Performance Manager – Technical Decarbonization

TORM • Denmark • Added on Nov 2, 2026
Apply →

This role connects shipboard operations with fleet performance data to identify where vessels are using excess fuel and help turn those findings into practical savings. The work spans TORM’s NEXUS platform, automated guidance and trials of energy-efficiency technologies, with regular input from vessel crews and shore teams.

The focus is measurable: reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions across a fleet of about 90 product tankers, while supporting operational performance. In a business that transports refined oil products and chemicals, improving how vessels use energy offers a direct way to lower the fleet’s emissions without losing sight of safety and reliable service. The position brings technical analysis close to decisions made at sea and ashore.

This suits someone with marine engineering or deck experience who can interpret operational data, communicate with senior officers and vessel managers, and follow improvement projects through in a global, round-the-clock shipping operation.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The role links fleet energy data to practical action. The manager assesses data quality from shipboard sensors through the NEXUS interface, develops user models and supervises automated guidance that identifies credible fuel-saving opportunities. Daily performance reviews help flag vessels with unusually high fuel use. The position also supports vessel and technical teams with decision-making, trials energy-efficiency technologies and works with senior officers on power and voyage optimization. Vessel visits and coordination across technical, tanker and vessel management teams help share operational learning.

Key learning opportunities for this job

The role could build expertise in ship energy performance and technical decarbonization, including how sensor data is collected, assessed and presented through an operational platform. The employee may gain practical experience evaluating energy-saving technologies and testing whether modeled opportunities work onboard. Regular contact with vessel officers and managers could deepen knowledge of tanker operations, voyage optimization and the constraints of shipping around the clock. The posting does not specify formal training or certifications, so learning appears likely to be grounded in fleet projects and collaboration across TORM’s technical teams.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The posting favors a marine engineer or deck officer with sailing experience, ideally on product tankers. Familiarity with vessel operations would help the candidate distinguish useful performance signals from data that needs validation, while analytical ability would support energy reviews and decision support. Strong communication and stakeholder management are important for working with senior officers and shore-based colleagues. The candidate should be self-directed, follow projects through, work flexibly when shipping operations require it, and communicate fluently in English across a culturally diverse workforce.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Use the CV to connect seagoing or marine engineering experience to specific examples of fuel performance, voyage optimization or onboard operational improvements. Explain what information you used, how you established whether it was reliable, and what changed as a result. For an interview, prepare to discuss how you would validate sensor data before recommending action, and how you would present a saving opportunity to a vessel team without overlooking safety or operational constraints. Examples of collaborating with tanker crews and shore teams would speak directly to the role.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The clearest sustainability focus is reducing fuel consumption and associated CO2 emissions across TORM’s product tanker fleet. The role contributes through data-led performance monitoring, identifying excess consumption and testing energy-efficiency technologies. Its impact is operational: findings must translate into guidance that vessel teams can use while maintaining safe and reliable transport. The position is therefore likely to connect climate objectives with day-to-day fleet management rather than focus on corporate reporting or broad environmental programs.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

A key challenge could be separating genuine fuel-saving opportunities from noise or gaps in data. The role is expected to follow information from sensors to the user interface and judge whether it is accurate enough to inform guidance. Recommendations also need to work in the conditions of live tanker operations. Aligning vessel crews, technical teams and managers, while responding to significant excess consumption across a geographically distributed fleet, may require clear communication and occasional flexibility beyond standard office hours.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

A day could begin with reviewing fleet energy performance and checking which vessels show unusually high fuel consumption. The manager might then investigate the underlying data in NEXUS, assess its quality and refine an interface model or automated guidance. Other work could include discussing a vessel’s performance with its manager, engaging onboard senior officers about power or voyage optimization, or coordinating a technology pilot with technical colleagues. The balance would vary with fleet needs, project activity and opportunities to visit vessels.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

The role could develop a career path in maritime decarbonization, fleet performance or technical operations. Direct exposure to vessel data, energy-efficiency trials and operational decision-making may help build expertise that spans engineering, analytics and implementation. Working with tanker and technical divisions could also support progression toward broader fleet performance or decarbonization leadership. The posting does not set out a formal promotion route, so growth would likely depend on project ownership and the ability to turn analysis into improvements adopted by vessel teams.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

The closest collaborators are the Head of Technical Decarbonization, the team’s colleagues, senior officers onboard and vessel managers. The role also works with TORM’s Tanker and Technical Divisions to interpret performance and coordinate energy-saving actions. Depending on the project, the manager may engage with crews during vessel visits and with internal or external participants in technology pilots. These interactions connect data analysis from shore with the practical needs of ships in operation.
