Electrician

Salary

Would you love to be part of a professional engineering team that maintains and repairs a modern and varied fleet of vehicles?

How about developing your own technical skills on future hybrid and electric vehicles…all whilst mentoring our keen-to-learn apprentices to pass on your existing knowledge? 

If that sounds like something you want to be involved in, we’d love to have you on board – and we’ll give you all the training and development you need to get to where you want to go!

You’ve probably seen some of our 198 vehicles from our Plumstead garage driving South London and Kent.

Plumstead team are looking for people from a background in vehicle electrical engineering to be part of our growing team. You may be in a truck / HGV, rail, light commercial or automotive setting at the moment, but fancy a change of vehicle to enhance your skill-set. Likewise, if you’ve got PCV experience, you’ll still find new opportunities to learn given the variety of modernity of our fleet.

Our Plumstead garage operates a varied range of vehicles from single deckers to double deckers. We operate a variety of vehicles including some new electric buses and you’ll have some state-of-the-art machines to work on!

You’ve probably seen some of our vehicles driving around South London, transporting our fantastic customers around the area. 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 garage, so we’ll make sure you’re as looked after as our vehicles are!

You'll be set in good stead, currently possessing motor vehicle qualifications and experience – however, we’ll train you on everything else 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 interestingly it’s not all garage-based work – you could well 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 £25.75 per depending on experience, 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.  

It would be desirable for you to have a Level 3 engineering qualification in heavy vehicles.

So, if you have an engineering background with a vehicular slant (truck, haulage, automotive, plant, rail, farm – if it moves, it’s good experience for working on buses) and have a passion for great work with a great team, then we can’t wait to receive your application!

Stagecoach workplace culture is one where everyone can be themselves and where all the differences our people bring to the business are celebrated. We welcome applications from all, irrespective of background, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, beliefs, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation or age.
