Careers in the Motorcycle industry

[rob13]

I was just thinking about careers in the motorcycle industry and wondered if anyone knew what was available? i havent looked into anything as yet but aside from engineering what else was available

Rossi must be getting close to retirement now. Perhaps that'll create an opening.

The motorcycle industry needs accountants, marketers, sales people, HR experts, retail developers, merchandisers, stock controllers, designers, QA engineers, jig and tool makers................pretty much the same opportunities as in any other industry.

But the truth is that it's not a very big industry in the UK and, unless you are at the retail end, you don't necessarily get to play with the product very much - a bit like the wine industry where you don't necessarily sit around sipping chardonnay all day!

Ive been in the bike industry nearly 10 years now,i started in sales,which was ok but then i moved onto the parts,been doing that eversince.Get ur cv together and post it about but do it in spring time,not over winter when the trade goes slow....good luck

Theres always gonna be the retail side like in the shop and parts side. Also the garage side fixing the things. Quite a few possibilites as mentioned.

yeah i guess if i was gonna move into something like that, then i would probably be contacting the manufacturers to see what careers were available. Ive got a very good career at the moment but im not entirely sure its for me.
