We've had a discussion at my place of work today and decided we need another pair of hands to assist. So if anyone fancies working with some fairly recent F1 cars let me know. Role would be part time to full time after 6 months (probably much quicker than that) assuming that you fit the bill, would be ideal for someone looking to wind down into retirement or for someone fresh out of university who wants F1 experience before starting their career but that's not to say it isn't a long term prospect. Goes without saying you should be engineering savvy, have good experience of spannering a race car and able to present yourself in a very professional manner for the few times we have to run these cars in public.

Working environment is very good, relaxed enough to be fun and has much banter. Staff are a mixture of full/part time with some of the part timers working here as well as full time engineering jobs elsewhere. I should make it clear though it's not a giggle and no one forgets these are hugely powerful race cars that would easily kill whoever is in and around them if it goes wrong.

Based in the countryside between Cambridge and Northants so nice outlook from the front of the workshop too! Post if you're interested and I'll e-mail you.

Wow. What an offer.

If I knew anything about race car engineering I'd be all over that hehe

Sadly my background is with timber! I'd love that, wish I was savvy with the spanners.

I'm in the winding down to retirement category and if I could commute to you daily, I'd be very interested.

I'd love to and would more than be happy to travel and work for/with you but I'm not that great with fixing cars etc.

Unless you count fitting an EBC and boost gauge to a 1992 MR2 turbo? wink

Hi All,

Thanks for the responses, really pleased to see some people are keen. I will fire you all an email over once I am back from Italy tomorrow afternoon and we'll go from there. :-)

You could specialise in the underfloor plank.

Shame you aren't looking for a race fuel expert. Knew I should of gone down the spanners route but if ever you want something special mixing for the tank, I'm your man.

Would love to give it a go. Just fear I am not 'spannerie' enough. Would give everything a good go though. Shame as I'm considering a new job!

laugh true but even that will have calculations and need to be tunnel tested, no, I couldn't take the pressure of that task.
