We need you

If you love repairing bodywork on large vehicles 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 120 vehicles driving around the London Boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and the surrounding east London area transporting our fantastic customers across 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 depot, so we'll make sure you're as looked after as our vehicles are

You'll have the responsibility of maintaining and repairing the bodywork our fleet of 120 buses, part of the near 1250 we operate across London.

Our buses include modern double deckers and single deckers as well as some new Electric buses which are now in service with us.

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 Electricians, Mechanics, Technicians, Storespeople, Administrators and Engineering Managers who all pull together to do a brilliant job.

And there's plenty of variety - repairing or replacing framework, panels, ramps, doors, upholstery and even welding and painting - so if your up for the challenge we need you.

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 a household member on TfL bus and rail services (this is a noncontractual 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
A great regular income and great benefits up to £20.71 per hour, based on experience, to be precise, plus a good pension scheme to look after you after you've hung up the spanner
Promotions perhaps you're happy sticking as a Coachmaker 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 in other technical roles 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 ideally you will need to have worked in an engineering field involving large vehicles - truck, haulage, automotive, plant, rail, farm - if it is large and it moves, it's good experience for working on buses
