Job Description
Trek is looking for seasoned bikes mechanics to support either our Project One Factory at our HQ in Waterloo or our Red Barn Refresh program at our Distribution Center in Johnson Creek. These are full-time bicycle mechanic opportunities that are not customer facing and not in a retail environment. Instead, you will be wrenching on bikes full time with some of the best mechanics in the country while helping to get more people on bikes every day!
At the Trek Performance factory, we build the customers’ dream bikes that inspire adventure, freedom, and the sheer joy of the ride. You'll play a key role in ensuring every bike meets our high standards for speed and quality. We’re all about precision – you’ll be responsible for assembling, tuning, and adjusting bikes with flawless accuracy. In the role, you will have the opportunity to work on both Project One custom bikes and built-to-stock Trek bikes.
At Red Barn, we build refurbished bikes that inspire adventure, freedom, and the sheer joy of the ride. You will not only have the opportunity to work on older model Trek bikes, but you will also get to build high-end road bikes, Rails, and Project One bikes.
What you’ll bring to the team:
- 2 years of hands-on experience assembling a wide range of bikes—from kids' bikes to top-of-the-line mountain, road, and e-bikes.
- A self-starter mentality with a passion for teamwork and a positive attitude that lifts up those around you.
- A dedication to delivering awesome hospitality—listening, caring, and always being ready to help, no matter how busy the day gets.
- An eye for detail and a love for finding solutions—whether it’s troubleshooting or fine-tuning a bike until it's perfect.
- A hunger to keep learning, growing your skills, and staying up to date on the latest technologies and service techniques.
- Bike shop or bike assembly experience
Areas you'll own:
- Completing the final assembly, tuning, and adjustment of a full spectrum of bikes.
- Troubleshooting and updating e-bike systems and software.
- Stepping in wherever needed to help us meet our goals and deliver outstanding service.
