This role requires a proactive approach to problem-solving, as well as the ability to work efficiently under pressure. Whether it's performing inspections, diagnosing faults, or carrying out major component changes, you'll help ensure our passengers get a smooth and reliable journey every day.

You'll also maintain accurate records of all work completed, ensuring compliance with company and legal safety standards. Working closely with colleagues and supervisors, you'll contribute to a positive and professional workshop environment.

This role is based on a 39-hour working week, with opportunities for overtime. Both day and shift work options are available.
