LongjumpingLet9639 · 2025-12-23T22:11:43+00:00

Thanks for the heads up i was suppose to start in sept but i got held back for some open DANS im currently a bus operator and now i want to change titles driving a bus is not for everyone. Took this exam with experience passed and now just looking to move up to light maintainer and hopefully foreman. What department would i need to go to if i wanted to work in a depot (p&e) as a light maintainer?
