A bus company is searching for the next generation of engineers.

Go-Ahead Group owned Bluestar is calling for applications to its engineering apprenticeship scheme, with the first intake set to begin in July 2026 and applications open until March 22, 2026.

Ed Wills, managing director of Bluestar, said: "We’re looking for the best of the best to join our engineering teams.

"This apprenticeship is a great opportunity for people who want to earn while they learn and develop skills that support long-term careers.

"This investment from Go-Ahead has created an excellent opportunity for people considering a career in engineering and we are committed to broadening access for under-represented groups – including women – into engineering roles."

The scheme, delivered in partnership with S&B Automative Academy, will train apprentices in mechanical and electrical systems, with a focus on zero-emission technology.

Apprentices will learn in classroom settings and on the job, while earning a wage and working toward a qualification.
