As one of the UK’s leading bus manufacturing companies we employ around 500 people at our manufacturing sites in Leeds and Blackburn and in our service centres across the country.

We believe that a highly skilled and appropriately trained workforce is a key ingredient to our continued success, and we are always looking for people who have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience coupled with drive, ambition and commitment to take our business forward, in our effort to maintain our reputation as the most innovative bus manufacturer in the UK. In return we have attractive remuneration and benefits packages appropriate to each opportunity within the Company.

We also offer a comprehensive apprenticeship programme at all sites within the group, to help us develop the technical experts of the future.
