As a Senior Operations Research Engineer, Ocean Network Optimization, you will join a team at the forefront of transforming how global trade moves. Leveraging advanced analytics, mathematical modelling and optimisation algorithms, we solve some of the industry's toughest challenges, from improving shipping container flows and vessel routing to designing resilient ocean networks that balance cost, service, sustainability and reliability. Your work will directly influence operational and strategic decisions that shape the future of global supply chains.\nThis is an opportunity to do more than build models. You will define and solve high-impact problems, lead innovative optimisation capabilities from concept through implementation, and help drive the shift towards data-driven, model-led decision making across Maersk's global ocean network. Working alongside talented colleagues from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, you will combine deep technical expertise with practical business impact, mentoring others and turning complex ideas into scalable solutions. If you are excited by tackling real-world problems at global scale and seeing your work create measurable value across one of the world's largest ocean logistics networks, Maersk offers an unparalleled platform to make your mark.\nWithin your impact and responsibilities, you will:\nDesign advanced optimisation models and heuristics and take them from idea to validated and implemented capability\nFrame complex planning problems as clear mathematical formulations with explicit assumptions and success criteria\nBuild reusable modelling components that follow modern engineering standards and integrate with production data systems\nImprove existing optimisation logic by closing gaps and lifting performance and scalability\nRun structured experiments to compare alternatives and verify model behaviour with data\nTranslate findings into clear recommendations and partner with stakeholders to drive implementation and adoption\nShape the innovation roadmap by identifying new application areas and accelerating promising concepts into pilots and scale\nCoach junior analysts and raise standards in modelling practice, documentation and code quality\nCommunicate results, trade offs and limitations in simple and decision-oriented language\nWhat you'll be accountable for:\nIntegrity, stability and performance of optimisation logic used in planning and decision making\nRobust validation and successful implementation of new modelling features with clear readiness criteria\nClear documentation of assumptions, constraints and data dependencies to support transparent decisions\nA value based and well prioritised modelling backlog focused on measurable business impact and time to value\nDemonstrated improvements in modelling logic, scalability and performance in real planning scenarios\nEffective adoption and correct use of optimisation capabilities across the user community with visible change outcomes\nActive contribution to the optimisation innovation pipeline by shaping new concepts, evaluating emerging methods and advancing promising ideas toward pilots and scale\nLeadership in the transformation agenda by helping teams shift from manual work to model driven planning and ensuring new solutions are embedded and used with confidence\nYou can offer:\nA PhD or master's degree in engineering, mathematics, computer science or a related quantitative field with exposure to optimisation or modelling\nDocumented experience designing and deploying optimisation models or decision support algorithms in operational or production environments\nExpert level Python skills, experience applying C++ for performance critical components and strong SQL capabilities\nAdvanced knowledge ofOperations Research, including Mixed Integer Programming, graph theory, decomposition methods, and large-scale optimisation\nStrength in problem framing, algorithm design, empirical validation and scaling solutions\nConfident use of Git and modern software engineering workflows\nAbility to collaborate smoothly across diverse functions and to build strong working relationships that support clear communication, shared problem solving and aligned decision making\nAbility to lead change by guiding stakeholders through adoption, explaining trade offs and ensuring appropriate use of models\nA disciplined approach to documentation, testing, version control and reproducibility\nIt is a plus if you also bring:\nFamiliarity with GPU based acceleration or parallel computation for optimising large problem instances\nExperience with AI or machine learning methods\nKnowledge of deep learning architectures and training workflows\nBackground in advanced statistics or statistical inference\nExperience with time series modelling or forecasting techniques\nIf you're ready to jump in, push the boundaries of modelling and optimisation, and make a visible impact from day one, let’s connect. We’re excited to see the ideas, expertise, and momentum you’ll bring as we elevate Maersk’s decision-support capabilities and shape the future of our network planning technologies.\nMaersk is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we embrace different styles of thinking.
