Every individual plays their part. No stone is left unturned in the chase for every tenth of a second. The history of our sport is long and rich, and we are continuing our journey with renewed effort year on year. Record books remember the names of a few, but history is written by the many.

About the role:

We are seeking a skilled CNC Machinist / Programmer to join our Main Machine Shop, working across an early/late shift pattern.
