More Bus Drivers Wanted
Transport Canberra is recruiting more permanent part-time bus drivers as part of its ongoing commitment to providing a reliable bus network with more weekend bus services.
Ian McGlinn, Executive Branch Manager, Transport Canberra Bus Operations said that applicants should have excellent customer service skills, have a class (C) licence or above, and are available to work a five-day roster and a selection of weekends.
“Whether they are looking for a career change or craving a job that contributes positively to the Canberra community, we encourage them to apply,” Mr McGlinn said.
“An enthusiastic and committed workforce is important to the success of our bus network. More bus drivers in our team will help to provide more frequent and reliable services to more parts of Canberra, more often.”
An information session will be held on Wednesday 27 August 2025, at 480 Northbourne Avenue, in Dickson starting from 7 pm. Attendees can learn about the recruitment and training process, hear from current staff about what it’s like to work at Transport Canberra and ask questions.
A ‘come and try day’ is then scheduled for Saturday 30 August 2025 between 8 am to 4 pm at the Sutton Road Training Centre. Attendees can get behind of a Transport Canberra bus.
Registration for both the information session and the ‘come and try day’ is essential.
“New recruitment rounds are always an exciting time. We received 453 applications from the previous recruitment round. We hope to do the same with this round,” Mr McGlinn said.
Applications for permanent part-time bus driver positions will open from Monday 1 September 2025 and close on Sunday 28 September 2025.
