About Scootery: Scootery Melbourne is a specialist motorcycle and scooter workshop based in Melbourne. Alongside servicing customer-owned bikes, we maintain our own rental fleet, so the workshop runs at a steady pace and the work is varied. We're a small, hands-on team that takes pride in safe, high-quality workmanship.
The Role We're looking for a qualified, experienced Motorcycle Mechanic to join our workshop on a full-time basis. You'll diagnose, service, repair and road-test motorcycles and scooters — working primarily on Japanese brands — and help keep our rental fleet in top condition.
Key Duties and Responsibilities :
- Listening to engines, discussing motorcycle behaviour with customers, reading manufacturers' specifications and using diagnostic equipment to determine the nature and extent of mechanical or electrical malfunctions.
- Inspecting, dismantling, repairing, replacing and reassembling engines, transmissions, braking systems, steering and suspension components, and electrical and fuel systems, using hand tools, machine tools and workshop equipment.
- Carrying out scheduled servicing and routine maintenance on motorcycles and scooters according to manufacturer specifications.
- Diagnosing and repairing electrical faults, including wiring, ignition, charging and lighting systems.
- Reassembling, testing and adjusting parts and motorcycles to ensure correct operation.
- Conducting road tests and final inspections to confirm motorcycles are operating safely and efficiently.
- Performing safety inspections and quality control checks to ensure roadworthiness and compliance with workshop standards.
- Preparing and maintaining rental fleet motorcycles to a high standard of presentation and reliability.
- Completing accurate service records, job cards, and reporting any further mechanical issues identified.
- Maintaining workshop cleanliness, tools, equipment and safe work practices in line with WHS requirements.
Skills and Experience Required
- A relevant qualification in motorcycle mechanics or a recognised overseas equivalent.
- Demonstrated hands-on experience servicing and repairing motorcycles and scooters, with a strong focus on Japanese brands (e.g. Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki).
- Proven ability to diagnose and repair both mechanical and electrical faults, including the use of diagnostic tools and reading workshop manuals.
- Strong attention to detail and a genuine commitment to workplace health and safety.
- Reliable, proactive and solutions-focused attitude — comfortable working both independently and as part of a small team.
- At least 2 years of relevant work experience in a similar role
- Good communication skills in English, sufficient to interpret manufacturer specifications, complete service records, and discuss work with customers and colleagues.
- A current motorcycle licence (or willingness to obtain one) is preferred.
What We Offer: Full-time ongoing role, a varied workload across customer bikes and our own rental fleet, and a supportive, hands-on team environment.
