I'm Bob. I own Bob's Bikes in Albany, and the workshop's grown to the point where it needs a second experienced set of hands on the bench.

I'm not looking for an offsider to pass tools — I want a Bicycle Mechanic who can take ownership of their own work, talk to customers without me needing to check in, and do the job right the first time. We'll be working side by side every day, so the person matters as much as the CV.

You need to be a rider — ideally MTB or BMX, because that's our thing. Albany has great trails and a solid riding community.

What the job is

This is a full workshop role. You'll be across everything that comes through the door:

Workshop and Mechanical

General servicing — hubs, headsets, bottom bracket rebuilds, drivetrain tuning and replacements

Suspension pivot bearing replacement

Suspension servicing — fork and shock

Wheel building and repairs

Hydraulic brake servicing

Tubeless setups and repairs

Diagnostics across all types of bikes

E-bike servicing, diagnostics and firmware updating

Ride wrap frame protection installations

Bicycle assembly

Customer-Facing

Quoting and costing jobs before work starts

Keeping customers informed throughout the job

Parts and accessory recommendations

Service schedule advice — helping customers look after their bikes properly

Some day-to-day customer service — but this is fundamentally a workshop role

Running the Workshop

Sourcing parts for repair jobs

Keeping accurate job records

Parts inventory management

Managing bookings and your own time

Working independently and as part of a small team

Training junior staff when needed

What I need from you

To be straight with you — this isn't a role for someone still finding their feet. I need someone I can trust on the tools from day one.

Solid, proven experience across everything listed above

Confident working across different brands, groupsets and bike types

Good with customers — honest, helpful and easy to talk to

On top of the admin side — records, parts, bookings

Self-motivated. You know what needs doing and you get it done

Easy to work with. We're side by side all day, every day

You ride MTB or BMX — that matters to us

What You Get

70,000 per annum, plus 12% super

Tuesday to Saturday roster — Mondays and Sundays off every week

Staff pricing on parts and gear

A busy workshop with a good reputation

A straightforward workplace — no politics, just bikes

About Albany

Albany is a genuinely great place to live. World class mountain bike trails, surf, decent fishing and a pace of life that's hard to find in the city. Housing is affordable, the community is tight and you're never far from somewhere worth riding.

If you've been thinking about leaving the city, this is a solid reason to do it.

Probation

There's a 3-month probation period. I think that's fair on both sides — gives us time to make sure it works, and gives you time to decide if Albany and the role are right for you.

How to Apply

Send me an email. Tell me about your experience, where you've worked, what you ride and why this job is for you. Keep it straightforward — I'll read it and get back to you if it looks like a good fit.

I'm reviewing applications as they come in.
