Salary £16.04 Per hour Vehicle Body repairer/Coach maker We are currently recruiting in our Peterborough Depot Want to be part of a professional team maintaining and repairing a modern varied fleet of vehicles, learn new skills, and teach apprentices on the way. We are looking for people with skills or willing to learn on current models, and future Diesel, Hybrid and Electric powered Vehicles. Think you have what it takes to be part of a team of people with diverse skills and willing to learn, then you maybe the person we are looking for. Stagecoach East operates 360 vehicles over 4 sites and we are looking for people with Truck/Rail/light commercial backgrounds in body repair to be part of our growing team. If you have a passion for being in body repairers or coach making and can teach people on the way your skills, “I fancy a change”, “I want more variety” or “I want better hours”, than what your current job offers, then we may just have exactly what you’re looking for You’ve probably seen some of our 80 vehicles driving around Bedford, transporting our fantastic customers in 37 million journeys across the East every year. 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 of maintaining and repairing our modern fleet of 85 buses in Bedford, part of the near 400 we operate across the East which include vehicles models such as Alexander Dennis, Scania, Volvo and Optare. We invested £4.6 million in new buses last year, and these are some state of the art vehicles to work on. Don’t worry if you’ve not worked on these vehicles before (or indeed buses) – we’ll train you on everything you need to know, and you’ll be supported by a great team of fellow body repairers, painters, Mechanics, Technicians and Engineering Managers who all pull together to do a brilliant job. 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 We also provide Boots, overalls and specialist equipment so no need to worry about being safe/protected or having the right kit for the job Free travel – for you and your companion on our buses. That means on your days off you can be off shopping for free without worrying about parking the car, or heading off for a day in the city without paying a fortune in petrol or bus fares A great regular income and great benefits – up to £16.04 per hour to be precise (a little more if you want shifts) plus a good pension scheme to look after you after you’ve hung up the Spanner’s, multimeter, or rivet gun Promotions – perhaps you’re happy sticking as a body repairer/coach maker 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 East Engineering Managers started off in the trade – so that could very well be you in the not too distant future You don’t have to come from a bus background (but we wouldn’t be put off if you did either), but you will need to have worked in an accident repair/ body repair field – car, truck, haulage, automotive, plant, rail, farm – if it moves, and you can repair it, it’s good experience for working on buses 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 click the Apply Now button.
