Job at Stagecoach Group in Kidlington, Oxfordshire, OX5

Lead the Future of Engineering at Stagecoach West in Oxford!

Are you an experienced engineer with a passion for leading teams and driving excellence? Stagecoach West is seeking a dynamic individual to take on a pivotal role as a Fleet Engineer, spearheading a dedicated team responsible for the maintenance and repair of a diverse and modern fleet, including cutting-edge EVs and comfortable coaches. This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to shape the future of public transport in Oxford and to make a tangible difference in your community.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

  • Leadership and Development: This role offers the chance to lead and mentor a skilled engineering team, including experienced technicians and apprentices. You'll have the autonomy to develop their skills, share your technical expertise, and foster a culture of continuous learning. If you have proven people management experience, regardless of formal title, your skills will be highly valued here.
  • Impactful Work: As a key worker, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring safe and reliable transport for millions, connecting people to healthcare, employment, and their loved ones. Your work directly contributes to the vibrant life of Oxford.
  • Diverse and Evolving Fleet: You'll be working with a modern fleet of over 100 vehicles, including a significant investment in electric vehicles. This means engaging with innovative technology and contributing to a greener, more sustainable future for transport.
  • Autonomy and Responsibility: You'll be entrusted with significant autonomy over resource management, stock control, and people management, allowing you to implement your vision and drive efficiency.
  • Comprehensive Benefits Package: Stagecoach West understands the importance of work-life balance and employee well-being. Candidates can expect:
    • A generous company pension scheme.
    • 25 days of annual leave.
    • Free travel for yourself and a companion.
    • Access to free financial education and affordable loan schemes.
    • A wide range of money-saving discounts on holidays, retail, cinema, and more.
    • A confidential 24/7 employee assistance program providing support for personal and work-related challenges.
  • Career Growth and Development: Stagecoach West is committed to your professional growth. You'll benefit from a high-level training program designed to enhance your existing skills and provide pathways for career progression within the company.
  • Dynamic Work Environment: The role offers variety beyond the depot, with opportunities for on-road problem-solving. Furthermore, Stagecoach is investing heavily in its infrastructure, ensuring a stimulating and forward-thinking work environment.
  • Job Security: As a leading transport operator, Stagecoach provides excellent job security, recognizing the vital role of skilled engineers in maintaining their extensive fleet.
  • Unique Secondment Opportunities: Explore exciting possibilities with secondment opportunities, allowing you to gain experience at major events like Silverstone and Cheltenham Festival, or contribute to head office support functions.
  • Inclusive and Supportive Culture: Stagecoach prides itself on fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can be themselves and where diversity is celebrated. You'll be joining a team of great workmates and supportive managers who are dedicated to creating a positive environment.

Key Considerations for Candidates:

  • Proven Leadership Experience: While prior Fleet Engineering experience is not strictly required, demonstrable experience in managing teams, irrespective of size, is essential. Highlight your successes in leading, motivating, and developing individuals.
  • Technical Aptitude: A strong engineering background is necessary to effectively oversee the maintenance and repair of a varied fleet. A willingness to stay abreast of evolving technologies, particularly in EV maintenance, will be a significant advantage.
  • Collaborative Spirit: The ability to work seamlessly with operational teams to ensure excellent service delivery is paramount. You should possess strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Adaptability and Reliability: The job description emphasizes friendliness, flexibility, and reliability. Candidates should be able to demonstrate these qualities and a genuine pride in their work.
  • Problem-Solving Skills: Be prepared to tackle diverse challenges, from depot-based issues to on-road vehicle problems.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced engineer looking to step into a leadership role with a respected and forward-thinking organization. If you are ready to contribute to a vital service, develop your career, and be part of a supportive and inclusive team, we encourage you to apply.
