Tyre Expert

Overview

You’ve spent the last few years honing your tyre performance skills in the world of motorsports. You’ve got the educational background, the skills to back it up, and a real passion for all things tyre engineering. Now you want a role where you can combine the technicality of modelling in the factory with the buzz of optimising performance on the track. A role where you’ll be giving a leading team a proper competitive edge.

If that sounds like you, this Tyre Engineer could be perfect for you.
