Title: Hiring full time BMX Mechanic Canada
Post by: transition_chris on November 24, 2014, 01:31:04 PM
Hey Fellas -

Our shop is hiring a full time BMX mechanic in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It's a great job where you'll be a huge part of a BMX only shop and a major part of the BMX community.

If anyone on here is looking, or knows someone who might be interested, check out the posting on our website and hit me up directly with any questions.

We are still in the market for the right person, and are looking for someone to start in Jan or Feb in order to be ready for Spring.

If you know someone looking for a great job, doing what they love, spread the word!

You probably could. You would probably get a work visa for Canada.

I wanna go. I'm guessing the mechanic wage in Canada is about the same level as the UK sadly.

You are working in the oil capital of Canada so the wages are inflated. You would most likely start at $16 if not more an hour if you are experienced enough. Really good job with great owners.

We started interviews this week and are looking to hire for the end of the month.

If any one out there is still interested let us know.

We are still on the hunt for a mechanic.

If you've got shop experience and are interested in a new challenge, with good pay and benefits and a chance to contribute to Canadian BMX in a major way, give us a shout!

Not necessarily. I'm working in the Edmonton office of my company currently, and I'm making more than the guys who are working out of the Edmonton office. I'm from Ontario.

Nothing you said there made sense but I guarentee if you are qualified enough this is most likely the highest paying BMX mechanic job in Canada. Speaking from experience.

You're right. Our rate of pay and benefits are very competitive and we are looking for someone experienced.

If you're out there and interested in this position we are still looking for the right person.

If you are looking to be a major part of a small, BMX only shop with deep roots in the Canadian BMX industry, get in touch!

Holy shit, it's been like 5 months. Are you guys looking for the one dude in the universe that has memorized the torque specs for everything or what? In all seriousness though, it kind of blows my mind that you guys are looking for a F/T BMX mechanic, but it would take quite a bit to get me to leave my current job.

We're just looking for a good mechanic, with at least 2 years of actual bike shop experience. A lot of people apply, but very few have actual experience. We have staff that are very good at working on bikes, so it hasn't been a rush to fill the position - still we are looking for someone who wants to take on the mechanic's role full time.
