Job Description
Behind every race-winning car is a team committed to managing the flow of materials and components with precision, speed, and purpose. From programme planning and manufacturing to final delivery, this end-to-end process ensures every part arrives exactly where and when it’s needed.
At the heart of this operation is a team of expert planners and logistics specialists who transform design intent into reality. They continuously refine systems and processes, coordinating the journey of each component from initial demand to trackside delivery. Their focus on efficiency ensures a seamless handover to the race team.
Their ability to manage complexity keeps development on track and performance at its peak. As the backbone of our build and delivery operation, they make sure every part is race-ready, on time, and engineered for excellence.
We are hiring for the following roles:
