Component Assembly Technician

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. Your sign-off is the last check before a part goes on a car that races.

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.

What you’ll bring

• Hands-on experience assembling complex mechanical components to tight tolerances — torque-to-spec, clean-build discipline, the confidence to stop and flag a part that isn’t right. Ideally from F1, F2 or sportscar racing.
• Comfortable working from CAD drawings and recording build data accurately. Experience with Teamcenter PLM, lifing systems, or an ERP/manufacturing execution system will help you settle in quickly.
• The department also builds and services hydraulic components, so experience there is welcome, with potential to progress into a trackside role.
