Managing daily operations including resource planning, stock control, procurement, and supplier relationships
Coaching, developing, and empowering team members, helping them grow their technical capability and career progression
Using data, performance insights, and engineering best practice to drive continuous improvement
Working closely with the Engineering Director and contributing to regional projects, fleet strategy, and long‑term planning
Maintaining engineering quality in line with DVSA regulations and Stagecoach engineering standards

What we’re looking for

Engineering experience in sectors such as bus, coach, HGV, rail, plant, or automotive
A strong people leader, whether already a manager or ready to step up into your first depot leadership role
A proactive, organised, and safety‑first mindset
Experience with compliance, budgets, audits, and health & safety
A passion for reliability, operational excellence, and high presentation standards
