We need you

If you love being a vehicle technician but you're thinking "I fancy a change", "I want more variety" or "I want better hours", then we may just have exactly what you're looking for

You've probably seen some of our 84 vehicles driving around West Cumbria, transporting our fantastic customers across our network 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 fleet of buses in Lillyhall, part of the near 288 we operate across Cumbria & North Lancashire.

Vehicles include ADL, Mercedes, MAN and Optare.

We have invested (& continue to do so) in new buses, and thus there's some state of the art vehicles to work on.

Don't worry if you've not worked on these makes of vehicles before - we'll train you on everything you need to know, and you'll be supported by a great team of Fitters, fellow Technicians, Electricians and Engineering Managers who all pull together to do a brilliant job.

And it's not all depot-based work. You could find yourself out and about 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:

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
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 train fares
A great regular income and great benefits up to £39.5k per year to be precise, 38 Hours per week, plus a good pension scheme to look after you after you've hung up the spanner
Promotions perhaps you're happy sticking as a Master 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 Cumbria & North Lancashire Engineering Managers started off as Engineers so that could very well be you in the not too distant future
Training a dedicated high level training programme to reinforce the skills you already have and an opportunity to gain a qualification in another trade

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 a engineering technician field - truck, haulage, automotive, plant, rail, farm - if it moves, it's good experience for working on buses
