Due to the expansion of sportscar racing in 2012, Dunlop Motorsport has a requirement for trackside service engineers to work with our partner teams at race and development testing events.

The positions will involve being the first point of contact with a team and performing the following tasks

Being responsible for the team’s tyre allocation

Taking tyre temperatures at all pit stops

Measuring tyres after sessions (wear rates, etc)

Recording data, entering it into a common database and generating reports

Liasing with the team race engineer and Dunlop development engineer to ensure that the setup and tyre selection are appropriate for the conditions

Data analysis (Motec i2, Pi Toolbox, etc) in conjunction with Dunlop’s Vehicle Dynamics Partner

The positions will be a fixed contract of 1000 hours, and will be track based apart from 2-days of training, which will be carried out at Dunlop Motorsport or other convenient location. It will also involve world-wide travel (often at short notice) and 24 hour races.

The candidate needs to have good communication skills, and be able to confidently take responsibility for a safety and performance critical component of a race car with minimal supervision.

Previous Motorsport experience is desirable, but detailed tyre knowledge is not essential, as training will be provided.

Interested parties should contact me directly for a full job description at: ben_michell – at – goodyear.com

We will consider candidates in the first week of the new year.
