The Facilities team supports the entire business, ensuring our state-of-the-art Technology Centre and infrastructure can meet our evolving operational needs.

You will be given the autonomy to troubleshoot challenges, propose solutions and deliver value-added projects within tight deadlines. Depending on the project, you may put your design skills into practice by creating or amending infrastructure drawings, work with large bodies of site and utility data, or take ownership of sustainability and engineering projects from initial concept through to delivery.
You will also support managers with the collection, analysis and presentation of data and calculations that are central to successful project delivery. Working as part of a specialist team, you will collaborate cross-functionally across the business and gain first-hand experience of how Facilities Engineering supports a world-class Formula 1 engineering environment.
