Stagecoach Group; London; On-site; GBP 80,000 - 100,000

Job description

Salary

£33.47 per hour

If you love being a multi-skilled vehicle technician but you’re thinking “I fancy a change”, “I want more variety” or “I want to work in a team”, then we may just have exactly what you’re looking for! You’ve probably seen some of our vehicles driving around the City and inner and outer London. 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 business, so we’ll make sure you’re as looked after as our vehicles are!

As a Mobile Master technician, you will be involved in assisting the garages within your area with the more complex issues that they face in keeping our fleet of approx. 1500 vehicles on the road. As the business moves towards the Zero Emissions target, our fleet mix changes towards electrical driven vehicles meaning you will be at the forefront of technology with the Bus market. You need to have worked on buses before and be able to:

1. undertake routine, preventative maintenance in accordance with Company maintenance schedules.
2. undertake diagnostic investigations on reported vehicle defects including engines, fuel systems, turbos, air, hydraulic and ABS/EBS braking systems using laptops and other test equipment and to identify faults and carry out repairs where practical to do so.
3. service and repair wheelchair ramps from various manufacturers.
4. undertake mechanical/electrical and bodywork tasks as necessary in order to facilitate repairs.
5. action repairs and test repairs have been effective.
6. keep abreast of technical developments and new equipment introduced.
7. assist in the technical training of mechanical/electrical apprentices.
8. assist management in reviewing vehicle reliability statistics and formulating a maintenance strategy to improve vehicle reliability.

From your basis, you will be assisting colleagues within your area and passing on best practice and ensuring that you share knowledge with our apprentices to train the next generation of engineers. You’ll be provided with a fully equipped company vehicle to enable you to support and assist our frontline colleagues out on the road and also the support of a great team of fellow Electricians, Mechanics, Technicians, Storespeople, Administrators and Engineering Managers who all pull together to do a brilliant job. Dealing with vehicle issues on the road, so it won’t always be the same four walls you’re looking at!

Aside from the reward of helping to deliver an incredible experience to our customers, there’s plenty more we can offer:

1. 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!
2. Free travel – for you and a household member on TfL bus and rail services (this is a non-contractual benefit). That means on your days off (of which there are plenty!) you can be off shopping without worrying about parking the car, or heading off for a day in the city without paying a fortune in fuel! Also a Stagecoach pass to use on our services outside of London.
3. A great regular income and great benefits – up to £33.47 per hour to be precise, plus a good pension scheme to look after you after you’ve hung up the spanner!
4. Company vehicle - available to use to and from work (normal tax implications)
5. UK-wide opportunities, career development and secondment opportunities – to work elsewhere in our UK business. Perhaps you’re happy sticking as a Mobile Technician 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 London Engineering Managers started off as Technicians – so that could very well be you in the not too distant future!
6. An employee assistance programme to support health and wellbeing through a confidential service available 24 hours a day, which provides specialist guidance and assistance on a range of personal and work-related issues, from dealing with stress and anxiety to managing financial, marital or legal issues.
7. A great working environment with loads of opportunity to make new friends from a bunch of great colleagues and employee networks building inclusive environments for women, veterans, carers, multicultural and LGBTQ+ colleagues. We are proud to advocate and collaborate with our corporate charity, as well as a number of community engagement projects – in addition to proudly promoting an array of health, wellbeing and family initiatives.

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 apply now.

Stagecoach is proudly an inclusive employer, striving for a culture where everyone can be themselves and where all the differences people bring are truly appreciated. We welcome applications from all, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, race, religion, beliefs, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, or age.
