Race Team Mechanic jobs

Pay: £35,000.00 per year

Job Description:

Overview

We are a well established mail order business with over 24 years of experience supplying performance car parts to retail and trade customers worldwide. As a fast growing company we have recently expanded our operations with the launch of a European company and distribution centre and new UK workshop facilities.

We run a fleet of highly modified road, track and race cars to assist with marketing and product development. These include a Nissan Skyline running a 6.7 Litre V8 with sequential box, a number of Clubsport E92 M3s, multiple Citroen C1 endurance racers, modified M2, GT4 RS, Fiesta race cars, E46 competition spec drift cars etc. Recent expansion to our workshop and track activities means we are looking for a skilled and experienced Race Mechanic. The successful candidate will be responsible for inspecting, repairing, and maintaining a variety of vehicles including modified road, track and race cars. This includes transporting and supporting track and race cars at various UK and European circuits. You will only be dealing with company vehicles, not retail.

We are expanding our workshop department and equipping it with the latest equipment including a dedicated damper development and dyno suite.

You would be working with an enthusiastic and growing team of petrolheads and the role will be varied and always interesting with plenty of opportunities to travel the UK and Europe and be involved with a wide range of activities over and above the day to day car prep and maintanance. We recently hired Blyton Park and Donington Park for private use for example and attend shows all over the Uk and Europe. One day you might be drifting in Ireland, the next supporting our race cars at Brands Hatch, the next flying out to Europes biggest show in Poland.
