Salary: £838.88 per week
Would you love to be part of a professional engineering team that maintains and repairs a modern and varied fleet of vehicles? How about developing your own technical skills on future hybrid and electric vehicles…all whilst mentoring our keen-to-learn apprentices to pass on your existing knowledge?
If that sounds like something you want to be involved in, we’d love to have you on board – and we’ll give you all the training and development you need to get to where you want to go!
Stagecoach London operates 1400 vehicles over 13 sites and our Barking team are looking for people from a background in vehicle electrical engineering to be part of our growing team. You may be in a truck / HGV, rail, light commercial or automotive setting at the moment, but fancy a change of vehicle to enhance your skill-set. Likewise, if you’ve got PCV experience, you’ll still find new opportunities to learn given the variety of modernity of our fleet.
Our Barking garage operates a varied range of vehicles from single deckers to double deckers, including some new electric buses, and you’ll have some state-of-the-art machines to work on!
As part of our engineering team, you’ll be a key part in making sure our vehicles are in tip-top condition to transport our fantastic customers around East London. It’s a really important role within our garage, so we’ll make sure you’re as looked after as our vehicles are!
You'll need to possess motor vehicle qualifications and experience, however, we’ll train you on everything else you need to know, and you’ll be supported by a great team of fellow Electricians, Mechanics, Technicians, Storespeople, Administrators, and Engineering Managers who all pull together to do a brilliant job.
And interestingly, it’s not all garage-based work – you could well find yourself out and about dealing with vehicle issues on the road!
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 turn over £1.3bn and we’re not planning on hanging our boots up anytime soon!
* Safe Environment: We provide boots, overalls and specialist equipment so no need to worry about being safe and protected, or having the right kit for the job.
* Free travel: For you and a household member on TfL bus and rail services (this is a non-contractual benefit) and outside London, there is free travel for you and a companion on Stagecoach buses across the UK.
* Great Income & Benefits: Plus a good pension scheme to look after you after you’ve hung up the spanner or multimeter!
* Promotions: If you’re happy sticking as an Electrician then that’s absolutely fine by us…but if you do want to progress we’ll support you every step of the way.
* An employee assistance programme: To support health and wellbeing through a confidential service available 24 hours a day.
* A great working environment: With loads of opportunity to make new friends from a bunch of great colleagues and employee networks building inclusive environments.
So, if you have an engineering background with a vehicular slant (truck, haulage, automotive, plant, rail, farm – if it moves, it’s good experience for working on buses) and have a passion for great work with a great team, then we can’t wait to receive your application!
Stagecoach workplace culture is one where everyone can be themselves and where all the differences our people bring to the business are celebrated. We welcome applications from all, irrespective of background, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, beliefs, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation or age.
