Dublin Bus looking for Drivers

Lon01 · 02-07-2015 3:38pm

Hello guys.

I sent application form at 13 of June and i'm still waiting for any answer from DB.
Did someone send application in similar period and get any answer?
I should wait or maybe start looking for a different job? :]

I found it was a pretty long wait alright. It seems to depend as they do interviews in waves. I personally didn't hear anything for about a month

you should wait at least a month.
Summer period can slow down things even more.

Can anyone tells if you can park your car at the phisboro School ? It says on the letter that you can't.

If in training school and in uniform its fine but just make sure to park down near the back as at the front is bus eireann only

Ellablack · 19-07-2015 2:26pm

Thanks for that. Think I bus it first and ask if I can for the next days I'm there.

Dublin Bus have started recruiting again but this time you don't need your bus licence.

All you need is a licence to drive a car and Dublin Bus will provide full training

Well.....not just a B licence...

Hold a valid full category “B” Licence with no endorsements for minimum of two years
Have passed the Driver Theory Test for D Licence
Hold Learner “D” Permit
Have completed the Driver CPC Case Study Test

However,it is indeed a significant upward gearchange,and indicative of more announcements to follow on Transport Infrastructure ?

How did the assessment go? Where there many people at it?

kaner102006 · 27-09-2015 11:45am

The assessment went ok was easy enough just a few basic maths questions and do a 200 word report on a accident that happened on your bus. Also they had a 200 question psychometric test. I think there was about 110 people at it.

Is the pay on the site after tax? What are the hours in the evenings 4-12? or 5-1am?

kaner102006 · 27-09-2015 12:07pm

The pay is €565.95 is gross pay (4 day week inclusive of shift) Thursday to Sunday or Friday to Monday depends on depot not to sure what start and finishing times are.

punisher5112 · 27-09-2015 2:00pm

There are no set times as such late can be 2 or 3 onwards.

When on normal 5days late could still mean in at 730am and finish around same at night.

There are so many different times.

typical break on a bogie or euro could be anywhere between 1 - 5 hours normal shifts 45min up to around 1hr and half or so.

it takes a long time to get use to and adjust.

The plan is to take on and train about 100 drivers every year for the next 3 years

Wolf219 · 12-10-2015 2:53pm

Lads can anyone tell me how long Dublin Bus takes to get back to you. I applied for driving job nearly 3 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything back.

Takes a good while. It was around 6-7 weeks till I heard. Be set for a long wait...

That's a bit of a large number. Where are all these drivers going ?

Garages like summerhill, ringsend and conygham road are full to the brim with drivers.
Both donnybrooks are full too. The only place left is phibsboro and harristown and i hear they can't take much more.

I note rest days (everyday) are now a struggle to get even for drivers 10 years in the job and overtime has disappeared mostly now.

So why all the drivers ? (I ask because you seem to have more insight as this is the first I've heard this)
