Automotive/Motorsport Industry jobs???

[Pierscoe1]

just a thought due to the other posts on here (and present lack-of proper job status)...

anybody know what sort of jobs like this are around/where you find them/what qualifications you need?? any good websites etc.

thinking of anything from office-work at demon tweeks, to car buyer for newera imports, to test-driving for ferrari :-)
basically anything that would have something to do with what we all love.

thanks in advance for any links etc if you have any..

You've probably considered all these but.


* set up your own specialist import business (entire cars or just parts)

* find an abandoned loacl shop and set up a mini-demon tweeks

* go on a decent mechanics course and offer home fault diagnosis for less money than the AA

I suppose there's loads of other things you can do that are less capital intensive, just need to get a few mates round and brainstorm for a bit...

Would be worth contacting companies in the industry or simply checking their websites.

Follow it up with a search on the job websites using an keyword such as "automotive".

Of course a lot of this depends on whereabouts you are. Here in Milton Keynes there is VW group and Mercedes UK head offices as well as a plethora of racing teams within commuting distance.

Renault are just about within a reasonable commute as well.

A lot of these companies contract out some of their services, for example a company called Navigator runs the customer services operations for Seat, Skoda and Land-Rover.

Piers,

The company I work for use GoJobsite.co.uk Otherwise contact employment agencies that specialise in Engineering - Redwood, Beechcroft, etc.

Good luck - there are more people than places around at present....

edited because it was too early to be typing words like employment
