Job description

Job Opportunity: Mechanic / Engineer / Car Builder at Tomcat Motorsport Ltd

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

The ideal candidate will be a capable mechanic with resourcefulness and problem-solving skills. They should be competent in electrical system repairs and building, possess light fabrication skills, and have experience with fibre glass repairs, welding, and machining (preferred but not essential).

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

This position can be offered part-time, suitable for a qualified mechanic seeking a career change or a skilled car builder looking for part-time work in retirement. The role involves road and off-road testing, so a clean UK driving license is required.
