FOLT, part of Smart Mobility Innovations B.V. in Leusden, is immediately looking for a mechanic.

• Type of employment: Full-time (40 hours) or Part-time (32 hours)
• Salary: € 2,350 gross per month (including holiday pay and pension accrual) based on 40 hours

We are FOLT and we make electric folding bikes under our own brand. Do you find it interesting to be part of a small innovative team that takes a company from start-up to scale-up in the world of electric mobility? Then working at FOLT is something for you.

At FOLT we assemble three models of electric folding bikes. An electric bike consists of hundreds of parts that all need to be assembled in a certain way in order to be able to cycle eventually. We do this from our workshop in Leusden.

As a mechanic, you will support our small team in the workshop with the assembly of electric bikes and the sorting of stocks. In addition, you help with adjusting and repairing customer bikes if necessary. If you have a driving license, you can also drive routes through the Netherlands and Belgium for service and delivery. Occasionally you may also help receive customers who come to pick up their bike, and guide them during test rides.

Tasks

The tasks include:

• Assembly of electric folding bikes
• Possibly guiding test rides and delivering bikes to customers
• Possibly also delivery to customers if you have a driving license

Job requirements

We are primarily looking for motivated individuals who know how to tackle tasks. Technical aptitude or interest is desirable but not necessary.

• Technical interest or aptitude
• Experience is an advantage but not necessarily required
• Education can vary

What does a day at FOLT look like?

We start around 09:00 with a cup of coffee or tea and go through the planning for that day. Are there test riders? How many? Are customers picking up their new bike? Do we have enough in stock, does the ordered configuration match the bikes that are ready? We also discuss new orders and any peculiarities in the supply of parts.

Throughout the day, assembly, customer guidance and bike delivery will alternate. Actually, no day is the same. In the afternoon we provide a nice lunch and if the weather and time permit a walk. Then a phone call comes in, a customer would like to have his bikes delivered. You load a couple of bikes into our company van and deliver them to the customer. Around 5 pm in the afternoon we check whether the planning for the next day is still realistic and we sweep the floor. Time to go.

Schedule

• Mon-Fri
• 09:00 – 17:00
• Weekend availability is a plus (of course against payment)

Secondary employment conditions

• Lunch discount
• Friday afternoon drinks
