Drivers & Supervisors
Our drivers and supervisors are the public face of Bus Éireann, every day serving our customers, young and old, in the spirit our values. When you step into the Bus Éireann uniform, you become an ambassador for the brand.

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.
