Then this is your chance to work in a dynamic international role - where your practical experience makes a difference.

We are:

Cooperative Bebeka U.A. is a well-known name in the maritime fuel market, with a strong focus on quality, reliability, and sustainability. As a link between shipping companies, suppliers, and logistics partners, Bebeka plays a crucial role in global bunker trading. At Bebeka, you have the opportunity to use your maritime experience and expertise to make an impact in a dynamic, international environment actively supporting the energy transition.

Your role: director of fuel security on the world's oceans

As Senior Bunker Trader/Technical Advisor Fuels at Bebeka UA, you are the connecting link between our members, shipping companies, fuel suppliers, and logistics partners. You ensure that ships worldwide are supplied on time and compliant with the right fuels.

You know what's happening on board because you've experienced it yourself. With your technical and operational knowledge, you act as a content advisor and strategic negotiator. You combine commercial insight with practical experience, helping customers and colleagues navigate a rapidly changing market.

Don't want to sail anymore - but still want to stay in the maritime world?

This role offers you the opportunity to use your maritime background in a crucial shore-based role. You continue to work with ships, technology, and operations - but with regularity, development opportunities, and more control over your personal life.

Hybrid or remote work is negotiable. You work from the office, home, or on-site - depending on the situation, clients, or market developments.

What do we offer you?

· Work with international impact and a contribution to the energy transition

· A key role within a leading organization in maritime fuels

· A professional work environment with room for initiative
