This is not an entry-level role—candidates must have prior professional, hands-on mechanical experience. Academic projects and student programs alone are not sufficient as primary experience for this
position. Opportunities are available for both travel-based roles, supporting race events on the road, and shop-based positions focused on vehicle preparation and development at our facility. This position is ideal for someone looking to grow within a professional motorsports team while continuing to build advanced technical skills.

• Perform routine service tasks and component inspections with minimal supervision.

• Support teardown and reassembly of driveline, bodywork and suspension components.

• Assist with car setup tasks such as body fitment, basic alignment adjustments, and scaling.

• Provide trackside support including pit crew assistance, pre- and post-session inspections and rapid turnaround work.

• Follow direction from senior mechanics and engineers while proactively identifying issues.

• Maintain tools, equipment, and a clean, organized shop environment.

• Accurately document work performed and communicate mechanical concerns.

Required Qualifications:

•  2–4 years of hands-on mechanical experience required.

•  Working knowledge of core vehicle systems.

•  Ability to perform basic repairs and maintenance tasks independently.

•  Strong work ethic and willingness to learn in a high-performance environment.

•  Solid mechanical foundation with room to grow.

•  Attention to detail and consistency.

•  Ability to take direction and apply feedback quickly.

•  Team-oriented mindset with clear communication.

•  Composure under pressure and time constraints.

​

Work Environment:

•  High-energy, fast-paced racing environment.
