Keith Gordon Email and Phone Number

I am an experienced professional with extensive experience in the Engineering supply chain.I have spent the last 38 years involved in the engineering industry, ranging from the shop floor to managerial positions. The first 9 years were spent in shipbuilding construction followed by 21 years in engineering supplies in various roles including being company owner for 13 years, supplying all forms of Engineering equipment and services to large organizations such as BAE and BNFL. My role as a company owner involved the day to day running of the business, making contact with professional supply chain people from major Engineering companies working with them to deliver the best possible solutions for the requirements. In my present roll I am working on the purchasing side of the supply chain as a Procurement Engineer at Siemens Energy Sector, Oil & Gas Division (Tronic). In this roll I am responsible for the quality of the supplier base, which includes the supplier audit program and updating of the supplier rating system, producing reports and performance graphs for senior management. This roll involves day to day contact with Engineers and Quality staff of vendors, discussing any quality issues and implementation of process improvements to help them solving any manufacturing issues. The roll also includes visiting supply chain vendors as a Lead Auditor to carry out Quality, H&S and Environmental audit to ISO 9001:2008, 14001 & 18001 standard. I believe the above experiences have equipped me with the skills required to negotiate, communicate and manage most situations one comes across in an engineering environment. I particularly enjoy working in challenging and complex environments where my problem solving skills are valued and where I am free to implement practical solutions that help drive supply chain solutions. I consider myself a valuable team member capable of conversing successfully at all levels in a clear, concise and professional manner.
