About Us
Nilsbuss is a family-owned bus company operating in Småland. We operate line services, school transportation, 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 seeking a mechanic with comprehensive responsibility for our vehicles in the Vimmerby area.
About the Position
We are looking for someone with a background in mechanics who wants to take on broader responsibility for our vehicle fleet in the Vimmerby area. This role combines hands-on workshop work with planning and administration – you will manage both the wrench and the calendar.
In the workshop, you will perform maintenance, troubleshooting, and repairs – everything from chassis, bodywork, and interior to engine and drivetrain. You will also work with aftermarket systems such as Wi-Fi and payment systems. Major repairs and contractual service intervals are handled by external workshops, but you will plan and manage these.
Your Responsibilities
• Perform maintenance, servicing, and repairs on buses and other vehicles
• Troubleshoot and fix mechanical and basic electrical issues
• Plan and coordinate service and workshop visits with external providers
• Procure spare parts and consumables
• Document and monitor vehicle status
• Work with the traffic coordinator to ensure vehicles are available for all scheduled routes daily
• Maintain order and cleanliness in the workshop
• Serve as a technical resource in the area
Who Are You?
You have formal vehicle technical training 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 fluent in Swedish, both spoken and written.
As a person, you value quality, organization, and attention to detail. You are flexible, collaborative, and cost-conscious – and you want to contribute to positive workplace development.
