Russ Hay's The Bicycle Shop has been voted one of BC's best bike shops 3 years running (Canadian Cyclist). We've got two locations, are family owned and operated and have been an LBS for over 40 years. We also enjoy about 310 days of sun every year and LOVE that we never have to shovel rain. Did we mention we have some of the best mountain, road and urban cycling on the planet? Russ Hay's is a excellent place to work and Vancouver Island is paradise. Why haven't you applied?
As the saying goes we aren't in the bike business we are in the Customer Service business. It's tough out there. Local Bike Shops have to work hard to provide an experience. You need to be a big part of that experience. Duties would include but not be limited to:
Inventory and special order management
Staff and service scheduling
Working within budgets and managing supplies and equipment
Overseeing shop building projects
Ensuring maintenance of mechanical standards
Ensuring a protected and functional work workplace
Assisting where needed with our charitable events: Bikes For Kids, Ambriss Memorial Ride, Denis Memorial Ride
Qualifications
At a minimum you need to posses the following:
Excellent organization skills and ability to multi-task
You MUST BE a bicycle mechanic
You MUST have a minimum of 5 years experience in a bicycle shop
Comfortable using all common shop tools, including power tools and tapping/threading tools
Experience placing orders and managing inventory in a bike shop
Experience working within budgets
5 years of bicycle shop experience (yup, we put that in here twice for a reason)
You need to be up to date on the latest bikes - this stuff is getting complex fast.
Fluent in bike shop talk especially road and mountain bike components and repair
