• Minimum NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Motor Vehicle Mechanics & Diagnostics

SCOPE OF THE ROLE

We are looking for a full-time, BMW M-trained technician with a strong motorsport background to join our growing team. You must have at least 5 years’ experience working with BMW vehicles and a clear understanding of performance enhancements, including suspension geometry setup and installation of aftermarket parts.
This role requires someone with hands-on motorsport experience, including setting up track-focused vehicles and supporting cars during track days and events across the UK and internationally.
You will take charge of workshop operations, carry out customer installations, and serve as a visible face of R44 through content creation and social media, helping DIY customers install products at home.
You’ll also be responsible for the preparation and maintenance of our development fleet, which includes a Porsche GT3RS, multiple 1000+BHP M3s, and heavily modified track-focused builds.
You must be calm under pressure, organised, and have strong time management skills. A “can-do” attitude is essential — we are a close-knit team that relies on each other to perform at a high level.
