Pure curiosity - I'm wondering what the wages might be for some of those positions.

[Flooble]

You want paying too???

[lbc]

They have been advertising for at least 6 months for jobs, as that was when I was last looking.

Wages in Banbury area are normally below average.

I'd love to apply, shame they require experience in the motor/F1 industry.
I love how they specifically ask for a Bsc or above in Computer Science

Maybe in a few years I'll be putting in applications!

I would love to do something like this, but the volatility of the F1 world means a lack of job security that I'm unwilling to accept.

that and its in Bandbury!

Not necessarily. Plenty of long serving people in F1. Team names may change but the businesses tend to roll on with no loss of employee rights.

I bet the pay is mediocre at best and the hours are dreadful/anti-social. There was a thread on here recently where users were sharing their stories of working within F1.

There seems to be a general unwillingness to employ persons from out with F1/motorsport.

Again, not necessarily. Plenty of people working fairly normal hours and being pretty well paid for it. The novelty of working for an F1 team wears off after a while, many wouldn't stay if the terms weren't up to scratch.

Renault are taking on a lot of people as well.

I can say quite confidently that Trackside IT for a F1 team will be very anti social hours

Basically, Banbury is nothing! I was looking at a trackside IT job with Red Bull several years ago ... I believe the pay was c.£35K/annum and what with being 'trackside', you'd travel the world with the team. As such, hardly any time at home whatsoever.

Sounds alright to me. Now, who can teach me high level IT stuff in about 6 days?

You know how to reboot a pc right? When can you start...

Had a job offer with Jordan in '97 doing race team IT support, dream job at the time for me, they never advertised the rate until during the interview, it was 1/2 what I was on at the time (paying about £13k plus bonus money) couldn't afford to take the job, was most gutted at the time. Plus point was a personal factory tour and got to witness an installation start up of one of the engines (peugeot or mugen?)

Joking aside you would be amazed how many people will apply with little or no experience just to try and get a job in F1 and "live the dream".
