Core professional competency
AMOS — Integrated Materials & Maintenance Management
Extensive practical AMOS experience connecting equipment, inventory, materials, procurement follow-up and maintenance planning across my offshore career.
One operational view of readiness
Equipment and components → Maintenance requirements → Work orders → Spare-parts requirements → Inventory → Material requests → Purchase requisitions → Purchase orders → Logistics → Maintenance readiness
This is an integrated operational workflow: related records, activities and people must be coordinated. It does not mean every step is an automatically connected software transaction.
Materials & procurement
- Material-request creation.
- Conversion of material requests into purchase requisitions.
- Purchase requisition processing.
- Purchase-order workflows and follow-up.
- Materials availability and delivery coordination.
Maintenance management
- Maintenance work-order creation.
- Planned and corrective maintenance coordination.
- Maintenance scheduling and work-order monitoring.
- Overdue and critical maintenance follow-up.
- Maintenance records and work-order closure.
Assignment context: Saipem and Jasper Explorer experience centred on AMOS materials, inventory and related procurement and logistics activities. At SSV Louisiana, my Planned Maintenance Supervisor role covered AMOS-related maintenance planning, scheduling, work-order activities and coordination across technical departments.
Activities were performed within the responsibilities and approval controls of each assignment. Purchase-order approval remained subject to the authorised workflow; technical engineering certification remained with the responsible qualified personnel.
Materials, logistics & asset accountability
Offshore Materials, Cargo Logistics & Asset Accountability
Extensive practical experience managing offshore materials and cargo accountability across international drilling and construction vessels, coordinating closely with deck crews, marine departments, supply vessels and shore-based logistics teams.
Responsibilities included coordinating inbound and outbound cargo loading and offloading with deck and marine crews; verifying received materials against shore-base cargo manifests; checking quantities, identification, condition and supporting documentation; photographing transit damage or discrepancies; and reporting shortages, damage and manifest discrepancies.
Prepared outbound cargo manifests incorporating equipment descriptions, part numbers, asset references, quantities, weights, dimensions and supporting photographs where applicable. Coordinated signed supply-vessel cargo receipt acknowledgements and transmitted the relevant documentation to shore bases for reconciliation and follow-up.
Maintained materials accountability for equipment, consumables and applicable bulk or waste movements, including drill water, oil-based mud and other operational cargo, in coordination with responsible technical and marine departments.
Followed applicable vessel security, cargo-handling and hazardous-material documentation procedures, including ISPS-related requirements and verification of relevant Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS/SDS).
Also maintained equipment identification, tagging and location records for rig assets, including drilling tubulars, risers, cranes, rescue boats, top drives, generators and associated equipment.
Combined physical materials accountability with AMOS-based component records, inventory transactions, requisitions, procurement follow-up and maintenance requirements to support offshore operational readiness.
These responsibilities were carried out in coordination with deck and marine crews, technical departments and shore-based logistics personnel, with operational execution and technical decisions remaining under the authority of the respective responsible departments.
My experience combined physical cargo accountability, equipment identification and asset-location tracking with AMOS-based inventory, requisition, procurement and maintenance records to support offshore operational readiness.
Inventory Governance & Materials Assurance
Across offshore materials and storekeeping assignments, participated in internal stock audits and client-required external audits, reconciled physical stock against AMOS and investigated discrepancies through receipts, issues and work-order history. Stock corrections and duplicate-code consolidation followed departmental consultation and the applicable approvals.
Monitored min/max levels and critical spares, maintained materials preservation, and checked receipts against manifests, part numbers and condition with technical-department confirmation of suitability. Maintained relevant SDS and lifting-equipment certificate records and tracked rental and third-party assets through identified, documented movements.
Prepared daily materials-consumption information to support operating-cost accounting and applicable client back-charges, and circulated below-minimum reports to relevant departments. Coordinated urgent materials and logistics with shore-based teams and technical departments through the required authorisations.

My professional career began in electronics education, technical training and industrial instrumentation.
I held teaching appointments at PSG College of Arts & Science, Sankara College of Science & Commerce and VLB Janakiammal College of Arts and Science, including a departmental leadership role at Sankara College.
My teaching experience covered electronics, microprocessors, assembly-language programming, hardware interfacing and laboratory instruction, alongside student-project supervision.
Between academic appointments, I worked as a Marketing & Service Engineer with MCIH in Chennai, gaining practical exposure to industrial process-control instruments, technical product demonstrations and customer support.
