School Bus Mechanic Resume

School bus mechanics are responsible for the maintenance of diesel and petrol buses. Since continuous use of buses leads to wear and tear, it is the responsibility of the mechanics to ensure safety of the children. They have to drive and inspect the buses for identifying any parts in need of repair or replacement. The mechanics also have to ensure that the brake lever and the gears are working properly. Daily tasks include checking rotating tires and checking air pressure, replacing headlights, calibrating engine, and checking engine oil.
