Jim Kerr, Expeditor

Johnson Procurement Solutions Ltd (JPS) is pleased to welcome Jim Kerr to the team as our new Expeditor, bringing with him a wealth of hands-on project experience across some of the world's most operationally demanding industries.


Jim's career has taken him through Construction, Shipbuilding, and Oil and Gas -sectors that share little margin for error and even less tolerance for delay. It is precisely this kind of environment that has shaped his approach to project delivery: methodical under pressure, sharp on prioritisation, and uncompromising when it comes to quality. Where others see complexity, Jim sees a problem to be structured and solved.


What distinguishes Jim is the breadth of his expertise. Few professionals move fluidly across engineering, construction supervision, and supply chain management, yet Jim has built a career doing exactly that. This cross-disciplinary fluency means he can engage credibly at every level of a programme - from the detail of day-to-day scheduling to the broader demands of stakeholder management and commercial oversight. He is as effective working within a high-performing team as he is taking the lead when a project demands stronger direction.


At JPS, Jim will support clients navigating complex, fast-tracked programmes where schedule adherence and budget discipline are non-negotiable. His appointment reflects the firm's ongoing investment in project and procurement professionals who combine deep technical knowledge with the practical judgement that only comes from years of working at the sharp end of major projects.


Steven Johnson, Managing Director of JPS, commented:


"Jim brings exactly the kind of multi-disciplinary, real-world experience that our clients benefit from. His background across Construction, Shipbuilding, and Oil and Gas gives him a perspective that is genuinely rare, and his commitment to delivering to the highest standards aligns closely with everything JPS stands for. We are very pleased to have him with us."
