Bicycle Mechanic – Part-Time, Immediate Start

A2 Bikes has a restock landing and we need an experienced mechanic to help us build and ship bikes over the next [X] weeks. If you can build a modern carbon road or tri bike from a frameset to ride-ready and you want some immediate hours, read on.

About A2
We’re a small direct-to-consumer brand in Tigard, OR making carbon fiber triathlon and road bikes. We sell two lines, the SP (triathlon) and the Rogue (road/all-road), straight to riders at a2bikes.com. Every bike gets built, tuned, and packed here before it ships. No retail floor, no walk-in repairs. Just builds.

What you’ll do

• Build SP and Rogue bikes from frame and components to ride-ready, to spec and torque
• Set up SRAM AXS and Shimano Di2 drivetrains, including firmware and shift tuning
• Bleed and set up hydraulic disc brakes
• Route internal cables and hoses through aero frames and integrated cockpits
• Final QC: wheel true, headset and BB check, shift and brake check, bolt torque sign-off
• Pack bikes for shipping so they arrive the way they left

What we need

• 2+ years in a professional shop, or equivalent experience building high-end road/tri bikes
• Hands-on experience with electronic shifting (SRAM AXS or Shimano Di2) and hydraulic disc brakes
• Comfortable working on carbon frames with a torque wrench and carbon paste
• Can work independently off a build sheet without someone checking every step

Nice to have

• Triathlon or TT bike experience (base bars, extensions, integrated front ends)
• Park Tool, UBI, or similar certification
• You ride road or tri and know what a good build feels like

The honest part
This is a part-time, temporary role to get us through this production batch. It is not a path to a full-time job and I don’t want to pretend otherwise. What it is: 5-30 hours a week, flexible scheduling, a small clean shop, and good pay for good work.

Pay: $[24]–$[30]/hr depending on experience
Location: Tigard, OR (on-site)
Start: Immediately

To apply: Email [[email protected]] with a short note on your experience and the bikes you’ve built. A resume helps but a few sentences about your last three builds help more.
