Join Our Team as a Skilled Shift Fitter/Technician at Stagecoach Fenstanton!

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated technician to help maintain our fleet of buses and keep Fenstanton and the world-famous Guided Busway moving. If you're ready to work in a supportive environment, surrounded by a great team that shares your passion for the business, then we want to hear from you.

About the Role:

• Annual Earnings: Up to £48,600 with overtime
• Hourly Rate: £21.82 per hour
• Hours: Guaranteed 39 hours per week on a shift pattern (including early, late, and weekend shifts)
• Overtime: Monday to Friday at time and a quarter, weekends at time and a half

You’ll be one of 6 technicians responsible for maintaining and repairing our modern and diverse fleet. Your work ensures that our customers can travel safely and comfortably to work, healthcare, shopping, and leisure activities.

Key Benefits:

• Generous Benefits Package:
  • Company pension scheme
  • 22 days of holiday
  • Free bus travel for you and a companion
  • Financial education and affordable loans
  • Discounts on holidays, retail, cinema, dental insurance, vehicle breakdown cover, hotels, and attractions
• Training and Development:
  • We offer a dedicated training programme to enhance your existing skills and help you gain additional qualifications, including PSV training.
  • You’ll pass on your knowledge by mentoring our engineering apprentices.
  • Varied and exciting work – not all your time will be spent in the depot; you’ll also handle vehicle issues out on the road.
  • Get hands-on experience with our electric and hybrid vehicle projects.
• Job Security: As a key worker, you’ll have plenty of job security, helping to maintain our fleet of Alexander Dennis, Scania, Volvo, and Optare buses.
• Safe Working Environment: We provide all the necessary protective gear, so you can work safely and confidently.
• Career Growth Opportunities: Develop your skills and grow within the business. Many of our current Engineering Directors started as mechanics and fitters. You could also explore secondment opportunities at major events like Silverstone or Cheltenham Festival, or in our head office support functions.
• Employee Assistance Programme: Access confidential support 24/7 for personal and work-related challenges, including stress, anxiety, financial, marital, or legal issues. Face-to-face counselling is also available.
• A Great Working Environment: You’ll be part of a friendly, supportive team, where managers are dedicated to creating a positive workplace. We promote inclusivity through our employee networks for women, veterans, carers, multicultural colleagues, and the LGBTQ+ community.

The Recruitment Process is Simple: Submit your CV, and we’ll be in touch to schedule an interview and give you a tour of the depot.

What We’re Looking For:

• Engineering experience in vehicle maintenance – whether that’s buses, HGVs, trucks, haulage, automotive, plant, rail, or farm vehicles.
• A commitment to high standards in engineering maintenance and repair.
• A full driving licence – and if you don’t have a PSV licence yet, don’t worry, we’ll train you!
