Careers at Volgren

Build what moves
Australia.

Every day, millions of Australians ride a bus built by our people. Join Australia’s largest bus manufacturer and help lead the nation’s transition to zero-emission public transport.

Why work for Volgren

For bus people, by bus people

Volgren began in 1977 because, as bus operators ourselves, we wanted to build a more reliable, more comfortable, longer-lasting vehicle. Nearly five decades on, that founding spirit still drives everything we do — now with 550+ direct local jobs, three manufacturing facilities, five service centres, and Australia’s leading zero-emission bus platform.
