Mormugao Port Authority Materials Manager 2026 — 1 Post, Apply by 06 Sep

Mormugao Port Authority (MPA), a Major Port Authority under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, Government of India, has released Mormugao Port Authority Materials Manager Recruitment 2026 for 1 post. This is a genuinely senior materials management role at one of India's major ports, distinct from MPA's earlier and separate 2026 recruitment for Senior Deputy Traffic Manager and Senior Deputy Chief Accounts Officer, which covered different posts under a separate notification closing 19 August 2026. Mormugao Port Authority operates one of India's oldest deep-water ports on the western coast at Goa, historically significant for iron ore exports and increasingly diversifying into container, coal, and general cargo handling as mining-based traffic has fluctuated over the years. Selected Materials Manager will oversee procurement, inventory management, stores administration, and materials planning functions for the port, including coordination with engineering and operations departments on spares and equipment sourcing critical to keeping port machinery and infrastructure running. The Materials Manager function at a major port authority of this kind is responsible for ensuring an uninterrupted supply chain for spares, consumables, and equipment needed to keep cargo-handling cranes, dredgers, and allied port machinery operational, since any procurement delay can directly affect vessel turnaround time and port throughput. Selection for Mormugao Port Authority Materials Manager 2026 is based on the candidate's existing service record in the specified feeder grade and is typically conducted through screening of applications followed by an interview by the port's Selection Committee. The pay scale for this Materials Manager post is in the range of approximately ₹80,000 to ₹2,20,000 per month, broadly comparable to similar Materials Manager appointments at other major ports such as Mumbai Port Authority. The Mormugao Port Authority Materials Manager 2026 online application is available through the official Mormugao Port Authority website. The last date to apply is 06 September 2026. Candidates should also note that Mormugao Port Authority ran a separate and larger recruitment drive earlier in 2026 for five contractual posts, including Manager, Head Cook, General Duty Doctor, and Environmental Managers, which closed in February 2026 and is entirely distinct from this Materials Manager vacancy. Candidates are therefore strongly encouraged to download and verify the specific notification and advertisement number for the Materials Manager post directly from the official website, rather than relying on the post title alone, and to read the complete official notification PDF before applying to confirm the exact eligibility criteria, age limit, and application fee, since this is a lateral senior-appointment style recruitment restricted to candidates already serving in the specified feeder grade rather than an open entry-level post.

Degree or equivalent qualification in Mechanical, Electrical, Production, or Industrial Engineering from a recognised university or institution is mandatory. Candidates must have a minimum of 3 years regular service in the grade of Senior Deputy Materials Manager, or an equivalent post in the pay scale of ₹60,000–1,80,000 (pre-revised ₹24,900–50,500 / ₹13,000–18,200), OR a combined 7 years of service in the grades of Senior and lower Materials Management posts, as specified in the official notification.

Age limit and category-wise relaxation as specified in the official Mormugao Port Authority notification; candidates should verify exact criteria before applying.

• Degree or equivalent in Mechanical, Electrical, Production, or Industrial Engineering from a recognised university
• Minimum 3 years regular service in the grade of Senior Deputy Materials Manager or equivalent post in the specified pay scale, OR combined 7 years of service across the specified feeder grades
• This is effectively a lateral senior appointment restricted to candidates with prior materials management experience at a major port trust or comparable industrial or commercial organisation, rather than an open entry-level post
• Candidates currently serving in materials management at other major ports, central PSUs, or large industrial organisations in a comparable grade and pay scale should carefully cross-check whether their specific designation and pay level satisfies the minimum service requirement
• Candidates should gather clear documentary proof of their current pay scale, grade, and years of service well in advance of applying, since the selection committee is likely to scrutinise this evidence closely given the seniority and single-vacancy nature of the post
• Candidates should refer to the official notification for exact age limit and any additional desirable qualifications, such as a postgraduate diploma in materials management

Application fee, if applicable, is specified in the official notification; candidates should refer to the official Mormugao Port Authority notification for exact fee amount and category-wise exemptions.
