Drivers
Our drivers take care of the school run and the daily commute, and are there for those special journeys too. There are challenging days, it’s never 9-5, and it’s not for everyone. But when a customer says 'thanks', there’s no feeling like it. So if you love driving and believe in providing an excellent customer experience then a career in Bus Éireann could be for you.
