Mission Your future playground You will join the shop of Biel, with an area of 2600m2, made up of a team of 28 employees. Your perimeter Workshop - Cycle - Rental is at the heart of our local strategy. The team consists of 10 enthusiasts including 2 technicians. Join an adventure that continues to grow Decathlon in Switzerland, it is a success story that started in 2017 in Neuchâtel. Since then, we have opened about ten stores a year to reach 50 outlets today. And we're not going to stop there! Our expansion continues, especially in German-speaking Switzerland, offering career opportunities throughout the country. And now, you're looking for a job where you're not just here to tighten bolts behind an establishment? Do you want to make decisions and be in direct contact with athletes? Do you want to combine your technical expertise with a true sense of customer service? Then this job is for you. Why?
- Your workshop is your own business. At Decathlon, we like to give responsibility to our teammates.

- You are the link between technique and human. The client is at the centre of everything. Whether to provide a precise diagnosis, offer the right choice of services (second life, maintenance) or simply reassure an athlete on his or her equipment, you are in the field.
