About the Opportunity
Our client is a fast-growing maritime technology business developing wind-assisted propulsion systems that help reduce fuel consumption and emissions across global shipping.
They are now looking to appoint a Performance Engineer to join their growing team. This is a rare opportunity for someone with strong experience working with real-world engineering data, telemetry, or industrial systems to help shape how performance is measured, understood, and improved across a growing fleet of commercial vessels.
Working across engineering, software, and commercial teams, you will own the end-to-end data and insight pipeline, designing how operational data flows from onboard systems through to internal engineering tools and customer-facing reporting. You will play a central role in ensuring performance is captured accurately and translated into meaningful insight that supports engineering improvement, reliability decisions, and validated fuel-saving claims.

Role & Responsibilities
As Performance Engineer, you will own the flow of operational data from onboard systems through to engineering insight and customer reporting, helping to close the loop between real-world operation and product development. Responsibilities will include:
• Owning the end-to-end data and insight pipeline across operational performance reporting
• Designing how data flows from onboard systems into internal engineering tools and customer-facing outputs
• Building and maintaining data pipelines, workflows, and reporting processes
• Developing dashboards and reporting tools to support internal teams and external stakeholders
• Translating complex operational datasets into clear conclusions and actionable recommendations
• Supporting engineering improvements, reliability decisions, and validated fuel-saving claims
• Working closely with engineering, software, and commercial teams to improve how data is structured, automated, and applied
• Continuously improving reporting accuracy, usability, and scalability as the fleet grows
• Helping to define how product performance is measured, understood, and communicated across the business
