We are currently recruiting on behalf of our client for a Materials Support and Deck Operations Coordinator to support the Platform Materials Controller in delivering efficient and effective management of offshore material requirements within the PSCM GOO operating function. The role focuses on ensuring the timely availability, tracking and control of materials while maintaining high standards of accuracy, quality and optimisation.

The position provides essential coordination between offshore and onshore stakeholders—including Deck Crew, OIM, OMC, OTL, MTL, Albert Quay Logistics, Marine, and other MM/WH teams—to support smooth operational delivery. It also acts as a focal point for offshore deck operations, coordinating activities, maintaining planning tools such as Aize, and facilitating structured planning meetings to ensure safe, efficient and well-managed deck execution.

Key Responsibilities

Objective 1: Deck Operations Coordination

• Support the coordination of offshore deck operations during nightshift to ensure safe, efficient and well-controlled execution.
• Maintain and update planning tools (e.g. Aize) to reflect current and upcoming deck activities.
• Assist in ensuring deck readiness for planned operations, including vessel activities and cargo handling.

Objective 2: Support to PMC – Materials Coordination

• Support the day shift Platform Materials Controller (PMC), who acts as the primary materials focal point, by maintaining continuity of materials coordination during nightshift.
• Ensure material requirements, risks and priorities are tracked and communicated clearly to enable seamless handover between shifts.
• Assist in preparing and updating materials status to support PMC-led coordination with onshore teams.

Objective 3: Inventory Management & Stock Accuracy

• Maintain control of offshore inventory through routine cycle counts and structured stock checks during nightshift.
• Investigate discrepancies and support timely reconciliation to ensure alignment between physical stock and SAP records.
• Ensure materials are correctly stored, labelled and recorded to maintain accessibility and operational efficiency.

Objective 4: Maintenance Order (MO) Support

• Support the effective management of materials linked to Maintenance Orders (MOs) during nightshift.
• Ensure MO materials are accurately tracked, staged and available to meet planned execution timelines.
• Maintain visibility of MO material locations and status using SAP and supporting tools (e.g. Material Tracker IMOM).
• Assist with issuing, returning and reconciling MO materials to maintain system accuracy and cost control.
• Support the identification and recovery of unused or surplus materials to reduce unnecessary procurement.
• Contribute to cost avoidance initiatives by ensuring available stock is utilised wherever possible.
• Assist in capturing and maintaining data to support monthly cost avoidance reporting.

Objective 6: Stakeholder Coordination & Communication

• Maintain effective communication with offshore teams, including Deck Crew, MTL, MSS, OIM, OMC and logistics functions.
• Ensure clear and accurate handovers between nightshift and dayshift teams, particularly the PMC.
• Escalate any material risks, shortages or operational issues that may impact execution.
• Ensure accurate and timely processing of material movements within SAP during nightshift operations.
• Maintain high standards of data integrity to support decision-making and reporting.
• Support tracking of inbound/outbound materials, manifests and documentation.

Objective 8: Compliance & Assurance

• Ensure all material handling and deck activities comply with relevant safety standards, Dangerous Goods regulations and BP policies.
• Support the preparation and verification of documentation for offshore transport and materials handling.
• Promote safe and compliant working practices at all times.
• Identify opportunities to improve nightshift materials processes, stock management and deck coordination.
• Support implementation of improvements that enhance efficiency, accuracy and operational effectiveness.
• Contribute to lessons learned and best practice sharing across shifts.
