Bike Mechanic (full-time, workshop)
Spokewell Cycles · Riverside district · $21–25 per hour, depending on experience
We are a neighbourhood bike shop that fixes about 60 bikes a week: commuter bikes, kids' bikes, e-bikes and the odd vintage racer. Our workshop is busy from March to October, and we are looking for a mechanic who enjoys solving problems and explaining them to customers in plain words.
What you will do
- Diagnose and repair bikes booked in for service: brakes, gears, wheels, bearings
- Build new bikes from the box and set them up for the rider
- Write a short, clear note on each repair ticket and tell the customer what was done
- Keep the workshop tidy and tools in order
- Help on the shop floor on busy Saturdays
What you need
- At least 1 year of hands-on bike repair, paid or volunteer
- Confidence with hydraulic disc brakes and indexing gears
- Ability to plan your day around a booking list and say early when a job will run late
Nice to have
- Experience with e-bike motors and batteries
- Wheel building
- A recognised mechanic qualification
If you meet the "need" list but not all the "nice to have", please apply anyway.
What we offer
- 38 hours a week, Tuesday to Saturday, finishing at 6 pm
- Paid training on e-bike systems in your first 3 months
- Staff price on parts and bikes, and a free yearly service for family members
- 25 days of paid leave, taken mostly in the quiet winter months
How to apply
Send a few lines about the bikes you have worked on and your availability to [email]. No cover letter needed. We reply to everyone within 5 working days and invite shortlisted people to a paid 2-hour trial shift.

About this service
A good test task shows how a candidate actually works without asking for days of unpaid effort or free work you could use. We design a task for your role that mirrors a real situation, fits in two to four hours, comes with clear instructions and a deadline, and is scored against a written guide so every candidate is judged the same way. It works for roles from marketing and sales to support, operations, design and analytics.
What is included
- What you getA test task with instructions for candidates and a scoring guide with criteria and levels, and in higher packages an outline of what a strong answer contains. You get it as text you can paste or download as a file.

- Free revisionsAsk for changes within your brief as many times as the package allows.
- Acceptance after 3 daysIf within 3 days of delivery you neither accept the work nor ask for changes, it is accepted automatically. If you write in the order chat after delivery, the order waits; once we answer, we may start the 3 days again and will say so in the chat.

Questions and answers
Is it fair to ask for a test task?
Yes, if it is short, related to the job and not something you will use. We design it that way and say so in the instructions.
Can you make tasks for developers?
Yes, as a written brief with requirements and scoring. We do not build starter code or run candidates' solutions.
Will you review candidates' answers?
No, the scoring guide lets your team do it consistently.
