About Us

We are a small, friendly team of riders and mechanics who enjoy what we do and take pride in providing reliable, high-quality service to our local cycling community. 

The Roles 

We are looking for an experienced mechanic to join our workshop full-time. We are currently recruiting for two levels of the role: Experienced Mechanic and Head Mechanic. 

Both positions are hands-on and workshop-focused, with the key difference being the level of responsibility within the workshop.

The Head Mechanic role is suited to an experienced mechanic who is ready to take on greater responsibility within the workshop.

• Assist with workshop organisation and stock control 
• Occasionally assist customers with bike and accessory sales 
• Maintain a safe and professional working environment 
• Head Mechanic: support the workshop team and help oversee day-to-day workshop operations 

About You 

• Minimum 5 years of bicycle workshop experience 
• Confident working on all common types of bicycles 
• Strong mechanical knowledge and attention to detail 
• Good communication and teamwork skills 
• Able to work independently and manage your own workload 
• Reliable, organised and comfortable working in a busy workshop 
• Cytech Level 2 or 3 qualification preferred, but not essential

What We Offer 

• Full-time position — 40 hours per week
