Vacancy – Fueller Cleaner Shunter, Late Shift

Cheltenham Depot

Shift: Full time (39 hours), 5 over 7 days including weekend and bank holiday working. Late shift.

What we’re looking for...
We are looking for someone reliable and self-motivated to join the late team at Cheltenham Depot as a Bus Fueller Shunter Cleaner. The Engineering team is responsible for keeping our bus operation running smoothly, 24 hours a day, from vehicle servicing to fuelling and cleaning.

What will I be doing?

  • Fuelling, cleaning and parking buses ready for the following day
  • Deep cleaning buses, including chassis and steam cleaning
  • Garage duties such as cleaning and sweeping our workshop and work bays, cleaning and painting wheels, and collecting bus parts from one of our other local depots
  • Yard maintenance duties such as litter picking, weeding and painting
  • Depending on your experience and abilities you could be asked to carry out further basic site maintenance tasks

What do you need to apply?

  • You will hold a full current car driving license
  • Right to Work in the UK
  • A willingness to learn and be part of a small but crucial team
  • Be able to work both as a team and independently when required
  • Experience operating larger vehicles or equipment would be advantageous

What we can offer...

  • Great benefits including a generous company pension scheme, 30 days holiday, 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
  • 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 – many of our skilled engineers started their journey with us in shunter or cleaner roles. We run specific training & development programmes to cater for this progression, if you’ve got the ambition
  • 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

Stagecoach is proudly an inclusive employer, striving for a culture where everyone can be themselves and where all the differences people bring are truly appreciated. We welcome applications from all, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, race, religion, beliefs, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, or age.
