We are searching for an Engineer Performance Manager to join our team. You'll develop relationships with the engineers, understanding what motivates them, and acting as a gateway to their success. Your focus will be on optimising both their technical and personal development in the workplace.

What you'll be doing:

• Conduct regular one-to-one meetings and formal reviews with engineers to assess their performance against agreed objectives.
• Develop and track Individual Development Plans (IDPs) that focus on both technical growth and soft skill development, ensuring engineers are consistently progressing towards their career goals.
• Implement a structured approach to monitor engineer performance, using a combination of objective data points and subjective feedback.
• Act as the central point of contact between the engineering team, account managers, technical assurance, and other departments.
• Ensure clear, consistent, and timely communication flows across all teams, maintaining alignment between business objectives and engineer activities.
• Support the operational effectiveness of the engineering team, ensuring engineers are properly aligned to assignments, have clear deliverables, and are supported with the resources they need to succeed.
• Drive a culture of continuous improvement by regularly reviewing processes, gathering feedback from engineers, and identifying ways to enhance performance management, communication, and the engineer support mechanism.
• Promote and embed Opticore’s values within the engineering team, fostering a culture of professionalism, collaboration, respect, and personal ownership.
  
  

What you'll bring:

• A history of people management, including one-to-one meetings, formal performance reviews, and end-of-year appraisals.
• Demonstrated ability to create and manage Individual Development Plans (IDPs) to monitor, coach, and support engineers’ career progression.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multiple business functions.
• High attention to detail, ensuring consistency, fairness, and follow-through in all aspects of engineer management and support.
• Strong active listening skills, with the ability to fully engage in conversations and understand the needs of individuals, clients, and the wider team.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills.
• Confident handling conflict resolution, providing fair and balanced outcomes that support both the individual and the business.
  
  

What we give to you:

• Private healthcare & dental
• Pension Contribution
• EV car, workplace nursery, tech, and cycle-to-work salary sacrifice schemes
• Monthly social events, along with Summer and Christmas Parties
• Fully stocked drinks fridge in the office
• EMI share scheme
