Intercity Bus and Coach Driver

1 week ago

Aberdeen, Aberdeen City, United Kingdom Ember Full time £31,200 - £34,112 per year
Job description


Various start dates available.

Ember is the UK's first fully-electric, zero-emission coach company. We launched in October 2020 and are now running multiple routes from Aberdeen to Edinburgh and Dundee to Glasgow. In 2024, we opened our brand new facility at Bridge of Don supporting our Aberdeen to Edinburgh service and we will be looking at more opportunities for future routes.

We're looking for the very best and most eager drivers across Scotland to join the Ember team. Whether you have a passion for electric vehicles or simply for great customer service, we'd love to hear from you. We'll be growing a pioneering team in Aberdeen around this first set of driver hires, and it's really important to us that we find people who are truly motivated to be a key part of a company that is proving that things can be done differently.

We're a fast growing company with a track record of success, so this is an exciting time to join the future of public transport

Responsibilities

As a driver, you're on the front-line. Not only will you be responsible for keeping the coach moving, you'll be the main point of contact for customers if they have any issues or need help.

You should enjoy working with people and take pride in doing what it takes to deliver a great experience (as well as driving of course). That might mean helping someone with their bags, keeping the coach spick and span or making an effort to say a cheery 'hello' when people board.

We've built lots of new technology to help ensure customers get the best experience possible. That means you'll need to be open to learning new systems and using them in the correct way.

As a small business, we put a lot of trust into our drivers. We expect you to take pride in the work that you do and this will involve light cleaning duties throughout the day to keep our coaches in top condition. We are also evolving fast, so love people that want to give input into how we can do things better and who do this in a thoughtful, constructive way.

Benefits

  • £15.00 per hour starting rate with a guaranteed 40 hours of work per week (£31,200 pa), overtime is likely on top of this.

  • £15.80 per hour after one year (£32,864 pa). We reward those who want to make a long term career.

  • £16.40 per hour if you become an Ember Ambassador (£34,112 pa) - those who really live our values and give the best passenger experience.

  • Relief contracts are also available - £16.81 per hour (£15.00 base rate plus additional pay in lieu of holiday)

  • Overtime rates starting at £18.00 per hour.

  • Free CPC renewal for full time and part time drivers

  • 28 days paid annual holiday pro rata

  • Flexible annual leave - request your own holiday dates rather than being assigned them

  • Up to 10 days unpaid annual leave pro rata

  • 20 days paid leave for sickness, jury duty, parental or other unplanned leave pro rata

  • Established progression paths at a fast-growing company

  • Referral scheme - get paid for referring other top drivers to us

  • Friendly culture

  • You'll be driving a state-of-the-art electric coach

  • You'll contribute to a hugely positive environmental impact, with every journey reducing emissions and traffic

Hours

We're running a 24/7 service, seven days per week, so you'll need to be able to rotate between a wide variety of shifts. We'll try to make these as sociable as possible and we'll give you five weeks' notice of what the rota looks like so you have plenty of time to plan. We also frequently have overtime opportunities available at shorter notice.
