Practical, careful and good at getting things done? The Bike Place in Port Kennedy is looking for a Bicycle Builder & Store Assistant to help get new bikes ready for our customers and keep the store running smoothly.

This role focuses on unboxing, assembling and preparing new bikes, with stock handling and general store support. We welcome applicants early in their working career as well as experienced applicants. You do not need to be a qualified bicycle mechanic, but you must be comfortable with tools, willing to learn and able to follow instructions accurately.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Unbox new bikes carefully, check parts and packaging, and organise your work area.

• Assemble bikes using our procedures and training, ready for an experienced team member's final safety check.

• Report missing parts, damage or anything you are unsure about before proceeding.

• Help move, display and prepare bikes for collection.

• Receive and organise stock, remove packaging and keep the workshop and store tidy.

• Assist the team and customers with general store tasks when required.

WHAT MATTERS TO US

• Mechanical aptitude and care when handling tools and products.

• A productive working pace while following every assembly and checking step.

• Reliable attendance and explicit communication about availability.

• Following instructions, applying feedback and checking your own work.

• Initiative: noticing the next task and helping without needing constant reminders.

• Confidence learning our computer systems and recording work accurately.

Bike assembly experience is an advantage. Practical hobbies,



school projects, trade experience or other hands-on work can also demonstrate your ability. Tell us what you have built, repaired or maintained. Training will be provided to suit your starting skills, and bikes require an experienced team member's final approval before customer handover.

HOURS

Casual work offering a minimum of 16 hours and up to 38 hours per week, depending on the person. Full-time employment may be available for the right candidate, either from the outset or after a period of casual employment.

Please state the days and times you can regularly work, including weekdays, weekends and any study or other work commitments.

PAY

Pay based on skills, experience and responsibilities, at or above the applicable award rate. Remuneration will be discussed individually with suitable applicants.

HOW TO APPLY — COVER LETTER REQUIRED

Submit your resume and a short cover letter written specifically for this role. Answer these points:

1. Why you want to work at The Bike Place.

2. Something you have built, repaired or maintained, the tools you used and how you checked your work.

3. Your exact regular availability and earliest start date.

4. Any bike-building, retail or stock-handling experience.

We will only progress applications that include a tailored cover letter answering these points. A generic application or resume alone will not progress. Only applicants selected for the next stage will be contacted. Take the time to show the care and effort you would bring to the job. Applications will be reviewed as they arrive.
