Job Description
Performance Engineer
Location: Southampton hybrid, 3 days per week on-site
Salary: £45,000-£65,000 plus excellent benefits package
Relocation and Sponsorship offered
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
Why Join?
This is a rare opportunity to join a business developing real‑world clean technology for the global shipping market.
Qualifications
You will be an analytically strong Performance Engineer, Data Engineer, Marine Performance Analyst, Industrial Data Engineer, Fleet Performance Engineer, or similar, with experience working with real‑world engineering or industrial data and turning complex information into clear, actionable insight.
You Should Bring
- Degree qualification in Engineering, Naval Architecture, Data Science, Physics, or a related technical discipline
- Solid experience working with real‑world engineering or industrial data
Experience building and maintaining data pipelines and processing workflows
- Strong analytical capability, with the ability to interpret complex datasets and translate them into clear insight
- Experience developing dashboards or reporting tools for both technical and non‑technical users
- Exposure to data from physical systems such as sensors, telemetry, or industrial equipment
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to present data in a commercially meaningful way
- A proactive and structured approach, with the confidence to work in a fast‑moving environment
Desirable Experience Includes
- Experience within marine, energy, or other industrial environments
- Exposure to reliability analysis or performance modelling
- Familiarity with scalable or cloud‑based data systems
- Experience supporting customer‑facing reporting or performance validation
- Understanding of how data can support product development and commercial decision‑making
Why Is This a Great Opportunity
You will benefit from:
- Working on real climate‑impact hardware
- High levels of ownership in a growing and ambitious business
- The opportunity to shape the product performance feedback loop at a defining stage of growth
- Broad exposure across engineering, data, software, and commercial teams
Salary
Annual Salary: £45,000-£65,000 (GBP)
