Supplier Quality Engineer (RBAT) 12 Month FTC

Red Bull Racing Formula One Team; Milton Keynes; On-site; GBP 35,000 - 55,000; Full time

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.
