Company Description
For almost 50 years, Williams F1 Team has been at the forefront of one of the fastest sports on the planet, being one of the top three most successful teams in history competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. With an almost unrivalled heritage of engineering and racing F1 cars and unforgettable eras that demonstrate it is a force to be reckoned with, the British squad boasts 16 F1 World Championship titles to its name.
Since its foundation in 1977 by the eminent, late Sir Frank Williams and engineering pioneer Sir Patrick Head, the team has won nine Constructors’ Championships, in association with Cosworth, Honda and Renault. Its roll call of drivers is legendary, with its seven Drivers’ Championship trophies being lifted by true icons of the sport: Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve. The team has made history before and is out to make it again with a long-term mission to evolve and return to the front of the grid.
Job Description
Nothing goes on the car until you sign it off. Component Assembly is where suspension, brake, steering, power unit integration and drive-train assemblies are built, stripped, serviced and passed off, for race cars, test cars, PR cars and customer cars alike.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
It is a specialist function with a short line to the design office. When you find something wrong during a strip, the person who can fix it is in the same building. Your sign-off is the last check before a part goes on a car that races, so the standard is simple: no defect gets passed on.
What you'll be doing
- Building, stripping and servicing Williams and customer suspension, brake, steering, power unit integration and drive-train components to Engineering and Manufacturing procedure
- Assessing every component as it comes apart and goes back together, and reporting faults rather than working around them
- Operating pass-off and test rigs
- Raising assembly and quality issues with the team leader or the relevant design authority
- Building to deadlines set by the race and test calendar, working from the daily work list
- Recording build and component information accurately in our systems, so the life history of every part stands up to scrutiny
- Keeping the workshop and equipment to the standard the work demands

Qualifications
What you'll need
- Hands-on experience building complex components or sub-assemblies in F1, F2 or sports car racing. An eye for detail that does not switch off at the end of a long build week. The ability to explain a technical problem clearly to a designer, a team leader or a mechanic, without a long preamble.
- Useful on top of that: Teamcenter PLM and CAD, lifing systems, and ERP or manufacturing execution systems.
What you'll get
- Work you can point at on Sunday.
- A Monday to Friday pattern in a part of the business that does not live on the road, with the full run of components across race, test and customer cars rather than one narrow sub-assembly.
- Direct access to the engineers who design the parts you build, which is the fastest route to understanding why a component is the shape it is.
