Engineering Director Stagecoach South – Chichester

We have a unique opportunity to join Stagecoach South as our new Engineering Director.

We are offering great rewards for the right person, including a competitive salary, company car/car allowance, 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays), company pension scheme, medical insurance, free travel on our buses and an employee discount scheme.

You will need to live within the geographical area we operate in, and if you don’t, we will help you with relocation expenses if required.

Here at Stagecoach South, we operate over 450 vehicles from 8 depots with workshops, and 3 outstations, across Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex.

This isn’t a desk job, it’s about being out and about, engaging with your teams to lead and develop them, in maintaining our vehicles, property, plant and equipment, and to support our extensive network of bus services in the region. This is a critical role within the company and some of your key responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting our safety culture and driving those key values and behaviours
  • Leading the deployment of our decarbonisation strategy
  • Setting and delivering high standards of vehicle reliability and presentation
  • Developing your depot engineering teams, so they have the knowledge and skills to deliver those reliably, with excellent presentation standards
  • Dealing with stakeholders, such as Trade Unions and Local Authority public transport teams
  • Always ensuring that we are complying with the law and appropriate regulations
  • Ensuring great day to day communication between the engineering, commercial and operational teams

You will have experience of running large scale engineering departments, ideally in a vehicle/plant multisite environment. Finally, what better place to live and work than the South Coast. This role is based in the historical city of Chichester, but you can live in surrounding areas.

If you feel you have the passion, drive and skills required, then we would love to hear from you.

For an informal discussion please contact Marc Reddy, Managing Director via email: marc.reddy@stagecoach.com or apply online at stagecoachbus.com/careers by 17 October 2024.
