With an almost unrivalled heritage of engineering and racing F1 cars and unforgettable eras that demonstrate it is a force to be reckoned with, the British squad boasts 16 F1 World Championship titles to its name.

Its roll call of drivers is legendary, with its seven Drivers' Championship trophies being lifted by true icons of the sport: Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve. The team has made history before and is out to make it again with a long-term mission to evolve and return to the front of the grid.

Job Description

Role Purpose:As a Model Maker, you'll be at the heart of our Aerodynamics department, crafting and testing high-precision 60% scale model parts in one of the most advanced wind tunnel facilities in motorsport. What you make in the Model Shop makes it onto the racetrack. That's the job of a lifetime.

About the Role

Day to day, you'll be manufacturing and testing precision 60% scale parts, working hand-in-hand with our Model Design, Aero, and Aero Test Facilities teams to keep development moving at pace. Traceability and readiness matter here - you'll own the detail, making sure every part is accounted for and the pre-fit model is always race-ready.

You'll build a close working relationship with the Aero Design Team, using your hands-on expertise to spot opportunities for faster model change times without ever compromising on quality. When something isn't right, you raise it and help fix it - contributing to a culture of continuous improvement that runs through everything we do in Aero Production.

This is also a role with visibility. Our Model Shop is a showcase facility, and you'll take pride in the standards you set - from Health & Safety to the impression we leave on the partners and guests who walk through our doors.

About You

Being a Model Maker is who you are. You take pride in precision and thrive under pressure. A natural collaborator, you spot ways to do things better and aren't afraid to say so. You bring high standards, a sharp eye for detail, and the resilience to keep delivering in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment. Whether your background is in aerospace, advanced manufacturing, or motorsport, what matters most is your drive for excellence and your ambition to be part of something extraordinary.
