Job description

Red Bull Powertrains has an exciting Junior Project Manager opportunity to join our Planning & Control team as we transition from building our team’s first Power Units to refining them into a race‑ready package, all aimed at delivering the most competitive car on the 2026 Formula One grid. You will be based at our state of the art engineering and manufacturing facility in Milton Keynes, working alongside our Engineers and Supply Chain to create and deliver development and race component plans.

This entry‑level role is perfect for someone with a passion for motorsport and engineering plus a keen interest in project management. You’ll support the planning and delivery of our ERS (Energy Recovery System) programme, helping to track progress, coordinate activities, and ensure communication flows smoothly across the team.

You’ll be part of the wider Planning & Control function, which plays a key role in managing the delivery of our power unit projects from initial concept through to on‑track performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create and maintain project plans, helping to ensure tasks and deadlines are up to date and clearly communicated
• Work with senior project managers to monitor progress and identify any risks or delays impacting overall program status
• Support the coordination of internal meetings, ensuring actions are recorded and followed up
• Help maintain our project tracking tools and systems, using industry‑standard software like MS Project
• Liaise with engineering teams to gather updates and ensure all departments are aligned with project goals and milestones

What We’re Looking For:

• A strong interest in motorsport, engineering, or technology projects
• Some experience or understanding of project planning tools (e.g. MS Project, Excel, or similar software) is helpful but not essential
• Excellent organisational and communication skills – you enjoy working with others and keeping things on track
• A methodical and detail‑oriented mindset with a willingness to learn and develop
• A team player who’s proactive and takes pride in their work

Not only is this a great opportunity to join the Planning & Control Team in the Junior Project Manager 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.
