Job Description

Are you hands-on, technically skilled, and looking for a role that takes you around the world? We're looking for a Track Systems Technician to join a high-performance engineering team delivering precision technology at major international events.

This role combines fieldwork, technical problem-solving, and global travel, perfect for someone who enjoys working outdoors, thrives under pressure, and takes pride in getting things right, first time.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Installing and maintaining timing loops, beacons, and temperature sensors at event venues

  • Terminating and testing data cables (coaxial and multi-core) and supporting data acquisition systems

  • Commissioning and configuring electronic and IT hardware in fast-paced live environments

  • Diagnosing and resolving faults in network and electrical systems

  • Maintaining detailed technical documentation, reports, and fault logs

  • Collaborating with internal teams and external stakeholders for smooth setup and operations

  • Working across a wide range of global environments — from heat to cold, wet to dry

  • Ensuring all equipment is properly maintained, transported, and ready for deployment

What You’ll Need

  • Hands-on experience with electrical/electronic systems and fault-finding

  • Comfortable reading and working from wiring diagrams and technical documentation

  • Basic understanding of TCP/IP networks and cable systems

  • Excellent communication and time-management skills

  • Ability to perform reliably in high-pressure, live broadcast environments

  • Physically fit, with a willingness to work outdoors and travel internationally (1–3 weeks at a time)

  • A full UK driving licence

Bonus Points For:

  • Familiarity with CAN bus and RF systems

  • Prior experience in technical event support or motorsport environments

  • HND or degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or related fields

This is more than just a job, it's a chance to be part of a skilled team delivering critical systems in some of the world’s most demanding and exciting live settings.
