Job description

Prevelo Bikes is a fast growing direct to consumer premium kids' bike brand. We ship bikes to families all over the world, and we need help! We're a small company and we all work together. If you've ever been interested in working for a bicycle brand, this is a chance to work side by side with people that design, source, brand and market bicycles.

As a Bicycle Technician you will help prep and tune bikes before they are shipped to customers.

The job entails (1) adjusting brakes, headsets, derailleurs, and checking chain tension, (2) truing wheels, (3) checking the overall tightness, assembly quality, and safety of bikes, (4) installing accessories, (5) conducting final checks to make sure bikes meet our quality standards, (6) packing bikes for shipment, and (7) working with our fulfillment software to label and ship bikes.

Since we're a small team, you'll also pitch in on other shop and warehouse tasks as needed. That can include unloading shipping containers, keeping the warehouse clean and organized, and refurbishing returned or used bikes so they're ready for resale.

Qualifications

You need to be knowledgeable about bikes. Professional shop experience is great, but it's not required. Serious home mechanics who've spent real time wrenching on their own (and their friends' and family's) bikes are absolutely welcome to apply. What matters is that you understand how a bike goes together and can tell the difference between a bike that's dialed and one that isn't. Enthusiasm for bicycles is a big plus.

You must be

• Knowledgeable about bicycles and comfortable performing mechanical work, whether that experience comes from a shop or from years as a home mechanic.
• Mentally and physically capable of performing bicycle mechanical work.
• Able to safely lift and move bicycles and bicycle boxes (up to 50 lbs).
• Able to work for extended periods standing on your feet.
• At least 18 years old.
• Available every Monday from 9 AM to 5 PM.

Pay

$20 to $25 per hour, depending on experience.

Hours

Part time. Mondays 9 AM to 5 PM are required. Additional days and remaining days/hours are flexible between Tuesday to Friday 9 AM to 5 PM.
