Motorcycle Mechanic & Project Manager

Job Title: Motorcycle Mechanic and Project Manager
Location: Louisville, KY
Reports To: CEO/Assistant to CEO

Do you like working with motorcycles and exotic cars? Here's an exciting opportunity for you.

We're a successful and fast-growing company based in Louisville, Kentucky. Our core business is growing rapidly, undergoing a North American expansion. Since our founding, we've grown from zero to 1000 team members. We've averaged 30% growth each year over the past 12 years, winning Inc. Magazine's INC 5000 award recognizing America's fastest growing private companies seven times.


This position is part of an exciting new business unit related to accessorizing and customizing new motorcycles. This position will NOT require the technician to do internal engine work.


Job Overview:

The technician is responsible for the care, maintenance, of motorcycles and aiding in the launch of a new business unit. This position involves working independently to ensure each motorcycle is in excellent mechanical condition, ready for display or riding. The technician will be responsible for removing OEM parts and accessories, and updating them with custom parts, with a focus on high standards of workmanship and attention to detail. The position will also require you to establish and maintain relationships with vendors to source parts and accessories, and schedule work to be performed on various vehicles. You'll also have the opportunity for managing a small and growing collection of exotic cars and show cars.


This won't be a monotonous role that has you doing the same work every day. You'll do unique builds with a design esthetic that's not commonly seen widely in the marketplace. Most of the projects will be "one offs". The potential exists for additional future compensation to be tied to units sold as the project progresses. This is truly a "ground floor" opportunity for this new division of our stable, 24 year-old company.
