a. He is the man to repair bikes.
b. He is our man to repair bikes.

Could these mean he is the man/our employee/the member of our group who has been assigned the task of repairing bikes?

Many thanks.

I would not say a.
b might work but the context would have to be very clear.

He's the guy in our group who repairs [the] bikes.
