London Sovereign is a key part of RATP Dev London and operates 15 bus routes on behalf of Transport for London in the North West London area. We recently won a new route which has created a need to expand our Engineering department so we can continue to deliver a bus service that we are proud of.
As an Engineer your main responsibility will be to provide a full range of repair, maintenance and servicing activities for all vehicles in line with the company and legislative standards and requirements. This is a fantastic opportunity for skilled and experienced heavy vehicle engineers who have an interest in continuous improvement and setting standards that others will follow.
Your verbal and written communication skills are just as important to us as your technical skills. Proficient IT skills are essential combined with the ability to use or quickly learn to use any databases or manufacturer diagnostics systems. You will build relationships with the garage's drivers and service controllers to help ensure a smooth running service. Your ability to work successfully with your own initiative and as part of team will be what makes you stand out. You will also be recognised for your ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines without compromising the quality of the work carried out.
An NVQ level 3 (or equivalent) in a relevant subject such as heavy vehicle engineering is essential combined with health and safety knowledge.You will also hold a driver's/PCV licence. Experience of working as an Engineer in the bus industry will give you an added advantage.
