Business Development Coordinator

About GLO Marine

GLO Marine is an engineering and project delivery company serving the marine, offshore and energy industries. From its engineering and operational base in Romania, it brings technical design, equipment integration and site execution under clear project responsibility, taking responsibility for making the engineering, equipment and installation work together, from first survey to commissioning.

About the role

If you hold an engineering degree but prefer sitting where the technical and commercial meet over working at a drawing board, this is that role.

Based in Bucharest, you will work on opportunities long before they become live projects. Reporting directly to the Director of Marketing & Business Development, you will evaluate incoming enquiries, decode complex technical scopes, coordinate cross-functional teams, and research target clients and markets. Much of the work involves unfamiliar, non-standard scopes that require reading specifications, asking engineering the right questions, and finding the right specialist partners to deliver. This is a technical coordinator role, not a target-carrying sales job.

Responsibilities

• Research target clients, fleets, and markets - who they are, what they operate, and what they are likely to need.
• Qualify new opportunities and prepare the summary on which we decide whether to pursue them.
• Work out the technical scope behind an enquiry - what the job actually involves, and what it would take to deliver.
• Coordinate small cross-functional teams on unfamiliar opportunities: kick-off, open questions, and chasing information to closure.
• Find and shortlist specialist partners and suppliers where we need capability we don't hold in-house, and support the checks on them.
• Attend client and partner meetings, write the record, and own the follow-up.
• Keep the business development portfolio current — initiatives, contacts, actions, and decisions.
• Track competitors, regulation, and technology in our growth areas, and turn them into short, usable intelligence.
• Prepare meetings, organise visits, and support trade shows and conferences end-to-end.

Requirements

• A technical degree from a polytechnic or technical university (electrical, mechanical, marine or naval, industrial, offshore, or energy engineering).
• 0–2 years' experience. Recent graduates are welcome; internships
• Able to read drawings, single-line diagrams, and specifications - or to pick it up quickly.
• Clear, accurate written English. Much of the job is writing things other people rely on, so it has to be accurate and readable.
• Organised and self-directed. You will hold several threads at once and chase people for answers without being reminded.
• Willingness to travel for client meetings, yard and site visits, and industry events (roughly 10–20% of your time).

Nice to have

• Exposure to shipbuilding, ship repair, retrofit, or offshore work, including student placements.
• Familiarity with marine electrical systems, power distribution, automation, or shore power.
• Experience with technical documentation, CAD, or specification work.
• A further language beyond Romanian and English.

Who this suits

Someone technically curious who would rather understand how something works than talk around it, comfortable saying “I don't know yet, I'll find out”, and careful about the difference between a fact and an assumption. A lot of this work concerns things the company has not done before, so an appetite for unfamiliar problems matters more than polish.

What we offer

• Direct exposure to international shipowners, operators, and partners from early on.
• Breadth across engineering, estimating, operations, and commercial that is hard to get this early in a career.
• Real responsibility on live opportunities, working directly with the director who runs the function.
• Travel to client sites, shipyards, and industry events across Europe and beyond.
• Competitive salary package, meal vouchers, private health insurance, and hybrid work options.
