About Mute Garage
Cities are congested, loud, and choked by outdated transport models - and we are here to rewrite the script! At MUTE Garage, we aren't just deploying electric mopeds; we are building the operational backbone of sustainable urban mobility. If you are an experienced hands-on tech who loves the smell of a workshop, knows how to keep a fleet moving, and isn't afraid to grab a wrench when it counts, this is your arena.
Role Overview
MUTE Garage is scaling its active urban electric moped fleet across London. We are looking for an experienced Senior Mechanic or Workshop Lead to take charge of our London fleet operations. This is a hands-on, tools-first role. While you’ll oversee workshop workflow, parts inventory, and safety compliance, you will spend a significant portion of your week right on the floor: stripping down e-mopeds, diagnosing complex electrical faults, flashing controllers, and managing battery health.
You won't just fix things yourself; you'll build the standard operating procedures and mentor our team so we can scale clean, efficient repairs across our London hubs.
What You’ll Actually Do
- Hands-On Diagnostics & Repair: Directly execute complex e-moped repairs, motor and controller swaps, and battery management system (BMS) diagnostics to keep fleet uptime high.
- Workshop Leadership: Manage daily workshop workflow, tooling, and parts organization across our London hubs.
- Systems & SOPs: Write clear, practical repair guides and technical procedures so the whole team operates safely and efficiently.
- Parts & Supply Chain: Own local stock control, tracking spare parts consumption, ordering components, and keeping shrinkage and waste to zero.
- Health, Safety & Compliance: Ensure a clean, safe, and compliant workshop environment adhering to UK health and safety standards.
What We Are Looking For
- Experience: 3+ years of hands-on mechanical and electrical experience working with motorcycles, scooters, e-mopeds, or heavy electric vehicles.
- Technical Depth: Solid grasp of electric powertrains, controllers, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic multimeters. If you can read a schematic and trace a short circuit, you're our kind of person.
- Leadership Edge: Experience leading a small team, training junior staff, or running an independent workshop bay.
- Organisation: Practical mindset - you know how to keep a workshop tidy, parts binned correctly, and a workflow moving.
- Requirements: Clean UK driving licence (for moving vehicles between hubs/mobile support) and full UK working rights.
Benefits & What We Offer
- Competitive Salary: £40,000 – £48,7,00 basic salary (depending on experience).
- Personal Moped: Access to a company-maintained electric moped for personal commuting and leisure use (subject to clean license verification and company vehicle terms).
- Clear Career Progression: A structured internal growth pathway to broader Operations roles as the regional footprint expands.
- Mission & Impact: Work alongside a global team of passionate innovators on the cutting edge of sustainable hardware and urban micro-mobility. Real impact on sustainable urban transit - no corporate fluff, just building a better transport network.
- Upskilling & Development: Dedicated opportunities for professional training and skill development to support your technical and leadership growth.
- Team Culture & Perks: Regular team building activities, social events, and a collaborative startup environment.
- Pension: Auto-enrolment workplace pension scheme contributions in line with UK statutory requirements.
