  Our customers, our colleagues and our community need you! If you love the thought of making a real difference across Perth and Blairgowrie, then read on…

  Transport is at the heart of our community – it connects people, gives access to employment and healthcare. It’s much more than simply transport.

  Our depots in Perth and Blairgowrie are growing, and we’ve got an amazing operations team who now need an Operations Manager to lead them in delivering an incredible service to our customers.

  And how will you do that we hear you ask…

  • You’ll manage and develop a team of nearly 200 drivers, supervisors and managers operating local bus services in Perth and Kinross as well as express coach services across Scotland.

  • By delivering customer focused, cost-effective operations, laying the foundations for future network growth.

  • Using your amazing interpersonal skills, you’ll build relationships both internally and externally, developing effective connections with key stakeholders, as well as engaging with the local community.

  • Working in partnership with our local engineering team, ensuring our vehicles are reliable, clean and comfortable.

  And why would you do this?

  • With the responsibility of managing a large team, you’ll continue to develop your key people management skills – and we love promoting from within so it could be a great opportunity for a long-term career within Stagecoach.

  • Your efforts will significantly contribute to providing a robust and future-proof public transport service to Perth, Blairgowrie and the surrounding area.

  • Plus, there’s bag loads of personal satisfaction from contributing ideas towards the growth of our business, and most importantly creating a fantastic environment in which to work.

  You don’t need to have worked in the transport sector – although we’re not put off if you do / have!

  What we do need is a passion for people, and proven managerial experience. You’ll be leading a large team in all operational matters, and we’ll need to see that you’re comfortable dealing with typical management scenarios.

  And strong communication skills are a must – you’ll be developing interpersonal relationships both internally and externally and will need to be able to engage with everyone.

  In return we’ll offer a starting salary of approx £50,000, a company car and a generous pension as well as a number of other fantastic benefits.
