MassBike Is Hiring

Written by Boston Biker on May 08

From MassBike:

————-

We are excited to announce two great job opportunities. We are hiring a part-time Bike Safety Instructor for the Boston area and a Project Coordinator based in Springfield, Massachusetts. If you or anyone you know would be interested in either of these positions, please send in an application. We are expecting to close the hiring process within a few weeks, so you’ll need to act quickly.

Bike Safety Instructor

Our Instructors deliver the bike safety education for our Education Program. We currently have four instructors located around the state, but are looking for an additional instructor for the Boston Metro area. The key to this position is having a flexible schedule, as many of the classes we teach are during the day, though occasionally on nights or weekends. Ideal candidates will have teaching experience and are intimately familiar with bicyclist issues. Time commitment will only rarely exceed 20 hours per month. To see the job description, click here.

Project Coordinator

We are searching for a top-notch candidate to help the City of Springfield build its bicycle and pedestrian network. The Project Coordinator is a full-time position based in Springfield that will work closely with staff from the City and from the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission. An ideal candidate would have a Master’s Degree and a minimum one year of experience, or two to four years of experience doing related work. Spanish language skills and familiarity with or residency in Springfield a HUGE plus. To see the job description, click here.

MassBike Is Hiring

Written by Boston Biker on Mar 20

A great organization, check this out if you want to get into the bike advocacy world.

———-

We have an incredibly busy year of advocacy and education planned, and we need more help to make it happen! We have two positions available immediately: a half-time Program Associate and a full-time Events and Outreach Manager. Check out the job descriptions below for the details, and please forward this on to others who might be interested.

Events and Outreach Manager

This position will have primary responsibility for the planning and execution of our two major riding events – the Summer Century and the Berkshires to Boston Tour (a new multi-day ride) – and for our day-to-day public outreach and communications activities. In addition to promoting the events, the Events and Outreach Manager will work closely with other staff members to develop content for our blog, email newsletter, and social media. See the full job description here.

Program Associate

This half-time position will primarily be responsible for coordinating the Education Program, including our Safe Routes to School classes and Adult Education Classes. This will include corresponding with customers to arrange classes, working with our instructors around the state to get the classes in their schedules, and providing instruction for many of the classes in the Boston area. Finally, the Program Associate will work closely with the Events and Communications Manager to help with outreach and communications as needed. See the full job description here.

If you are interested in applying to either of these jobs, please send a cover letter, resume, and writing sample no longer than 1000 words to [email protected] (blog posts are preferred for the writing sample, and links are fine). We will accept applications until the position is filled, though prefer applications to be sent in by Friday, March 29.

CommonWheels Hiring For Spring

Written by Boston Biker on Mar 07

Got this in the email, check it out!

————-

Hope all is well and you’re ready for that Spring Thaw!  I wanted to let you know that CommonWheels is looking to hire a couple of folks part-time for our upcoming season.

The complete descriptions/instructions for applying are attached, but here’s the gist.  We are looking to hire an Event Coordinator and Mechanic for our Open Shop program.  Open Shop is our flagship program, and basically involves setting up on the side of the road or at a farmers market, and helping people fix up their bikes for free.  We provide the repair stands, tools, and guidance on the basics of bike maintenance and repair, in addition to running more structured workshops.  The Event Coordinator is in charge of managing the Open Shop from wire to wire.  The Mechanic will take the lead on fixing bikes and instructions, and should recognize that this is not like showing up to a shop and wrenching on bikes for a while; the idea is to teach folks to fix their own bikes, as much as possible.

An application = cover letter and resume, emailed to [email protected], by Friday March 22nd.
