Job description

For many fans of Formula One, the sport exists between lights and chequered flag on a Sunday afternoon. It begins and ends with the exploits of the drivers on the track. But this is merely the tip of the spear. The reality of modern F1 is that of a complex and intertwined operation, every part of which needs to perform near its limit if success is to be achieved. From the pit crew searching for the ultimate repeatable pit stop, to the inspiration of the designers, the application of engineers, and the herculean efforts of an army of fabricators and machinists. Much of our success is thanks to the diversity of thought and spectrum of skill sets held within the team, our ability to recognise unique contributions from individual team members is just a part of why we love what we do.

Job Description

We have an exciting opportunity for a NDT Inspector to join Red Bull Powertrains at our state-of-the-art facility in Milton Keynes. This permanent position involves working weekend shifts - Friday to Sunday, 7am to 7pm.

This role involves the detailed inspection of complex and critical components and assemblies to the highest standards using approved inspection methods, recording, and reporting results in accordance with our procedures. You will carry out non-destructive testing activities during the manufacture and in-service use of car components to ensure they meet the correct quality and specifications.

The applicant must have proven NDT Inspector experience and possess current EN4179 Level 2 qualifications in Magnetic Particle, Penetrant Inspection, Ultrasonics, and Eddy Current. Experience and qualification in 2D X-ray, 3D CT, and exposure to Volume Graphics are also desirable. You should demonstrate skills in the use of inspection measuring equipment.

Applicants should ideally be apprentice trained, hold an ONC/HNC qualification or equivalent, and have experience within a disciplined manufacturing or inspection environment. Experience in Motorsport, Automotive, and/or Aerospace industries is desirable. You will be a self-motivator with a proactive approach, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work under tight deadlines often with minimal supervision. The role requires dealing with challenging situations and delivery pressures.

This is not only a fantastic NDT Inspector position but also a great team to work with at Red Bull Powertrains. A competitive salary is just the start; benefits include a bonus scheme, private healthcare, life assurance, workplace nursery, pension scheme, on-site gym and fitness classes, free daily food, and a cycle-to-work scheme. Above all, the job satisfaction of contributing to our championship-winning grand prix cars makes this a truly rewarding opportunity.
