Job Title: Apprentice Vehicle Builder
Location: Scarborough
Our Vision & Why It Matters
At Alexander Dennis, our vision is to lead the evolution of sustainable on-road mass transportation and mobility.
We design, deliver, and support market-leading buses and coaches that help reduce emissions, improve air quality, and keep communities connected. Every role contributes to that mission whether you’re engineering, driving sales, improving production, or supporting our customers.
What You’ll Do
As an Apprentice Vehicle Builder, you’ll learn how to manufacture buses and coaches to customer and design specifications, working as part of a supportive operations team on the production line.
You’ll develop hands‑on skills fitting and assembling components to vehicle body structures, while learning how to meet quality, safety, and build‑time standards. With guidance from experienced mentors and team leaders, you’ll gain practical experience, technical knowledge, and an understanding of how high‑quality vehicles are built in a safe and efficient environment.
This is a great opportunity to begin a long‑term career in manufacturing and engineering.
What We’re Looking For
You’ll be enthusiastic, reliable, and keen to learn, with a positive attitude toward teamwork and personal development. You’ll be comfortable following instructions, working safely, and taking pride in producing quality work.
You don’t need previous vehicle‑building experience, what matters most is your willingness to learn, work hard, and support your teammates.
Bonus if you have:
A practical interest in engineering, manufacturing, or vehicle mechanics
Experience using hand or power tools (through school, college, hobbies, or work experience)
A strong commitment to health & safety and quality standards
