Would you love to be part of a professional engineering management team that maintains and repairs a modern and varied fleet of vehicles?

If so, we are looking for Deputy Engineering Managers to assist the Engineering Manager in the day to day management of the engineering function at our Plumstead garage in south east London. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring that our fleet of vehicles are maintained to the standard required by the Company, TfL and the DVSA. Your role as Deputy Engineering Manager is not just about achieving maximum vehicle availability and continually improving standards, you will also have a direct influence on Health & Safety compliance, fatigue management and employee wellbeing.

You should have a thorough understanding of mechanical engineering and vehicle maintenance procedures for large vehicles, preferably PCVs, as well as knowledge of electrical engineering, bodywork construction and basic stores procedures. The post holder should have the ability to gain a Transport CPC, if requested to do so. The ability to plan,prioritise, analyse and make decisions is also essential as well as an up-to-date understanding of Health & Safety legislation.

Our Plumstead garage operates a varied range of double deck buses including a number of hybrid and electric buses. You’ve probably seen some of our buses driving around south east London, transporting our fantastic customers around the area. Those customers rely on our services to get them to work, to the high street, to hospitals, to days away and nights out – and as part of our engineering management team you’ll be key to making sure our vehicles are in tip top condition to do just that. It’s a really important role within our garage, so we’ll make sure you’re as looked after as our vehicles are!

Aside from the reward of helping to deliver an incredible experience to our customers, there’s plenty more we can offer :

Benefits

• Job Security – we’ve been going since 1980, we turn over £1.3bn and we’re not planning on hanging our boots up anytime soon!
• Safe Environment – our safety strategy is at the heart of everything we do mention - we provide PPE and specialist equipment so you do not need to worry about being safe and protected.
• Free travel – for you and a household member on TfL bus and rail services (this is a non-contractual benefit). That means on your days off (of which there are plenty!) you can be off shopping without worrying about parking the car, or heading off for a day in the city without paying a fortune in fuel!
• Great Income & Benefits – a salary of £63,609.80 per annum with a further shift allowance of £3,648.95 per annum to be precise, plus a good pension scheme to look after you after you when you retire!
• Development – if you’re happy sticking as a Deputy Engineering Manager then that’s absolutely fine by us…but if you do want to progress we’ll support you every step of the way. You will be given exposure to work which will develop your skills and experience to allow you to progress your management career further. The vast majority of our Engineering Managers and Directors are home grown talent – so that could very well be you in the not too distant future!

So, if you have an engineering supervisory or management background working with large vehicles, then we can’t wait to receive your application!
