Strong response to TLC trainee programme

5 February 2019

Forty eight people have applied to be considered for The Lines Company’s 2019 intake of trainee line mechanics.

Applications for the programme opened in January and there’s been a healthy response from locals, as well as from outside the network, for the limited places on the programme according to Sue Lomas, General Manager of People & Safety.

“It is competitive and quite challenging given we’re looking for a number of things, including the right mix of attitude and aptitude.  There are face-to-face interviews, as well as practical tests that involve other members of our TLC line crews,” says Sue.

“It’s extremely pleasing that our training programme is continuing to not only attract a high level of interest, but more importantly high calibre local candidates.”

With applications now closed the selection process is well underway and expected to be completed by the end of February.
