Discover the possibilities at our Open Days!

If you're intrigued by the prospect of joining our team, our Open Day presents a unique opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations with our colleagues, gain insights into our company, and apply for exciting job openings. You may also have the opportunity to fast track your application on the day by doing an interview, driving assessment and written assessment.

At our Open Days, we're actively seeking individuals with driving licence in categories D and B to operate our buses.

We're also introducing special Open Days where you have the chance to be trained for upgrading your category B licence to D in Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway.

As part of our commitment to diversity, all of our open days are inclusive and open to everyone.

​During our Open Days, candidates will have the opportunity to complete the full recruitment process in one day, please note this is location-dependent. The process includes three key assessment stages: a Driving Assessment, a Written Assessment, and an Interview. Upon successful completion of all stages, candidates will be scheduled for a medical appointment.
