Bus Operator Positions
State Transit is the largest bus transport provider in Australia and offers fantastic opportunities to forge ahead in a modern and secure work environment. Getting on board at the driver level is an excellent grounding for a long and successful career.
Paid training is provided right from day one. Bus Operators are employed on a traineeship program leading to the award of Certificate III in Transport & Distribution. Once the traineeship is completed there are many and varied opportunities awaiting you.
State Transit provides extensive paid in-house training programs to prepare employees for future promotional opportunities and for implementation of new technology. Promotional opportunities exist in a diverse range of areas such as rostering, scheduling, service planning, depot operations management, customer service, finance and administration, Bus Operator training and safety and accident prevention.
Bus Operators who have completed their traineeship are also eligible to apply for an adult apprenticeship in Heavy Vehicle Mechanics or Vehicle Building; or Study Assistance for external tertiary studies related to future promotional opportunities.
Bus driving is one job that cannot be taken “off shore”. So with the backing of the NSW Government, you not only have a job for life, you will have a career path limited only by your drive and ambition.
"What started off as a job has turned out to be a career. State Transit provided me with opportunities to be trained and developed so that I could pursue different roles within the organisation."
