The posting

Company Description

For almost 50 years, Williams F1 Team has been at the forefront of one of the fastest sports on the planet, being one of the top three most successful teams in history competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. With an almost unrivalled heritage of engineering and racing F1 cars and unforgettable eras that demonstrate it is a force to be reckoned with, the British squad boasts 16 F1 World Championship titles to its name.

Since its foundation in 1977 by the eminent, late Sir Frank Williams and engineering pioneer Sir Patrick Head, the team has won nine Constructors’ Championships, in association with Cosworth, Honda and Renault. Its roll call of drivers is legendary, with its seven Drivers’ Championship trophies being lifted by true icons of the sport: Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve. The team has made history before and is out to make it again with a long-term mission to evolve and return to the front of the grid.

Job Description

Imagine being the last set of hands on a Formula 1 car before it fires out of the pit lane and onto a test circuit. Every bolt you’ve torqued, every system you’ve prepped, every call you’ve made it all matters. There are no race crowds watching, but the data from today shapes the car that races in front of millions. That’s the weight. That’s the privilege. That’s the No.1 Mechanic on Williams F1 Team’s Test Team.

We are one of the most storied names in motorsport and right now, we are on a relentless push to get back to the very front of the grid. The Test Team is at the sharp end of that mission. Compact, specialist and trusted with some of the most sensitive development work the organisation runs, this is not a role for passengers.

You will own the car. You will be the person people look to when something needs solving quickly, quietly and perfectly. The circuits change. The conditions change. The pressure is constant. Dull days? Not here.

YOUR ROLE IN THE FIGHT FOR THE FRONT ROW

As No.1 Mechanic on the Test Team, you are the technical backbone of every session. Working directly under the Test Team Manager, you will take full ownership of car preparation, build quality and on-circuit mechanical support often with a smaller crew and tighter margins than race weekend. You set the standard. Your No.2 follows your lead.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Take end-to-end ownership of the test car from factory build through circuit preparation, on-circuit support and return to base ensuring zero build errors and no compromise on quality.
  • Lead mechanical operations at test events, acting as the primary point of contact between the car and the engineering team making fast, accurate decisions when the session schedule won’t wait.
  • Work closely with Vehicle Performance Engineers to execute set-up changes, component swaps and aero configurations that feed critical development data back to the factory.
  • Guide and mentor the No.2 Mechanic, maintaining the team’s standards and professionalism whether the session is running smoothly or everything is going sideways.
  • Liaise with factory departments Composites, Gearbox, Electronics and more to ensure the car leaves Grove ready for whatever the test programme demands.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

Proven experience as a No.1 or senior mechanic in professional motorsport F1, F2, Formula-E or equivalent with a track record of running a car at circuit testing events. You know how to build a race car to an exacting standard, how to read a situation when the clock is against you, and how to keep those around you focused when the pressure spikes.

You are dependable, calm and technically brilliant. You take genuine pride in the craft. You understand that a test programme is only as good as the data it produces and the data is only as good as the car you hand to the driver.

The data from the test track builds the car that wins on Sunday. If you’re ready to be the person Williams trusts with that responsibility apply now and let’s go racing.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
