What You'll Do
The bicycle mechanic is responsible for servicing and repairing returned bikes from customers. As an online retailer, bicycles are returned for a number of reasons including warranty purposes. However, we do not provide ongoing servicing of bicycles for our retail customers. Typical duties involve identifying problems, developing and proposing solutions to mechanical defects and performing repairs to facilitate the return of the bike to the customer or preparing it for resale.
Support for the return or resale process is required, including packaging and boxing the bicycle, photographing the bike and providing input as requested to repricing. The mechanic team also plays a crucial role in supporting the warranty team by providing repairs and assessing technical investigations. Collaborative efforts between the mechanic and warranty teams are necessary to gather factory assembly feedback and improve product quality. Reporting to the Warranty & Workshop Manager, responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Assemble new bicycles
Repair and rebuild bicycles
Receive and assess returned products for repair or warranty purposes
