We are looking for a talented Engineering Manager who will uphold our high standards of maintenance and then work to improve them yet further in our new purpose built workshop.

You will be a “hands-on” manager who is capable of leading a small team of staff. Although part of your role is the efficient keeping of our engineering records, this role requires leadership on the shop floor. You will have sound technical knowledge and you’ll be able to diagnose and rectify faults with our fleet of Volvo buses and coaches and Mercedes Minibuses. You’ll be skilled at allocating tasks efficiently to your team, and will expect them to deliver high-quality results while following company procedures. Above all, your attention to detail will ensure that the health and safety of our customers and of people in our depot is never compromised.

Our engineering workshop opens at 05:00 and closes at 19:00 Monday-Friday, although some weekend working will be required as part of our 24 on call rota.

Key responsibilities:

• Ensuring that sufficient buses are always available for service, including spares
• Ensuring that the engineering team is fully tasked and motivated
• Ensuring that our buses and our workshop are safe and well-maintained
• Ensuring that our buses are well-presented on the road
• Communicating effectively and professionally with the operations team
• Maintaining accurate records
• Ensuring that the company’s procedures are followed throughout the workshop

Skills, Experience and Qualifications:

Essential:
• Relevant engineering qualification(s) such as NVQ, HNC, BTEC
• Full UK driving licence, plus PCV licence

Desirable:
• Successful completion of a recognised apprenticeship scheme

Candidates need to possess detailed technical engineering knowledge, an understanding of engineering procedures and health & safety legislation, and the skills of problem-solving and leading a team of people. Ideally you will come from bus or coach background, but you may have military or HGV experience.

Relocation and accommodation available.

Required experience:

• Engineering Management: 1 year

Required licences or certifications:

• PSV Driving Licence
• Fully qualified bus engineer
