Job description
At McLaren, our mission is to set the standard for high performance in sport. Everyone in the team has a role to play. If you want to test your ideas with the world watching, measure your progress in milliseconds, and contribute to racing history, you belong here. High performance starts with you.
Purpose of the Role:
To provide car parts support, maintain and improve the TPC logistics stock and lifing functions both electronically and physically, to enable effective running of the TPC programme. This includes stock control, build and kitting practices, servicing routines, and ensuring components and assemblies are fit for use. You will deliver stock and parts logistics programs supporting events at and away from the McLaren Technology Centre (MTC).

At events, you may also support other on- and off-car activities as needed, as directed by the TPC build manager. A strong understanding of car component stock management in a Formula One environment is essential, including archiving components at the end of their use. Support outside the TPC programme, such as current F1 activities and Heritage, may occasionally be required.
Principal Accountabilities:
* Ensure correct transaction, service requirements, and routing of components to guarantee they are shipped and fit for purpose for each event, and allocated accordingly.
* Manage TPC stock control and parts supply for events or builds.
