About the Role

Come and join us as a Deputy Engineering Manager at Lea Interchange garage working for a sustainable, diverse, and community-focused employer who puts its people at the heart of its business, whilst delivering contracted bus services on behalf of Transport for London.

Keeping London’s people moving and the safety and support of our people is paramount and our vision is to help people lead more sustainable lives, harnessing new and greener technology, whilst protecting our people and customers.

Would you love to be part of a professional engineering management team that maintains and repairs a modern and varied fleet of vehicles? If so, we are looking for Deputy Engineering Managers to assist the Engineering Manager in the day-to-day management of the engineering function at our Lea Interchange garage in east London. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring that our fleet of buses are maintained to the standard required by the Company, TfL, and the DVSA.

Key Responsibilities

  • Ensuring maximum vehicle availability and continually improving standards.
  • Direct influence on Health & Safety compliance/culture, fatigue management, and employee wellbeing.
  • Thorough understanding of mechanical engineering and vehicle maintenance procedures for large vehicles, preferably PCVs, as well as knowledge of electrical engineering, bodywork construction, and basic stores procedures.
  • Ability to gain a Transport CPC, if requested to do so.
  • Ability to plan, prioritize, analyze, and make decisions.
  • Up-to-date understanding of Health & Safety legislation.

About the Lea Interchange Garage

Lea Interchange garage operates a varied range of double deck and single deck buses and new mirrorless buses. It will shortly have a fleet of electric vehicles. You’ve probably seen some of our buses driving around east London and the City, transporting our fantastic customers around the area. Those customers rely on our services to get them to work, to the high street, to hospitals, to days away, and nights out – and as part of our engineering management team you’ll be key to making sure our vehicles are in tip-top condition to do just that.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
