£14.07 per hour.

We are looking for a Service Technician to join our Perth Depot.

· Guaranteed 45 hours minimum with overtime potentially available.

We require an Service Technician to assist in carrying out routine maintenance of our bus fleet.

Stagecoach East Scotland operates modern buses from our sites, and we are recruiting for a new position to focus on routine servicing of PCV vehicles.

Duties will include draining and replenishing oils and lubricants, changing filters, greasing transmission and steering joints as well as maintaining HVAC systems.

This is a semi-skilled position so we would welcome candidates who have previous motor industry experience but are willing to learn new tasks and embrace a fast-paced environment.

A full car driving licence is essential as candidates will be required to move buses around our site once in-house training has been completed.

Applicants should attach a full C.V. listing experience and interests.

· Great benefits including a generous company pension scheme, 34 days Annual leave, free travel for you and a companion, free financial education, and affordable loans, and finally a range of money-saving opportunities including discounts on holidays and retail, cinema outings, dental insurance, vehicle breakdown cover and hotels and attractions

· Free travel for you and a companion on our buses – so on your days off you can be off shopping without worrying about parking the car, or heading off for a day in the city or by the seaside without worrying about the cost of fuel or parking.

· Training – don't worry if you've not worked on our vehicles before (or indeed buses!) as we'll train you on everything you need to know, and you'll be supported by a great team doing a great job

· Plenty of job security from being a key worker at the heart of our communities, where we always need great people servicing our fleet of vehicles, be they Alexander Dennis, Scania, Volvo or Optare

· A safe environment – we provide boots, overalls and specialist equipment so no need to worry about being safe and protected, or having the right kit for the job

· UK-wide opportunities whereby if you're moving out of choice or circumstance, as we run bus companies across the UK, you can transfer to a new location

· Career development through developing your technical skills on future hybrid and electric vehicles, and career progression to Technician, Master Technician, Engineering Manager and beyond – a good number of our Engineering Directors started their career with us as mechanics and fitters

· Secondment opportunities to work elsewhere in the business – either on big events like Silverstone and Cheltenham Festival, or into our head office support functions

· 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. Face-to-face counselling sessions are also offered, alongside telephone and online support

· A great working environment with loads of opportunity to make new friends from a bunch of great workmates, managers who work hard to create great places to work, and employee networks building inclusive environments for women, veterans, carers, multicultural and LGBTQ+ colleagues

The recruitment process is simple – you apply with your CV, we'll have a good read then get you in for an interview and give you a tour of the depot, and that's it!

There are a few of things we need from you:

· You need to want to deliver high standards of engineering maintenance and repair

We will also provide you with all necessary PPE and specialist equipment.

If you think you've got what it takes, then we'd love to hear from you!
