You are friendly and a good listener. Being out-going is a plus.
You WILL read a lot about bicycle mechanics! You will have reading assignments and expected to report what you have learned. After your apprenticeship you will move to Journeyman status and have a full time, year round position. This is a career position and the candidate be responsible for their own continuing education and advancement, but you will be assigned reading and homework! However, the main drive must come from your own desire to learn bike mechanics through study and reading. We have an extensive professional library at the shop for you to select books from.
Testing, lots of reading, study and peer review will be included in your regimen. Three month reviews will test your resolve and knowledge. After 2 year apprenticeship is completed you will become a Journeyman Mechanic and after 5 years Master Mechanic status will be earned. Higher pay will accompany your advancement. Experienced Professional Bicycle Mechanics earn $25 to $30 per hour or more!
Responsibilities will include but are not limited to: customer service, general bike repair, house keeping duties, opening and closing procedures. We expect all employees to be an environmental steward. You must ride your bike to work at least 3 days a week.
