Description

Who Are We

OCC Engineer – Operational Control Centre

Go-Ahead London

Engineering expertise. Real-time decisions. Network-wide impact.

We’re looking for an experienced bus engineer to join our Operations Control Centre (OCC) as a technical specialist supporting the live London bus network.

This is not a workshop role. You’ll be the engineering expert at the heart of operations — diagnosing faults remotely, guiding controllers and drivers, and making fast, safe decisions that keep services moving.

If you enjoy problem-solving under pressure and want to influence outcomes across the entire fleet, this role offers something genuinely different

What You’ll Be Doing

Providing real-time technical assessments of on-road breakdowns and vehicle defects
Using Geotab, Tranzaura and live data to diagnose faults and assess risk
Deciding the right response: remote reset, driver instruction, roadside attendance, recovery or vehicle swap
Acting as the engineering authority within the Control Centre, advising iBus Controllers and operational teams

Speaking directly with drivers — giving clear, calm technical guidance

Liaising with garages and roadside engineers to ensure smooth handovers

Identifying repeat faults, trends and reliability issues to support continuous improvement

Essential

What we’re looking for

Strong engineering knowledge across modern bus fleets (including hybrid and electric)
Proven diagnostic skills and confidence making decisions remotely
Experience using telematics or inspection systems (Geotab, Tranzaura or similar)
NVQ Level 3 / City & Guilds Level 3 (or equivalent)
Excellent communication skills and the ability to stay calm under pressure
Flexibility to work shifts (weekends, Bank Holidays)

Desirable

Control Centre, command or incident-response experience
PCV licence (or willingness to obtain)

Why this role?

Work at the centre of live operations, not just one garage
Use your engineering expertise to influence network-wide outcomes
Fast-paced, varied work — no two shifts are the same
A clear step into a specialist, high-trust engineering role
