At Compass, our aim is to always provide a safe, efficient, reliable and friendly service to our passengers.

Fitters are an essential part of our team as they ensure that all our vehicles are in a safe and roadworthy condition.

• Engaging - with teams working well together cross-functionally.
• Motivating - no day is the same and every day is an opportunity to add value.
• Supportive and nurturing - we want our staff to do well, succeed and develop their career.
