Bike Mechanic - Project One (Waterloo)
About The Position
Trek is hiring a full-time Bike Mechanic to support its Project One Factory at the company’s headquarters in Waterloo. This is a non-customer-facing role in a factory setting, focused on assembling and servicing bikes rather than working in a retail environment. Mechanics work alongside experienced colleagues to help build bikes and get more people riding. At the Trek Performance factory, the mechanic helps build customers’ custom Project One bikes and built-to-stock Trek bikes. The role requires precision in final assembly, tuning, and adjustments to ensure bikes meet Trek’s standards for speed and quality. The position may also involve troubleshooting e-bike systems and updating their software, as well as assisting wherever needed to meet team goals and deliver outstanding service. The job posting also describes opportunities at Trek’s Red Barn Refresh program in Johnson Creek, where mechanics work on refurbished bikes, including older Trek models, high-end road bikes, Rails, and Project One bikes.
