Job description

For many fans of Formula One, the sport exists between lights and chequered flag on a Sunday afternoon. It begins and ends with the exploits of the drivers on the track. But this is merely the tip of the spear. The reality of modern F1 is that of a complex and intertwined operation, every part of which needs to perform near its limit if success is to be achieved. From the pit crew searching for the ultimate repeatable pit stop, to the inspiration of the designers, the application of engineers and the herculean efforts of an army of fabricators and machinists. Much of our success is thanks to the diversity of thought and spectrum of skill sets held within the team, our ability to recognise unique contributions from individual team members is just a part of why we love what we do.

Job Description

You will be based at our state of the art engineering and manufacturing facility in Milton Keynes, designed to produce high-performance Power Units for the 2026 engine regulations.

In this Assembly Technician role, you will cover all aspects of assembly, build, servicing and maintenance of our Power Units including oil pumps, fuel systems, water pumps, Turbocharger and MGU-K, both at the factory and on events if requested by the Team Leader or Trackside Chief Mechanic.

• Ability to work on multiple tasks simultaneously, reacting to changing priorities and scope while meeting tight deadlines
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong professional relationships across the Red Bull Groups
• A collaborative and committed team player

Not only is this fantastic Assembly Technician role, but it is also a fantastic team to work with here at Red Bull Powertrains. A good salary is just the start; there are many other benefits too such as our bonus scheme, private health care cover, life assurance scheme, workplace nursery scheme, company contributed pension scheme, on site gym & fitness classes, free daily food allowance, and a cycle to work scheme; but above all, the job satisfaction doesn’t get any better than the feeling of making a real contribution to our championship winning Grand Prix cars.
