Jobs in Formula Two

EXCITING JOB OPPORTUNITIES WITHIN THE F2 CHAMPIONSHIP

Exciting new opportunities exist as part of the ongoing evolution and further expansion of the FIA Formula Two Championship. With 24 fully upgraded cars and a Grand Prix circuit-based calendar, we now have the following full time and event only vacancies in the 2012 race team...

Data & Systems Engineer

If you are keen, self-motivated, prepared to work hard and are looking to progress up the racing ladder, this could be your ideal opportunity. This role will include workshop preparation and data analysis, track-side support for the team at races, championship and development tests throughout the season. Flexibility is essential, as is proven race team experience. You should be fully conversant with Pi Toolbox and have practical experience analysing and interpreting racing car data and this should ideally include knowledge of engine and gearbox control systems.

Practical knowledge of data systems hardware installation is important and hands-on experience in the design and/or manufacture of wiring looms would be ideal although training will be offered. Candidates will need to be able to work under their own initiative quickly, accurately and efficiently and must be resourceful problem-solvers. This is a part-time role involving a wide and exciting variety of vehicles predominantly in the F2 race team but with some crossover to the PalmerSport fleet but could develop into full time for the right individual.

Race Engineer

We have a single vacancy in our large and immensely experienced engineering team. Successful applicants will have a proven track record engineering single-seater racing cars in a top level formula - GP2, Formula Renault 3.5, F3 or similar - together with a strong engineering background and ideally an engineering degree or other formal qualification.  Extensive experience of car set-up and race engineering is essential as is an ability to communicate clearly and effectively with drivers and team personnel. You should have experience managing a small team of people and you must be expert in the use of Pi Toolbox data analysis software. You will be working with the team for all the race weekends throughout the season and the official tests.

Race Mechanics

Highly competent, experienced race mechanics are required immediately for the upcoming race season. Full-time mechanics are responsible for running an F2 car at all race events and tests and also undertake preparation of their F2 car at our Bedford Autodrome base. Substantial experience as a senior mechanic in top-level single-seater series - F3 or above - is required. Fastidious attention to detail is imperative, car preparation, maintenance and set-up to the highest and most exacting standards must be second nature.

Truckies

Hard-working and smartly presented truckies are required to assist us with the transport, set up and pitlane support for the Formula 2 cars at all races and tests. Tyre fitting experience would be a definite advantage as would a current forklift licence, but not essential for these event only roles.

We are offering competitive remuneration, excellent working conditions and have a proven track record creating a foundation for long-term careers in motorsport. Relevant qualifications, academic or practical, in automotive or engineering areas will assist all applications.
