Ember is the UK's first all-electric coach company. We launched in October 2020 and are now running on seventeen routes – including Dundee to Glasgow, Inverness to Edinburgh and Aberdeen to Perth – with several further routes launching in 2026. We are at advanced stages in developing new charging hubs in Livingston and Glasgow, with many more sites in the pipeline.
We are looking for a reliable and motivated Bus Cleaning Technician to join our electric bus maintenance and support teams. This is a hands-on role suited to someone with a true eye for detail, and a desire to join a friendly, professional and fast-paced team.
The ideal candidate will be experienced, energetic and confident with the passion to be the best at what they do. This will be a Livingston-based role and we’ll make sure that you’re set up for success, with all necessary training, access to the right vehicle and all of the relevant tools and equipment.
This is a truly unique challenge - our coaches are used more intensively than any other electric vehicles in the world, so the answer won’t always be ‘this is how everyone else does it.’ We’re building the best approach from scratch.
We’re looking for a problem-solver who will help to identify and resolve issues quickly, and will be a key player in making our state of the art fleet the best-presented in the country.
If you're practical by nature, take pride in your work, and want to build a career in the growing world of electric vehicle cleaning and preparation, this could be the perfect opportunity.
Responsibilities
As a Bus Cleaning Technician, you're on the front-line. Not only will you be part of the team that’s responsible for the daily cleaning of the most modern coaches on the road, you'll also have an eye for spotting and reporting repeat issues that we can solve more effectively.
For the right candidate, we can also provide training and progression opportunities, working towards the relevant licence to move the vehicles around and to be trained on external bus washing. We’ll also give you a good understanding not just of the appearance of the vehicle, but also the important systems that power our growth and ensure the best possible customer experience.
We use technology heavily in the business, primarily building our own software systems. You'll need to be tech-savvy, open to learning new systems and comfortable using a phone or a tablet to track your progress,
