Would you love to be part of a professional Engineering Team that maintains and repairs one of the most modern fleets in the UK?
How about doing it in one of the most scenic places in the UK?
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!
Stagecoach Highlands operates 150 vehicles over 6 sites and our Portree team are looking for people from a background in vehicle mechanical 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 modern fleet.
Our Portree depot operates a small range of vehicles from Merc Sprinters up to Volvo B8 Evoras and Volvo coaches for our CityLink operation, and we invest millions in new buses so you'll have some state of the art machines to work on!
You've probably seen some of our vehicles driving around the Isle of Skye, transporting our fantastic customers across the island and beyond every year.
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 looked after as well as our vehicles are!
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 Mechanics, Electricians, Technicians and Engineering Managers who all pull together to do a brilliant job.
And interestingly it's not all depot-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.
Responsibilities
Be part of the Engineering Team ensuring vehicles are maintained and repaired to keep our services running safely and reliably.

Full training provided; ability to work as part of a team of Mechanics, Electricians, Technicians and Engineering Managers.
