Working for Berkshire Bike and Board isn't just a job at a bike shop-it is a career in the bicycle industry. Our employee development path allows for upward mobility from sales, tech, and management in our local shops to opportunities at our soon to be built brand headquarters. All employees will spend the first few weeks learning our culture, products, and processes-with group rides afterward. Other company-sponsored training includes brand-specific and fitting seminars as well as training to help match bikes perfectly with riders and consistent training on new products and practices for our mechanics.
