Job description

Want to accelerate your career? Electrify your potential as a Track Technology Manager and join the fastest growing motorsport on the planet!

About Formula E:

Formula E, the world's fastest-growing sport, is redefining motorsport with a bold focus on innovation and sustainability.

Hosting over 100 races in iconic cities globally and backed by top manufacturers like Porsche, and Jaguar, we feature elite drivers and cutting-edge EV technology. As the world's first sport certified Net Zero Carbon from inception, Formula E combines thrilling entertainment with a mission to advance sustainable progress, inspiring a global fanbase with our high-performance brand new GEN3 EVO race car capable of 0-60mph in 1.82 seconds (0-100kph in 1.86s).

Using the spectacle of sport, we are sending a powerful and meaningful message to help alter perceptions and speed-up the switch to electric mobility.

Welcome to the home of Global Electric Street Racing.

The Role

Are you an unshakeable, high-energy technology professional ready to orchestrate the critical infrastructure that powers world-class motorsport? We are looking for a Trackside Technology Manager to lead the end-to-end delivery, stability and management of our technical footprint at all championship race and test events. This isn't an office-bound IT job; it is a high-octane, hands-on role where you will bridge the gap between strategic supplier management and rugged, trackside execution under live-broadcast pressure.

You will be the primary point of contact for all event-specific connectivity, managing tier-one suppliers, mapping complex fiber rings and ensuring flawless communication channels for race control, TV broadcasters and teams. Balancing meticulous pre-event planning with rapid, real-time problem-solving, you will guarantee that our critical networks remain online when seconds mean millions of dollars.

• Zero-Downtime Network Stewardship: You will own the uptime of our mission-critical Sporting, Communications and Event networks. Your goal is simple: guarantee uptime and flawless latency stability during every official track session, ensuring safety and performance are never compromised.
• Infrastructure Design & Fiber Mapping: Before the event build begins, you will produce and sign off on detailed network layouts, physical fiber path diversity plans and redundancy architectures to eliminate single points of failure at temporary street circuits and permanent tracks.
• On-Site Execution & Freight Operations: From overseeing the physical installation, splicing and testing of fiber rings to managing the off-season maintenance and international customs paperwork for our technology freight, you will be deeply hands-on with both the hardware and the logistics.
• Stakeholder & Request Management: You will act as the central interface for all ad-hoc connectivity requests. Whether configuring dedicated Wi‑Fi networks for VIP hospitality, distributing IP-CCTV feeds to broadcasters, or managing bandwidth allocation (ACLs) for race teams, you will deliver seamless service to a diverse global stakeholder base.
• SLA Audits & Continuous Improvement: Your job doesn't end at the checkered flag. Within 72 hours of every race, you will author comprehensive technical debriefs, analysing vendor performance against strict SLAs, documenting any technical incidents and outlining systemic improvements for the next event.

What we're looking for in you

• The Motorsport-Tested Engineer: You bring 5+ years of experience in network engineering, systems administration, or IT project delivery, with at least 2 years operating in high-pressure, live-event or motorsport environments (e.g., Formula E, F1, WEC, or tier-1 sports broadcasting).
• The Technical & Physical Generalist: You have deep expertise in enterprise networking (LAN/WAN, VLANs, routing, firewalls) and wireless technologies (RF planning, Wi‑Fi 6/7, spectrum management). You are equally comfortable discussing IP protocols (Dante, AES67, PTP) as you are rolling up your sleeves to handle outdoor-rated fiber‑optic cabling and copper deployments in the pit lane.
• The Diplomatic Vendor Manager: You have a proven track record of managing high-value technical contracts and holding on-site delivery partners (especially timekeeping or telemetry suppliers) accountable to strict SLAs, maintaining professional authority across different cultures and languages.
• The Unshakeable Crisis Leader: When things go wrong on live TV, you are the stabilising anchor. You possess exceptional mental agility, a logical troubleshooting mindset and the ability to translate complex technical failures into clear, actionable updates for executive leadership and race officials in real‑time.
• The Resilient Global Traveler: You have the physical and mental stamina to thrive during challenging on-site schedules, outdoor weather extremes and constant international travel, maintaining a meticulous, "zero-error" mindset despite timezone fatigue.

What's in it for you?

• 25 days' annual leave, Birthday day off and Wellbeing leave
• Opportunity to extend your stay if travelling for a race event
• Health Cash Plan and access to the Aviva Digital Workplace app
• Enhanced Parental Leave
• Flexible Bank Holidays
• Paid volunteer and carer's leave
• Cycle to Work and Electric Car Scheme
• Formula E store discount
• Regular social events and employee working groups

This is a hybrid role and you'll be required to do 3 days a week in our Hammersmith London office.

At Formula E, we are building a culture where every voice matters, every perspective accelerates progress, and every individual is empowered to rise, contribute boldly, and shape a better world - together. We will provide equal opportunities regardless of an individuals' protected characteristics. We believe in attracting and retaining diverse talent to strengthen our global vision with a variety of experiences, backgrounds and perspectives.

The closing date for this role is 13th October 2026, however if we receive a high volume of applications we may close it early.

Our mission is clear. The message is simple. Whoever you are. However you live. Whatever you believe. Formula E. For the Future. For Everyone.

We’ll see you at the starting line!

¡VAMOS!
