Master Technician (Days) in Bromley

Salary up to £1,050.00 per week. We need you!! 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 South East London, transporting our fantastic customers. 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 for maintaining and repairing our fleet of buses. Our buses include modern double deckers and single deckers as well as some new Electric buses which are now in service with us.

You need to have worked on buses before and be able to:

• Undertake routine, preventative maintenance in accordance with Company maintenance schedules.
• 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.
• Service and repair wheelchair ramps from various manufacturers.
• Undertake mechanical/electrical and bodywork tasks as necessary in order to facilitate repairs.
• Action repairs and test repairs have been effective.
• Keep abreast of technical developments and new equipment introduced.
• Assist in the technical training of mechanical/electrical apprentices.
• Assist management in reviewing vehicle reliability statistics and formulating a maintenance strategy to improve vehicle reliability.

What we’re looking for:

• NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in HGV, PCV or vehicle maintenance.
• Strong hands-on diagnostic and fault-finding skills.
• Someone confident working on modern vehicles, hybrid and electric included.
• A safety-first mindset, but quick-thinking and proactive too.
• A great communicator and teammate who brings others along.
• Experience training or supporting others is a real bonus.

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 it’s not all garage-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:

• Great benefits including a competitive salary, up to £28.00 per hour, company pension scheme, free financial education and affordable loans, and a range of money-saving opportunities including discounts on holidays and retail brands, cinema outings, dental insurance, vehicle breakdown cover and hotels and attractions.
• 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.
• UK-wide opportunities, career development and secondment opportunities to work elsewhere in our UK business. If you’re happy working in operations then that’s absolutely fine by us…but if you do 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.
• 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.
• 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.
