Customer service (Filled)
This role is focused on providing an excellent experience to everyone who comes through the door. It’s an exciting environment on busy mornings when the sun is out! You’ve gotta be fast on your feet and a good on-the-spot problem solver.
Bike rental is at the heart of what we do, a major part of your role would be to sort customers out with the right bike for them and ensure that they’re well set up for their day riding around Wellington.
In between customers, there is always work tuning bikes and getting them ready for the next customers. This role will suit a bike mechanic or someone who enjoys fixing things and has worked on their own bike.
Our busiest times are weekends, so you must be happy to work some weekend hours.
This role is part time (approx 15 hours per week), but more work may be available during summer. The role will likely end at the end of April as we move into our off-season. There may be an opportunity to extend the role for someone with the right experience or diversity in skills.
For the right person, there may also be an opportunity to lead guided bike tours around the Wellington bays too- you can get paid to ride your bike!
Although bike hire is the core of what we do, we do more than that. We also offer these services:
*Bike servicing focusing on Bosch and Shimano driven eBikes
*Electric bike subscriptions for Wellington commuters
*Importing of Corratec electric bikes in NZ
*Guided Tours of Wellington
*Development of eBike GPS Trackers
What we do is centred around sustainability. Our business operations are certified Climate Positive (zero carbon) and we’re members of the Sustainable Business Network.
We’re a certified living wage employer. Currently there a 15 hours per week available with more available over summer. The role is available until at least the end of April 2023.
When applying, please describe why you’d be a good match for this role, your experience working with customers and any bike riding or bike fixing experience.
