A bus mechanic is a skilled professional who is responsible for repairing, servicing and maintaining buses. They are highly experienced and knowledgeable about the inner workings of buses, which means they are able to diagnose and fix problems with engines, transmissions, brakes, and electrical systems. Additionally, they will conduct routine preventative maintenance to ensure the bus is always running smoothly and safely. Some bus mechanics may also be responsible for managing a team of technicians, overseeing projects, and ordering parts and supplies for the garage.
