- Pass on your skills and experience to our future engineers through supporting our engineering apprentices
You’ll be one of a dedicated team of engineers who maintain and repair a modern and varied fleet of over 80 vehicles so our fantastic customers can travel safely and comfortably every day to healthcare and employment, to shopping and
leisure, and to see friends and family. We’ve big plans and are looking for someone to help us deliver them. We are looking for someone who is friendly, flexible, reliable and takes pride in their work. You will work on a 5 over 7 basis following a shift pattern and don’t worry we’ll provide you with training in the most up to date equipment.
Aside from the satisfaction of being a key worker in your community, there’s loads of reasons for you to join the Stagecoach West Scotland team...
Great benefits including a generous company pension scheme, 28 days (increasing to 33 after 2 years), free travel for you and a companion, free financial education and affordable loans, and finally a range of money-saving opportunities including discounts on holidays and retail, cinema outings, dental insurance, vehicle breakdown cover and hotels and attractions
Free travel for you and a companion on our buses – so on your days off you can be off shopping without worrying about parking the car, or heading off for a day in the city or the countryside without worrying about the cost of fuel or parking
Training – a dedicated high level training programme to reinforce your existing skills and give an opportunity to gain a qualification in another trade
Varied work – interestingly it’s not all depot-based work...you could well find yourself out and about dealing with vehicle issues on the road, so it won’t always be the same four walls you’re looking at. And as one of the UK’s leading transport operators we’re investing heavily in electric vehicles and depot infrastructure, so there’s plenty to keep you interested
Plenty of job security from being a key worker at the heart of our communities, where we always need great people servicing our fleet of vehicles, be they Alexander Dennis, Scania, Volvo or Optare
A safe environment – we provide boots, overalls and specialist equipment so no need to worry about being safe and protected, or having the right kit for the job
UK-wide opportunities whereby if you’re moving out of choice or circumstance, as we run bus companies across the UK, you can transfer to a new location
Career development through developing your technical skills on future hybrid and electric vehicles, and career progression to management and directorship – a good number of our Engineering Directors started their career with us as mechanics and fitters
Secondment opportunities to work elsewhere in the business – either on big events like Silverstone and Cheltenham Festival, or into our head office support functions
An employee assistance programme to support health and wellbeing through a confidential service available 24 hours a day which provides specialist guidance and assistance on a range of personal and work-related issues, from dealing with stress and anxiety to managing financial, marital or legal issues. Face-to-face counselling sessions are also offered, alongside telephone and online support.
A great working environment with loads of opportunity to make new friends from a bunch of great workmates, managers who work hard to create great places to work, and employee networks building inclusive environments for women, veterans, carers, multicultural and LGBTQ+ colleagues
Joining bonus of £1,500 paid in instalments
The recruitment process is simple – you apply with your CV, we’ll have a good read then get you in for an interview and give you a tour of the depot, and that’s it!
There are a few of things we need from you:
- You need to have an engineering background with a vehicular
- focus – car, van, bus, HGV / LGV, haulage, automotive, plant, rail, farm – if it moves, it’s good experience!
- You need to want to deliver high standards of engineering proactive maintenance and repair
Sound good? Let’s get the wheels in motion!
