Having some time off to celebrate his 40th anniversary at Transdev, he said there were so many varied roles in the business that he never got a chance to get bored.
After starting with Cumberland Coaches in Lakemba, he became an apprentice mechanic at Transdev but now works on the management side.
Paul said he didn’t miss the hands-on role since as a classic car enthusiast, he still spends his weekends working on motors.
“I’ve never really thought about leaving since Transdev is a really good company to work for,” he said.
“I’m certainly proud to have reached the 40-year milestone.”
His adaptability, passion and community spirit are evident in his journey – and he has encouraged others get on board.
In 1983, he was photographed working on the pride of the fleet, a 1974 Leyland Leopard; in 2021, he was integral in the rollout of Zero Emissions Bus into the Transdev fleet; and he then expanded into facilities management and now oversees a fleet of 400 buses.
Transdev NSW Managing Director Rob Macey said they were proud to honour Paul for his exceptional commitment and support to the community.
“Paul’s inspirational journey reflects his strong connection to the South West Sydney community,” Mr Macey said.
“He’s only ever had one job interview, but his dedication has been unwavering.
“He exemplifies the core values and spirit of Transdev NSW. His dedication, expertise and commitment to excellence have made him an integral part of our team.”
NSW Transport and Transdev are recruiting drivers and mechanics.
