National Express Bus
Birmingham
At National Express, we are really proud of our health and safety record and as a result, we operate a Drugs and Alcohol Policy which is applicable to all employees.

As part of your initial assessment, we will complete Drug and Alcohol testing and you may be subject to random tests during your employment.

Are you a strategic thinker with a hands-on approach to technical excellence? National Express is looking for an Engineering Projects Manager to lead the charge on our most vital engineering initiatives.


In this role, you will bridge the gap between long term business strategy and ground level operational activity. Whether you are overseeing depot transitions, driving safety culture, or managing high level engineering programmes, you will be the key driver of efficiency and consistency across the business. If you have the vision to plan for the future and the skills to deliver results today, we want you on board.

What you will do

  • Lead Strategic Initiatives: Coordinate the delivery of engineering projects that align with our long term business goals and drive continuous improvement.
  • Drive Depot Excellence: Lead ground level implementation of initiatives across depots, including vehicle presentation, trim, and paint programmes.
  • Champion Safety: Support a robust safety culture by conducting workplace inspections, reviewing Safe Systems of Work (SSOW), and deploying safety communications.
  • Standardize Operations: Develop and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Tool Box Talk (TBT) materials to ensure consistent communication of standards.
  • Manage Assets & Transitions: Oversee engineering asset registers and provide expert support for depot closures, new setups, and relocations.
  • Develop Our People: Work with operational teams to support technician upskilling, training pathways, and technical competence frameworks.
  • Support the Director: Provide structured leadership for key engineering programmes and assist the Engineering Director with critical business case developments and bids.
What you will bring

  • Project Management Mastery: Essential skills in project management, strategic planning, and implementation.
  • Technical Expertise: Suitable engineering and technical qualifications with a deep understanding of Health & Safety in an engineering environment.
  • Leadership & Influence: Exceptional stakeholder management skills and the ability to resolve conflicts and solve complex problems.
  • Analytical Mind: Strong diagnostic and problem solving skills with an understanding of the benefits of a quality system.
  • Coaching Instinct: A desire to train, coach, and mentor others to achieve their full potential.
