Job Title: Mechanic / Engineer / Car Builder

Tomcat Motorsport Ltd is seeking a versatile mechanic, engineer, or car builder. This role is distinct from a typical 'motor garage' mechanic position, involving building and partial building of Tomcat's road and competition cars. Responsibilities include repairs (including racing damage), servicing, and fabrication for off-road and track competition vehicles.

The ideal candidate should be a capable mechanic, resourceful, and able to solve technical and build problems. Skills in electrical system build and repair, light fabrication, and fibre glass repairs are required. Welding and machining skills are preferred but not mandatory.

The successful applicant will work under the supervision of the project engineer alongside other team members, both permanent and self-employed.

This role can be offered part-time and is suitable for a qualified mechanic seeking a career change, or a skilled car builder looking for part-time work in retirement. Road testing and off-road testing are part of the job, so a clean UK driving license is essential.
