Hi chapps and chappets, ok abit about me I am the head mechanic for a race team in switzerland we are a tin top team, small but effective.

we are trying to fill a couple of job vacancies so here i am asking the world of piston heads if there is any 1 or 2 in this case, has the expertise we need.

Ok the job's both are full time permanent all year round!!!

we have a heavy work load now and throughout the season so for the right candidate you would have a immediate start.

I cant go into salary or anything else on here but if you are successful you will be contacted and interviewed etc

ok the actual job's

No 2 mechanic.
Needs to be self-starter, experienced within motosport mechanics, racing or rally, ideally touring car tin top style car's but any other more than welcome too.
Must have some welding and fab skills and a can do attitude and be able to find own jobs.

any other skill would be a bonus

Trukie.
Needs class 1, experience in motorsport (Europe would be advantageous), have good basic (or better) mechanical background as you will assist in all other areas of prep and running on event and in workshop plus much more.

both jobs need candidates to be professional, willing to relocate, energetic and not bother by extremely long hours.


If any of this brief takes your fancy send me you cv and any questions you may have, we are looking to fill these jobs very quickly so get emailing me.

thanks for you time.

First post. Too good to be true. Lacking in detail. Bad spelling and grammar. ...

Also if i can send you to motorsportads.co.uk we are the guys that put "Become a part of our international racing team in coming motorsport season as a race mechanic." in the jobs bit.

or our sit is maurer-swiss.ch but please send me any cv's
Reason is if you send it through our site it will get lost in the hundereds of emails that my boss gets every day and he only passes them to me any way.

You'll need a commercial guy - sponsorship, sales, you know - the money guy; makes it all happen...

Reporting for duty comrade.

if this is genuine, why aren't you advertising on autosport?
if this is genuine, why haven't you bothered to spell check? I doubt you'd take it kindly if I didn't spell check my CV
if this is genuine, you wouldn't see this as "job of a life time". Number 2 mechanic or trucky for an unname team is nothing in motorsport, you have to be Adrian Newey to say you have the job of a life time.
if this is genuine, why are you using a "personal" user name, instead of one that represents your team?
if this is genuine, why are you saying you can't go into salary details? Every motorsport job I've ever seen advertised is based on salary expectations.


Otherwise, I'll stick to my current job of a life time developing high performance KERS

I know what you're thinking - didn't they ban motor racing of all types in around 1955 in response the Le Mans disaster?

scratchchin indeed.

They've started allowing hillclimbs over the past couple of years. It would also be fairly central for competing in France, Germany, Holland and Italy. It also has a favourable tax regime iirc.

Interesting how a thread turns...

Plenty of motor racing types in Switzerland.

I went to a very nice family vineyard near Geneva. Small, smart shop. Regaular vans, etc for delivering - and next to them, a fully livered GT2 (I think) that the female owner used to compete at various European tracks smile

This thread sums up the reason some of the most informative posters no longer contribute.

It's sad to see people in the hate mob mentality in here.

Also, what's the KERS job relevance?

"Well educated, hardworking and industrious engineer, working in relevant eco-friendly sector but in need of a better salary and more fun."

None of the jobs really fit in this thread...
