Doing the final adjustments with new bikes, so that they arrive in perfect condition with their new owner. Do you want to work at Decathlon's most innovative warehouse in Tilburg? Start your Decathlon career in logistics as bike assembly employee and discover the many possibilities to shape your career. Our team is made of all different kind of nationalities!

Our automated distribution center in Tilburg is open since 2021 and we supply all our 22 stores.

Together with our robots, it makes us Decathlon's most modern distribution center ever. 

Decathlon's mission is to move the people through the wonders of sport.

Working within Decathlon means that you will develop yourself. On a monthly basis you have individual conversations with your manager (we call it leader by the way) who can support and challenge you in the field of both professional and personal development. 

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
You are the last step between the factory that makes our bikes and the customer who will ride them. A bike that has passed through your hands is all set for its first ride. So you really make people happy by making their bicycles perfectly roadworthy. You do this by correcting minor mistakes on the bike, such as adjusting brakes, tensioning gear cables and aligning wheels. They are new bikes so it is not about major repairs but the bikes come a long way and always need some attention after their journey. The best of them team have a change to make internal steps towards our workshop. Our local workshop offers a wide variety of repairs for all our customers throughout the Netherlands.

DAILY WORK AT A GLANCE

• Unpacking the bike

• Clamping the bicycle to the mounting pole

• Securing the bike at your working height

• Check and adjust the bike in its entirety

• Bike back in the box
  

MEET THE TEAM! 
Yes, you are probably a part of that yourself! But to at least tell you something; we will be with about 15 people in the team, of which you will be working with a maximum of ten people at the same time in our own assembly workshop in our warehouse. You will receive training about cycling technique and our working method, at the same time we are in full development and there is therefore plenty of room for the input of your ideas. You work together with colleagues from logistics who ensure the supply of new bicycles and who count on you for the timely assembly of the bicycles. The team has its own manager (we like to say leader) who takes care of planning, training and technical assistance!
