Our technicians in the national Decathlon Service Center repair our customers' sport products for rental and second-hand sales. As technician, you not only repair with us, but you also advise our shops on technical questions and share your knowledge with colleagues. Eventually you can even play an (inter)national role. Apply now and become one of our top technicians!

WHAT YOU WILL DO WITH US

All products can break, sometimes through use, sometimes due to a manufacturing defect, but fortunately most of Decathlon's products are repairable. Our stores have workshops that solve many problems, but they send the difficult jobs to the service center, where you take care of them. As technician, you are an expert who has product knowledge and you know how to independently carry out sport product repairs. Communication with our stores is also part of your work, because they will sometimes ask for advice and like to stay informed about the state of their repairs.
A product that you have handled will return to the store in perfect condition, making for a happy customer! Products we for example repair:

• Bikes

• Tents and other outdoor equipment

• Fitness equipment

• Watersport equipment

• Etc.

DAILY WORK AT A GLANCE

• Receiving, registering and repairing sport products

• Ordering spare parts

• Registering and shipping repairs (to stores and our 2nd life department)

• Communication with our stores and other stakeholders

• Find information about our products and repairs

• Inventory of our stock

Our team is an international group of people who carry out all different repairs for the sport products. Gradually, everyone finds their own specialization and we expect the same from you. Everyone can work independently, but with difficult issues we work together to find a solution. The team has its own manager (we like to say; leader) who takes care of planning, training and technical assistance!
