Ember is the UK's first all-electric coach company. We launched in October 2020 and are now running on three routes – Dundee to Glasgow, Dundee to Edinburgh, and Aberdeen to Edinburgh – with routes connecting to Inverness and Fort William launching in the Spring of 2025.
We’re looking for a PSV Mechanic - Night Time to join the team that works across our fleet – 78 electric coaches at the moment, and growing fast. You’ll be our fifth qualified mechanic hire, and will be at the heart of the team that we are building across Scotland. We are at advanced stages in developing new charging hubs in places like Oban, Livingston and Thurso with many more sites in the pipeline.
The ideal candidate will be experienced, energetic and confident with the passion to stay on top of the latest developments in the electric vehicle market. This will mean working closely with the team in Dundee, and spending time there, but also having the opportunity of visiting and working at our sites right across Scotland.
This is a truly unique challenge - our coaches are used more intensively than any other electric vehicles in the world so not every problem will have a solution that can be found in a manual. Instead, your team will need to work closely with the manufacturer, go deep into understanding root causes and think creatively about how we could be avoiding the problem altogether in the future.
We’re looking for a problem-solver who will help to identify and resolve issues quickly, and will relish the challenge of joining a new team that will make our state of the art fleet the best-maintained in the country with the lowest downtime.
Responsibilities
As a PSV Mechanic, you're on the front-line. Not only will you be responsible for solving the immediate challenges in order to keep our coaches on the road, you'll also have an innate eye for both planned and preventative maintenance, always staying one step ahead of the curve.
We currently have a team of five employees dedicated to fleet maintenance. You’ll form part of a department that brings all aspects of our maintenance in-house as we continue to grow. You'll be our first dedicated night-shift worker, but we'll make sure you're fully integrated into the wider team.
We use technology heavily in the business, primarily building our own software systems. You'll need to be tech-savvy, open to learning new systems and comfortable using remote diagnostics.
Requirements
You will need to meet these requirements:
* Qualifications for PSV/HGV maintenance and repair to NVQ Level 3 or an international equivalent.
* IRTEC accreditation.
* 3+ years of experience.
* Familiarity with all aspects of DVSA compliance.
* A full UK driving licence (6 points or less).
Preferred:
* High-voltage training.
* Experience in using a fleet management system.
* Full Category D PCV licence (we will help with training if not already in place).
* Experience in MOT preparation and safety/quality checks.
