Job Description:

At Prodrive we believe there’s no limit to what can be achieved when the brightest minds come together. Joining one focused and driven team, you will challenge boundaries in order to change the game for our customers. We are the world’s leading independent motorsport company and the business behind some of the greatest names and achievements in motorsport over the last 40 years. Our skilled Technicians, Mechanics, Fabricators and Engineers work together every step of the way to design, build and run elite competition cars on the track and off-road across the globe.

Having won two of the last three Rally Raid events, including their debut in Morocco, the Dacia Sandrider team are looking for talented Technicians to join them in their quest to win the World Rally Raid Championship in the FIA Ultimate T1+ category. As the driver’s No 1 Technician, you will ensure the car, spares and equipment are prepared on time and to the high standards expected. You’ll become part of a close-knit team and will quickly need to establish rapport and trust with your team-mates. Do not underestimate the scale of the challenge. Extreme stamina, work-ethic and extraordinary drive for results will all be key ingredients to our success. Worldwide travel is an essential part of this role and can be up to 3 weeks per event.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead the team of Technicians at the factory and on event, ensuring the car preparation is to the highest standard and on time.

• Provide guidance, coaching and training to ensure your team are meeting agreed quality and performance targets and develop at a pace aligned with their potential.
• Carry out other adhoc duties requested by the Team management.

Who are we looking for?

Our ideal candidate will have previous experience as a No 1 or No 2 Technician within a Rally team, with a strong ability to understand and interpret the build specification of a full car set up. You will have the ability to follow build and operational procedures accurately, be a team player and a good communicator with teammates, engineers and management. Good attention to detail is required, along with a flexible approach and preparedness to work overtime as dictated by the demands of the business.

What can we offer you?

• An attractive salary which will grow in line with your ongoing development and impact
• 25 days holiday (which increases with long service) with an opportunity to purchase up to 15 extra days
• Training opportunities for continuing professional development
• Car and pension salary sacrifice schemes
• Paid time off for volunteering
• Consultations with our Fit 4 Life expert
• Social events throughout the year
