London Cycle Hire, or Santander Cycles, is the largest cycle hire scheme in the UK and regularly records over 1 million hires a month. The Scheme is available 24/7, 365 days a year. We operate more than 12,300 bikes, 2,000 eBikes and over 800 bike docking stations across London. We help Londoners get around quickly and easily in the most environmentally friendly way possible. The scheme recently expanded to Southwest London so now you can saddle up anywhere from Shepherds Bush to Canary Wharf and Wandsworth Town to Camden Town.
Job Responsibilities:
1. Carry out repairs, services, quality control, and any other bicycle maintenance tasks at our dedicated Bicycle Workshop.
2. Ensure that the correct volume of bikes are available for hire in London and are safe for all users.
3. Assist the on-street team in distributing repaired bikes and dock maintenance.
This role is vital to the success of the Cycle Hire Scheme, and we are looking for candidates that take great pride in their work and are committed to being the best ambassadors for the Cycle Hire Service. Our Bicycle Mechanics directly contribute to making the London area a greener place to live and visit and are responsible for making sure our bikes are safe for all to use, so it is important that you are able to take that responsibility seriously.
This role directly impacts the number of roadworthy bicycles that are available for service users across London.
You won’t be doing this alone either. Our team is made up of professional, friendly, and supportive teammates, including managers who began their careers with Serco as Bicycle Mechanics who now hold Team Leader, Supervisor, Operations Manager, and Contract Manager titles.
We are dedicated to the ongoing development and career progression of our Bicycle Mechanics, with outstanding training opportunities made available to you, along with the chance to undertake additional qualifications. These include, but are not limited to, Health & Safety courses, Team Leader and Management training and a supportive management team who will provide guidance and advice to ensure you achieve all that you want to with Serco.
What do I need to do the role?
To be considered for a position within our team, you should have excellent Bicycle Maintenance knowledge, or extensive working experience in this field and be willing to undertake formal training as part of your probation period should you be successful.
The ideal candidate will also be enthusiastic and dedicated, as well as trustworthy, reliable, and flexible, and have good problem resolution skills.
If you feel you meet the above criteria, then please apply today!
