Casual/Part time

Mobile Mechanic

Throughout the year we always need more hands on deck.

- There are roles available for fully competent bike mechanics who are looking for extra work, part time.

- There are casual on-call roles for mechanics with the basic/fundamental mechanics, who would like event type work for the charity or race rides we provide support on.

- Some times we need a hand at the busiest imes.

Fill-in role for times when we need:

An extra set of hands on-site
Event work
An extra vehicle out on the road attending to calls during the busy times
Fill-in during staff holidays. The applicant may be based in an area of Melbourne that is too far for our crew to get to which could be an advantage.

Experience and Qualifications can vary, but you must know the basics for working on most bikes. On-job training can be provided, but a certain level will be necessary for working at events in a fast pace environment.

Being able to work efficiently under pressure, while providing great customer care and communication will, as always, be a huge plus.

Tools and stock can be provided by the business depending on the role.
