Keeping our fleet healthy
Our Fleet Services and Vehicle Logistics team keep our vehicles on the road. They are responsible for ensuring all vehicles, including our life-saving ambulances, are safe, efficient, and effective.
EMAS has a fleet of over 700 vehicles - emergency ambulances, fast response cars, specialised and driver training vehicles, and urgent care and patient transport vehicles.
The team also manages the supply of life-saving equipment to our frontline crews. This involves performing vital checks of medical equipment on board vehicles (such as defibrillators).
Their work ensures that our crews and drivers can reach patients quickly and safely, and can use essential life-saving equipment while on scene. They are amazing at what they do - and they have awards to prove it.
Training and development
EMAS offers a range of training and development opportunities within our Fleet Services and Vehicle Logistics Team, including apprenticeships.
All opportunities, when they are available, are advertised on our current vacancies page.
"Before working at EMAS, I was an apprentice mechanic at an independent garage. I've always liked cars and being hands-on.
There are many reasons I like working at EMAS. I get a lot of job satisfaction - my team and I help save lives by maintaining vehicles and equipment to a high standard.
We work with so many nice people - everyone is genuinely lovely."
