This demanding but rewarding role is key to delivering high-quality results to our Aerodynamicists in their quest to deliver more world championships. Providing operational and first-line support of the state-of-the-art wind tunnel and its associated systems, you will be an integral part of the team responsible for the smooth technical operation of the facility.
To be successful in this role, you will be technically minded, with a strong background in engineering and good IT skills, as well as being able to communicate effectively to a variety of people and the ability to work under considerable pressure.
