Responsibilities

We are looking for an experienced Shift Mechanic to join our Ardrossan team. You will work on a 5 out of 7 days basis, maintaining and repairing the Company\'s vehicles to the strict standards set by Stagecoach and DVSA. You\'ll be part of a team of engineers who maintains and repairs a modern and varied fleet so customers can travel safely and comfortably each day. The depot operates a fleet of around 35 vehicles, which will shortly include electric buses. You may also work on vehicle issues on the road and contribute to depot and broader business initiatives.

Qualifications

• Completed a recognised apprenticeship.
• Have a minimum of 4 years as an apprentice under your belt.

Benefits

Great benefits including a generous company pension scheme and holiday allowance, free travel for you and a companion, free financial education and affordable loans, and discounts on holidays, retail, cinema, dental insurance, vehicle breakdown cover, hotels and attractions.

Free travel for you and a companion on our buses – on your days off you can travel without worrying about parking or fuel costs.

Training – a dedicated high‑level training programme to reinforce your existing skills and provide an opportunity to gain a qualification in another trade.

Varied work – not all depot-based; you may be out and about dealing with vehicle issues on the road. We are investing in electric vehicles and depot infrastructure to keep you engaged.

Plenty of job security as a key worker in our communities, servicing a fleet of Alexander Dennis, Scania, Volvo or Optare vehicles.

A safe environment – boots, overalls, and specialist equipment provided for safety and the right kit for the job.

Career development – develop technical skills on future hybrid and electric vehicles, with opportunities for progression to management and directorship.

Secondment opportunities to work elsewhere in the business, including large events or head office support functions.

An employee assistance programme supporting health and wellbeing with confidential 24/7 guidance and counselling options.

A great working environment with opportunities to build networks across diverse colleagues and employee networks.

Application process

The recruitment process is simple – you apply with your CV, we review it, invite you for an interview and provide a depot tour.

Location: Stagecoach Ardrossan Depot, Harbour Road, Ardrossan KA22 8BZ
