About Mapdec Cycle Works 

Mapdec isn’t your average bike shop. We are a hybrid high-end workshop, custom build center, bike fitting studio, and active cycling media outlet. We produce regular YouTube content, offer excellent mechanics, and support a passionate local riding community. If you live and breathe road cycling, have a fine eye for detail, and want a role that extends beyond the repair stand, Mapdec is where you belong. 

The Role 

We are looking for an experienced, technical-minded Bicycle Mechanic to join our core team. You will handle everything from high-end custom builds and complex diagnostics and being involved in all aspects of the business. We specifically need a road cycling enthusiast who will ride with local clubs, partake in and travel to brand events. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Custom Builds & Quoting: Lead bespoke road and gravel builds from frame selection to perfect tyre pressure, including drafting detailed, accurate quotes for customers.
• Workshop Operations: Execute routine servicing, advanced repairs, electronic drivetrain diagnostics (Shimano Di2, SRAM AXS), hydraulic brake systems, and internal cable routing, suspension, wheel building, and ebikes. 
• Bike Fitting Integration: Assist with or learn bike fitting protocols to tailor builds precisely to rider biomechanics. 
• On-Camera Content Creation: Present your work, explain technical breakdown concepts, and host segments for the Mapdec YouTube channel and social media platforms. 
• Community Engagement: Represent Mapdec within the local cycling scene and maintain our high standards of customer interaction.

What We’re Looking For 

• Proven Industry Experience: Demonstrated experience working in a high-end bicycle workshop with expertise in modern road/gravel standards. 
• Technical Excellence: Deep technical knowledge of modern road technology (integrated cockpits, press-fit/threaded BB standards, power meters, tubeless setups).
• Camera Confidence: Comfortable presenting technical topics clearly on camera (videography skills are a bonus, but not required—we handle the production).
• Community Driven: An active participant in the local cycling scene who genuinely loves talking bikes with customers and enthusiasts. 
• Organization & Detail: Methodical approach to work, clear communication when writing up quotes, and pride in workshop cleanliness. 

Perks & Benefits 

• No Weekend Work: Enjoy your weekends riding with a fixed Monday–Friday schedule (10am–6pm). 
• Health & Wellness: Free Bupa Healthcare Insurance coverage. 
• On-Site Gym: Free membership to Strength 2 Speed, the strength & performance gym located right inside Mapdec. 
• Industry Discounts: Access to staff pricing on parts, components, and gear.
• Creative Freedom: Be part of a dynamic, content-producing team where your technical expertise directly shapes our media output.
