We need you!!

If you love being a multi-skilled vehicle technician but you’re thinking “I fancy a change”, “I want more variety” or “I want to work in a team”, then we may just have exactly what you’re looking for!

You’ve probably seen some of our vehicles driving around the Waltham Forest, Hackney and the City ,transporting our fantastic customers across outer London.

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 team you’ll be a key part in making sure our vehicles are in tip top condition to do just that. It’s a really important role within our depot, so we’ll make sure you’re as looked after as our vehicles are!

You’ll have the responsibility for maintaining and repairing our fleet of buses, part of the near 1500 we operate across London. Our buses include modern double deckers and single deckers as well as some new Electric buses which are now in service with us.

You need to have worked on buses before, be good with computers and be able to:

• undertake routine, preventative maintenance in accordance with Company maintenance schedules.
• undertake diagnostic investigations on reported vehicle defects including engines, fuel systems, turbos, air, hydraulic and ABS/EBS braking systems using laptops and other test equipment and to identify faults and carry out repairs where practical to do so.
• service and repair wheelchair ramps from various manufacturers.
• undertake mechanical/electrical and bodywork tasks as necessary in order to facilitate repairs.
• action repairs and test repairs have been effective.
• keep abreast of technical developments and new equipment introduced.
• assist in the technical training of mechanical/electrical apprentices.
• assisting management in reviewing vehicle reliability statistics and formulating a maintenance strategy to improve vehicle reliability.

You’ll be supported by a great team of fellow Electricians, M echanics,Technicians, Storespeople, Administrators and Engineering Managers who all pull together to do a brilliant job.

And it’s not all garage-based work. You could 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!

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

• Job security – we’ve been going since 1980, we’re not planning on hanging our boots up anytime soon!
• 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! Also a Stagecoach pass to use on our services outside of London.
• A great regular income and great benefits – up to £33.47 per hour , plus a good pension scheme to look after you after you’ve hung up the spanner!

UK-wide opportunities, career development and secondment opportunities– to work elsewhere in our UK business .Perhaps you’re happy sticking as a Mobile Technician and that’s fine by us, but if you 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 career further. Many of our Stagecoach London Engineering Managers started off as Technicians – so that could very well be you in the not too distant future!

• ·An employee assistance programmeto 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.
• A great working environmentwith loads of opportunity to make new friends from a bunch of great colleagues and employee networks building inclusive environments for women, veterans, carers, multicultural and LGBTQ+ colleagues. We are proud to advocate and collaborate with our corporate charity, as well as a number of community engagement projects – in addition to proudly promoting an array of health, wellbeing and family initiatives.

So, if you fancy working in a great engineering team to make sure Susie gets to her job interview, Abdul gets to the hospital to pick up his wife, and Tom gets home from his night out okay, then please apply today!

Stagecoach workplace culture is one where everyone can be themselves and where all the differences our people bring to the business are celebrated.
