If you are an experienced bike mechanic who has put together pricey road bikes for highly discerning (and kind) customers, and you are looking for part-time work this bike season, please send your resume to us. You must also be able to tune-up a faithful 7-speed Stumpjumper or 3-speed Raleigh commuter bike. You must have current bike shop or race mechanic experience with current knowledge of Campagnolo, Shimano, and SRAM bike components to be considered for these positions. That means you have put lots of Campy and Shimano 10-speed drive trains on bikes. Campy 11-speed experience isn't required. Jump to read the particulars of applying.

The mechanic positions at Wheelgirl are not "learning"
opportunities. We are not able to train you on the job. Slow and steady
can't win this particular race. We need experienced mechanics who can
spin a wrench quickly and accurately. If the service time estimates in
Barnett's is business as usual for you, make sure to apply. If you have
built over 50 wheel sets from scratch, make sure to apply. We will need
you to work weekend as well as week day hours. If you are working at
another bike shop, but have had your hours cut due to the sluggish
economy, feel free to apply. We are flexible with scheduling. And we
will allow you mainline unflavored coffee all day, every day.
When you send your resume via email, (service@wheelgirl.com) please type or cut and paste your resume directly into the email. We won't open any attachments,
so please don't attach your resume to the email (computer virus stuff,
etc.) Show me the money, you say! Your hourly wage depends on your
experience, accuracy, speed, and references. You get what you pay for,
and we are happy to pay for the skill sets we need. Please put the word
"Part-Time Mechanic" in the subject line.
Note: We will contact
you if your experience appears to be a good match for the positions.
Please do not call the shop. There are many hard workers out of work
these days. These mechanic positions, however, are only going to be
filled by those who have bike shop references. So, please do not email
your resume unless you have current bike shop or race mechanic
experience. Thanks for reading.
*Remember: We are now located at 1400 San Pablo Ave. between REI and Performance.
