PSV / HGV Master Technician / Mechanic

Shift Master Technician / Mechanic – Caerphilly

We are looking for an experienced Vehicle Mechanic / Technician to join our team in Caerphi

Hourly rate of up to £20.50 with typical annualized earnings over £43,000 with overtime. we are also offering a £2000 new starter incentive payment

1st payment of £500, first payday after completion of training
2nd payment of £500, 6 months after successfully passing your probation period.
3rd Payment of £1,000, 12 months after successfully passing your probation period.
All payments are subject to normal deductions of tax and national insurance.

Guaranteed 39 minimum hours with plenty of overtime potential available at enhanced rates
Up to 7 weeks of holiday per year (after the qualifying period).

You’ll be part of the team to maintain and repair a modern and varied fleet of 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.

Aside from the satisfaction of being a key worker in your community, there are loads of reasons for you to join the Stagecoach South Wales team…

Great benefits including a generous company pension scheme, up to 25 days holiday, 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 hotel and attractions
Free travel for you and a companion on our buses – so parking on days off you can be off shopping without worrying about parking the car or heading off for a day in the city or by the seaside without worrying about the cost of fuel or parking
Training – a dedicated high-level training program to reinforce your existing skills and allow qualifying 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 / Cummins, 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 Euro 6, 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, Cheltenham Festival, and the Commonwealth Games, or into our head office support functions
An employee assistance program to support health and well-being 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 counseling sessions are also offered, alongside telephone and online support.
A great working environment with loads of opportunities 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

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 things we need from you:

You need to have an engineering background with a vehicular focus and a relevant NVQ Level 3 qualification or equivalent – bus, HGV, car / light van, plant, rail, farm – if it moves, it’s a good experience!
You need to want to deliver high standards of engineering maintenance and repair
We operate our buses almost 24 hours a day and although we try to makeshift patterns as friendly as possible, there may be required to cover late shifts and/or weekends on a rotational basis.

So, if that’s you, and you like what we’re offering, then apply below!

Stagecoach workplace culture is one where everyone can be themselves and where all the differences our people bring to the business are celebrated. We welcome applications from all, irrespective of background, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, beliefs, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, or age
