Calling all new grads and motivated professionals looking to jump-start their career!
Are you a natural-born leader with an ambitious attitude, looking for the perfect opportunity to start your career? Sharp Bus Lines Limited is looking for a candidate to fulfill a Manager in Training position to support our divisions. We believe that good business starts with skilled and satisfied employees, and we are looking to invest in the right person to shape into a qualified and experienced manager who will advance their career as a part of the Sharp Family business.
What is a “Manager in Training”?
We are looking for an instinctive team-leader who is interested in boosting their career by gaining hands on experience with a well-established and continually growing company.

As a family company, we believe in raising up our own, so your efforts will not go unnoticed; We believe in promoting from within and giving our staff every opportunity to leverage their own unique skill sets while become dedicated representatives of Sharp Bus Lines Limited and our values.
