    RETAIL ASSISTANT

    We are looking for an enthusiastic bike lover to join our team and growing business.

    Hadron Cycles is a small and ambitious business that loves all cyclists and all types of bikes. We don’t just focus on the fanatical sportif rider or the fixie hipster, we cater for all. This is our third year in business and we’ve grown quite a following; we run Sunday rides from the shop, hold maintenance courses, support local cycling initiatives and will be expanding in the near future.

    We’re recruiting for a hybrid role: Mainly a salesperson, but partly a mechanic-in-the-making. We need someone who is happy to serve customers, understand their needs and work as part of our team. Successful applicants will have also have an interest in the mechanical side of things and won’t be afraid to fix a flat, or set up a derailleur.

    The reason we get such good reviews is because of our bike knowledge and attentive customer service. We like our customers to know who their bike shop staff are when they entrust their bike with us for a service. Even our sales team have to be the kind of people who can spot mechanical issues early on and then can explain what’s to be done to resolve them. When a customer picks up their bike, the sales staff should be able to explain what has been done, with confidence.

    What we’re looking for:

    • Passionate about cycling (obviously)
    • Previous retail experience - you need to be confident talking to customers
    • Basic knowledge about bicycle mechanics. We can teach you the rest.

    What we can offer:

    • A fun environment
    • Competitive hourly rate
    • Over time if required
    • Staff discount of 20% and 30% off your first bike or frame
    • Workshop training.

    Hours: This is a full time role to cover Thu / Fri / Sat / Sun / Mon.
    Salary: To be negotiated
    To apply please send your C.V. and brief covering letter to info@hadroncycles.com

    Gabor is a nutter...I keep trying to put some brakes on that thing but he's having none of it.
    Saw that you left a couple of things for us to think about, and I appreciate the input. It's still early days and we've got a lot to learn and improve on. Stop by again soon, when I'm not out on a 120km training ride...
