About Bike Share Pittsburgh

Bike Share Pittsburgh is a nonprofit organization that operates Pittsburgh's station-based electric bike share program, POGOH. POGOH pedal and e-asisst bikes are available 24/7 at station locations across the city. Our organization is made up of multiple departments dedicated to providing the best mobility option for Pittsburgh. Bike Share Pittsburgh is driven by our mission to provide a joyful, sustainable, and affordable mobility service for everyone.

Bike Share Pittsburgh Experience

Bike Share Pittsburgh has a shared open office space located near the Doughboy statue on Penn Avenue in the Strip District. We have a mix of people working remotely, in-person, or hybrid schedules depending on job requirements. Our staff is small, so each role at Bike Share Pittsburgh requires focus, hard work, and (most importantly!) teamwork to provide our customers with a joyful experience riding bikes. We all take pride in POGOH. In our downtime, we ride bikes and spend time supporting others in our community.

Field Team Member

Bike Share Pittsburgh seeks a part time Field Team Member to help rebalance our fleet of POGOH pedal and e-assist bikes on nights and weekends! Field Team Members drive or cycle from station to station to ensure POGOH bicycles are available, safe, and functional for our customers. This includes basic ABC bike checks at stations, sanitizing/cleaning stations, moving or installing bike share equipment in the public right-of-way, and more.

Folks who enjoy this role are commonly hard workers, adaptable, and enjoy working outdoors in all weather conditions.

A field team member at POGOH must have a positive attitude, work efficiently, and communicate well across teams. On-the-job training in bike share specific components and systems will be provided.

Bike Share Pittsburgh embraces diversity and equal opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills.
