• Coordinate and manage outsourced master-tech work (e.g., valve resurfacing, bottom-end repairs).
• Maintain organized service logs and parts usage records.
Team Oversight
• Supervise and schedule the bike washing and detailing team.
• Ensure all detailing and presentation standards are met for each weekly trip.
• Provide clear direction, accountability, and support for the wash/detailing crew
Purchasing & Inventory
• Utilize company purchasing systems to order parts, tools, and consumables for the motorcycle fleet.
• Maintain inventory of critical spares and consumables.
• Coordinate purchasing and warranty claims with suppliers and vendors.
• Manage and maintain a clean, organized, and professional workshop environment.

This is a full-time, year-round salaried position, though the workload follows a distinct seasonal rhythm.
- In-season (typically spring–fall):
- Monday–Wednesday: 10–12 hour workdays focused on receiving, servicing, and preparing the fleet.
- Thursday: Longer term mechanical projects and shop clean up.
- Friday–Sunday: On call for remote mechanical support while trips are in the field.
- The pace is fast and the expectation is a “whatever it takes” mentality to turn bikes around between trips and ensure readiness for Thursday morning departures.
- Off-season (typically winter):
- Reduced pace focused on deep maintenance, rebuilds, shop organization, and fleet improvement projects.
- Support of our Baja Moto tours
This structure offers a strong work-life balance for the right candidate but can be demanding for those not comfortable with a deadline-driven, trip-based cycle.
• Automotive vehicles, vans, and trailers are not included in this role’s maintenance scope; these will be serviced by dedicated mobile mechanics.
• Advanced engine, transmission, or valve work will be outsourced to qualified service partners.
Wilderness Collective offers competitive compensation within the powersports and adventure travel industry. Salary is commensurate with experience, mechanical expertise, and leadership capability.
