Current Vacancies

Head of Compliance and Training

Job Location: East Anglia (with travel across various company sites)

The Head of Compliance & Training will lead Transport Made Simple’s compliance, training and colleague development functions, ensuring the business operates safely, legally and in line with UK transport regulations and industry standards. The role oversees Transport Managers and the Training Team, manages compliance systems, supports recruitment and staff development, and provides operational leadership cover when required. The postholder will also play a key role in helping the company achieve Earned Recognition status by 2030.

Group Engineering Director

Job Location: East Anglia (with travel across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex)

As part of the Transport Made Simple Group’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT), the Group Engineering Director will provide leadership, strategic vision and direction to the Engineering function. Supported by two regional Heads of Engineering, the postholder will be accountable for ensuring that a sufficient number of roadworthy vehicles are available for operational needs each day, and for ensuring that on the day breakdowns and incidents are responded to quickly and professionally, minimising loss of scheduled mileage at every opportunity.

The postholder will also need to be confident in overseeing the implementation of engineering-related projects across the Transport Made Simple Group, many of which will be technology, system and process related. Transport Made Simple has a medium term aspiration to achieve Earned Recognition status, and the postholder will be required to implement the engineering aspects of this.

We also undertake external engineering work for other lorry and bus / coach operators (and some members of the public via our light vehicle garage in Diss), and the postholder will be commercially accountable for this activity, with the aim of significantly increasing
commercial revenue during their first year in post.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a fast-growing, technology-led operator, where you can make a significant difference to the delivery of high quality public transport across East Anglia. With a strong engineering management team already in place, this role is more about systems, processes, technology and consistency than about getting into the finer detail of repairing buses. A wide range of candidates will be considered for this role, and direct PSV / HGV engineering experience is not a pre-requisite.
