A TICKET to success – that’s the offer from bus operator Transdev, which is launching a new three-year engineering apprenticeship programme.

The bus firm says successful candidates can look forward to gaining a top engineering qualification, with above average annual earnings of around £40,000 plus overtime – while everyone who completes the programme will also gain a full PCV driving licence.

And as Transdev and the wider bus industry continue their transition to zero-emission electric buses, the operator says there’s never been a better time than now to apply – with demand for time-served engineers at an all-time high.

Transdev is to host assessment events for candidates looking to secure an engineering apprenticeship on Tuesday August 27 and Wednesday August 28, so the bus company is urging those wanting to apply to do so quickly, with details online at: transdevbus.co.uk/work-for-us/.

All successful candidates will join on a three-year programme combining in-workshop learning with college study, and at the end of the scheme they will become fully-qualified PCV engineers.
