Maritime Solutions Architect

Role: Maritime Solutions Architect

Location: Fully remote working with occasional travel to international and domestic client sites

Salary: Up to £70k plus benefits

Ahoy there!

Have you spent a lot of time in the engine room of sea-faring vessel, as a second engineer or similar?

Do you understand the maritime industry from a technical, hands-on perspective?

Are you looking to come up for air and be land-based once again but don’t know where you’ll fit in?

Do you want to help the planet and the people on it?

If you are shouting ‘YES!’ to all these questions, then read on, this role is for you!

Working with a small start-up company in the tech4good space, I am looking for you- someone who has come from the maritime industry, can speak to jargon, understand how things work, and garner respect from the people therein.

In this role, you will be customer-facing: using all your knowledge and insight to work closely with maritime companies, to understand how they captain their ships and getting their behavioural data to turn it into actionable insights on how they can make small changes to reduce their fuel consumption, reduce their carbon emissions, and save money.

In this company, you will be surrounded by people who are all pulling in the same direction, who care deeply about the industry, and are great at what they do.

As you can imagine, good communication skills, a natural curiosity and desire to solve customer and user problems, and knowledge of the different systems and data onboard ships, including 3rd party maritime systems and data available, are necessary for you to perform this role really well.

It would be useful- but not a requirement- if you’ve got any experience of/passion for/desire to learn about data analysis here, as the internal part of your role will be to spot patterns and insights from large amounts of data from ship captains to allow them to reduce their carbon emissions through reduced fuel consumption.

You will be working in a modern Agile environment and will be taught any skills that you don’t have in this area, from Excel, Python, and SQL, to modern software delivery practices, DevOps principles, etc.

This is a fantastic role for someone who wants to stay close to the maritime industry they love, who wants to pick up new skills, and stay on land!
