RINA is currently recruiting for a UK Tender Coordinator to join its office in Chippenham within the RINA Consulting Tender Division.

What We're Looking For

Are you naturally organised, curious, and people-focused? Are you excited by the idea of helping a business grow, even if you've never worked in tenders before? If so, this role could be a perfect fit. You can do it fully remotely or work from one of our UK offices.
We’re looking for a Tender Coordinator to join our UK Contracts & Tender Management team. This is a key role where you’ll help us win new work by coordinating bids and proposals with a collaborative, friendly team. You’ll gain exposure to multiple departments and work with experienced professionals who will support your development.
Whether you're from a commercial, admin, or project support background — or just someone with the right energy and willingness to learn — we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

•   Monitor UK tender portals and flag opportunities to business development.
•   Coordinate internal bid discussions and timelines.
•   Review client documents (RFPs, RFQs, ITTs) and help shape our responses.
•   Proofread and format high-quality proposals using company templates.
•   Ensure timely submissions and follow up for feedback.
•   Help build a growing library of winning materials and support continuous improvement.
•   Work cross-functionally with technical, commercial, and leadership teams.

You'll Thrive Here If You

•   Communicate clearly and confidently (written and verbal).
•   Stay calm under pressure and juggle multiple deadlines with ease.
•   Love working with people and building strong, respectful relationships.
•   Are detail-oriented and comfortable proofreading or editing.
•   Are curious, self-driven, and eager to grow.
•   Are looking for a workplace that values authenticity, collaboration, and potential.

You don’t need a degree or years of bid experience — just a great attitude, excellent organisation skills, and a willingness to learn.
