Job Description

We are currently recruiting for:

Position: Service Lead Location: Sheffield Job Type: Full Time, Permanent

What you’ll do

As Service Lead, you’ll be the operations lead for your store’s Service Centre—and you’ll be the one who’s ultimately accountable for all decisions relating to workflow, staffing of mechanics, and KPIs to ensure every customer has the best experience.

You’ll be the primary service advisor at the shop, integrating the sales and service experience, while holding your team accountable for delivering Trek’s signature hospitality. That means you’ll need to be a great communicator and leader who knows how to get the best out of your colleagues.

You’ll train your team, engage with customers to recommend the right service at the right time, manage and control service costs, keep service orders organized, ensure a clean and efficient department, and take an active lead in ensuring the right bikes are built and delivered to the sales floor and your customers. Excellent communication skills are a must, as you will manage all communication from the Service Department to customers and write more than 50% of the work orders for the shop.

This role is right for someone with high energy and a constant learning engine who can see the forest and the trees. You’ll be challenged to develop your employees, find efficiencies by reviewing service reports, and anticipate your shop’s needs so both the service and sales teams are set up for success.

What you’ll bring to the team:

• A positive, pitch-right-in attitude and motivation to help every customer find what they need.

• Fantastic hospitality—a warm, approachable manner, great listening skills, and a drive to help in any way you can—even on the toughest, busiest days.

• Great leadership skills and the ability to motivate and develop future leaders.

• Ability to plan effectively and stay a step ahead of your shop’s needs.

• 3+ years of bicycle Service Centre experience

• A commitment to delivering the best possible experience for every customer.

• Proactive approach to staying up to date on industry changes and trends.
