Vehicle Manager / Mechanic

About Us

Nilsbuss is a family-owned bus company operating in Småland. We run scheduled routes, school transport, local transit, and charter services with a fleet that includes buses and other vehicles from brands such as Mercedes, Setra, Ford, Neoplan, and more. We are now looking for a mechanic with overall responsibility for our vehicles in the Vimmerby area.

About the Position

We are seeking you who are a mechanic at heart and want to take on broader responsibility for our vehicle fleet in the Vimmerby area. The role combines practical workshop tasks with planning and administration – you handle both the wrench and the calendar.

In the workshop, you perform maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs – everything from chassis, bodywork, and interior to engine and drivetrain. You also work with aftermarket systems such as Wi-Fi and payment systems. Major repairs and contract-based service intervals are handled by external workshops, but you plan and administer these.

Your Responsibilities

• Perform maintenance, servicing, and repairs on buses and other vehicles

• Troubleshoot and fix mechanical and basic electrical issues

• Plan and administer maintenance and workshop visits with external suppliers

• Purchase spare parts and consumables

• Document and track vehicle status

• In consultation with traffic managers, ensure vehicles are available for all daily routes

• Be responsible for tidiness and organization in the workshop

• Act as a technical resource person in the area

Who Are You?

You have vehicle technical education and work experience as a mechanic, preferably with heavy vehicles. You are comfortable with basic vehicle electronics and have good computer skills – experience with diagnostic equipment and work order management is a plus. You are proficient in Swedish in both speech and writing.

As a person, you value quality, order, and precision. You are flexible, cooperative, and cost-conscious – and you want to contribute to a positive development in the workplace.
