Excited to grow your career?

We value our talented employees, and whenever possible strive to help one of our associates grow professionally before recruiting new talent to our open positions. If you think the open position you see is right for you, we encourage you to apply!

Our people make all the difference in our success. 

Duration: Temporary (several contracts with flexible duration between October 2024 and April 2025)

We are looking for motivated and dedicated individuals to join our team as Seasonal Operations Specialists (in the past known as Crew Chiefs). In this role, you will play a crucial part in ensuring the smooth operation and quality control of our equipment and processes during the fall and winter seasons. You will be working closely with our full-time Operations Specialists to manage Equipment Overhaul and Seasonal Maintenance (EOSM) tasks and winter projects. We will be hiring people in Europe to work in our Hubs and mini hubs.

This role is a great starting point for those individuals who are looking for future office or field elevated roles. This is also a great opportunity to grow professionally and get a deeper understanding of Backroads logistics.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist in managing the flow of EOSM tasks for Field Staff.

• Ensure all Field Staff complete their EOSM tasks within the scheduled timeline.

• Oversee the cleaning, counting, and loading of equipment, especially bikes, during the load process.

• Provide clear instructions and monitor quality control, checking and signing off on completed tasks.

• Assist with the overhaul and cleaning of all unit equipment and other quality tasks as needed through the winter.

• Maintain visibility and control over who is working on bikes during the off-season to ensure high-quality standards.

Timeline:

We will be hiring based on your availability and the needs of each hub. The general timeline is mid-September to March. We will prefer candidates who can commit to working a minimum of 4 weeks or more. You can attend staff rides (1 week - conditions to be determined with your Manager ) if that is what you desire and take occasional days off during EOSM. We will not be able to accept candidates who have variable availability (e.i: 2x weeks in October + 2x weeks in December). We are aiming to hire individuals that are able to stay for longer periods of time and ensure that they can finish what they started with a focus on quality and efficiency.
