Alexander Dennis is a global leader in the design and manufacture of double‑deck and lightweight buses. Building on 130 years of heritage, we’re leading the transition to zero‑emission mobility, with 3,000 zero‑emission buses sold to date. Alexander Dennis is a subsidiary of NFI Group, a leader in propulsion agnostic bus and coach mobility solutions. Operating in 10 countries, we’re investing in our people and our communities, with over 31,000 buses and coaches in service around the world.
POSITION SUMMARY:Alexander Dennis is seeking a Mechanical Build Support Engineer to join our Current Model Engineering team in Las Vegas. This is a highly hands‑on engineering support role that spends approximately 70–75% of the time on the production floor working directly with manufacturing teams to troubleshoot and resolve vehicle build issues. Acting as the key link between Engineering and Production, you will investigate mechanical concerns, perform root cause analysis, review engineering drawings and CAD models, and implement practical solutions that improve product quality, manufacturability, and production efficiency.
Rather than creating new designs, you will work extensively with existing drawings, specifications, bills of material, and CAD models to identify issues, validate build requirements, and support production. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, working closely with production teams, and being actively involved in vehicle builds. Build Support is also considered an excellent pathway into broader engineering opportunities within Alexander Dennis, allowing individuals to build deep product knowledge and gain exposure to future vehicle programs, including upcoming zero‑emission vehicle initiatives.
