Commercial Tyre Fitter – Bus Garages | Milton Keynes, Luton, Hemel Hempstead, Heathrow

£28,500 + bonus + great benefits
37.5 hours per week | Monday–Friday | No weekends, no call-outs, no roadside work

A hands-on role with real independence — your own van, steady hours, and a better work–life balance.

We’re looking for someone practical, reliable and self‑motivated to look after the tyres across our customer’s bus depots in and around Milton Keynes, Luton, Hemel Hempstead & Heathrow. You’ll typically be responsible for your own garages, planning your day, managing your own workload, and making sure buses are safe, road-ready and compliant.

Whether you’re experienced in tyre fitting or looking to learn a new trade, this role offers stability, structure, and a shorter working week than many similar jobs in the industry.

⭐ Why this role stands out

• 37.5-hour week — shorter than many tyre-fitting roles, giving you better work–life balance.

• No weekend work, no call-outs, no roadside jobs — all work is depot-based.

• Your own company van — for travel between garages and for your commute.

• Training provided if you’re new to tyre fitting, or a better routine if you already have experience.

• Independence — trusted to manage your own time and customers.

What you’ll be doing

• Servicing, fitting, maintaining, and inspecting tyres across bus fleets.

• Managing your bus garages, planning your routes and workload independently.

• Working a 37.5-hour week, usually starting around 5–6am with some flexibility, to carry out essential maintenance while buses are in the depot.

• Around three times per month, completing essential night-time fleet inspections, usually starting around midnight/1am, so vehicles can be checked while they’re off the road.

• Recording job details and updating our internal system (training provided).

• Building strong, positive relationships with depot teams and representing Michelin professionally.

What we’re looking for

• Ideally based near Hemel Hempstead.

• A full UK driving licence held for at least 2 years (insurance requirement).

• The right to work in the UK (this role isn’t eligible for sponsorship).

• Someone organised, reliable and comfortable working independently.

• Basic IT confidence — enough to complete job sheets and track stock (we’ll train you).

• Willingness to work early mornings and the occasional night shift, as these are essential to the role.

⭐ What you’ll get in return

• Health cash plan

• 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays (increasing after 2 years)

• Option to buy/sell additional holidays

• Free premium tyres for your own vehicle

• Salary sacrifice pension scheme with generous employer contributions

• Enhanced maternity/paternity leave

• Free digital GP, mental health support, nutrition consultations & annual health check

• Employee Assistance Programme

• Access to Michelin’s in‑house training centre to help you develop your skills and career
