Exciting Engineering careers

Engineers, Mechanics, and Technicians

We’re working on changing an industry here at First Bus, and as we transit our fleet to fully electric by 2035, our engineers are leading the mechanical and technical changes we’ll need for success.

That means we have some pretty amazing opportunities at all levels and in all bus and HGV maintenance and repair areas. It’s a really interesting and challenging time, and as a team, we’re on track to deliver our Zero Emission fleet with a number of our depots now fully electric, including the UKs biggest electric charging hub.

It’s a big investment and that isn’t just in buses and in new technology. We’re investing in our people too,  supporting our Engineering teams and developing our capabilities across the board. There’s never been a better time to be a First Bus Engineer, Mechanic, or Technician looking for a secure role with an industry leader. Planning for the future means we also have a successful engineering apprentice programme where we bring over 50 new apprentices every year, find out more here. 

We welcome engineers from all walks of life, and when you join us we’ll help you with:

  • Getting to know us – you’ll have lots of fellow engineers to talk to, and we can give you a buddy to help you settle in
  • Understanding our buses, routes, ticketing, shifts and rotas. We know these are important to you as well as us so we’ll work with you to see that we’re all on the same page
  • Full training in safety our way, so you can keep you, our passengers, and your colleagues safe
  • Understanding your true potential and where you want to go. You’ll have regular check in and progress checks to help you reach your true potential
