Tyre fitter - PSV - Dundee

Ember is the UK's first all-electric coach company. We launched in October 2020 and are now running on twelve routes – including Dundee to Glasgow, Inverness to Edinburgh and Edinburgh to Fort William – with several further routes launching in the spring and summer of 2026

We’re seeking a skilled experienced tyre fitter who understands the demands of a large fleet. You need to have experience in tyre fleet management and will join the team that works across our fleet – 98 electric coaches at the moment, and growing fast. You’ll be our first specialist fitter and will be a key member of the team that we are building across Scotland. We are at advanced stages in developing new charging hubs in Livingston and Glasgow, with many more sites in the pipeline.

Ember have a specialised hydraulic tyre machine and other equipment, so the physical aspect is not the traditional back-breaking work of the past.

The ideal candidate will be experienced, energetic and confident with the passion to stay on top of the latest developments in the industry.

We’re seeking a skilled professional who understands the unique demands of large-vehicle tyres — from high-torque wear patterns to load management. If you take pride in precision work and want to be at the forefront of sustainable transport, we want to hear from you.

This is a truly unique challenge - our coaches are used more intensively than any other electric vehicles in the world. We’re looking for a problem-solver who will help to identify and resolve issues quickly, and will relish the challenge of joining a new team that will make our state of the art fleet the best-maintained in the country with the lowest downtime.
