Assembly and Test & Validation Apprentice

Engineering excellence becomes execution - and where we create our winning formula. Test & Validation pushes every part through advanced rigs and durability testing to confirm it meets the highest standards. Assembly then brings together thousands of components into a complete F1 car ensuring every mechanical and electrical system integrates flawlessly for reliability and speed before it is sent to the track. 

As an Assembly Test & Validation Apprentice you will embark on a structured rotational programme designed to offer a rare opportunity to gain hands-on experience at the heart of a Formula 1 team. Over the course of the programme you will rotate between two critical departments: Test & Validation and Assembly. This will give you a chance to develop a strong foundation in vehicle testing data-driven problem-solving race car build processes and high-precision engineering. 

Shape the Future 

• Demonstrate an eagerness to learn a proactive mindset and a willingness to rotate between teams to broaden your expertise. You are expected to continuously seek ways to improve department and personal performance.
• Maintain a high attention to detail and the ability to follow precise instructions and quality standards required for race-critical assembly and testing. 
•  Possess the ability to stay calm and organised in dynamic high-performance environments always ensuring safety and compliance. 

Make Real Impact 

• Execute the practical setup operation and de-rigging of mechanical and structural test rigs monitoring and recording test data to ensure the highest level of quality. 
• Develop competency with precision tools and assembly fixtures to support the high tolerance build and maintenance of F1 assemblies contributing to quality control checks and inspection procedures. 
• Manage parts tooling and build data accurately and efficiently while participating in pit crew training and development activities to support operational readiness. 

Find Your Place  

• You have good communication organisational skills and a keen interest in engineering. 
• You must have GCSEs (or equivalent) including Mathematics English and a STEM subject and be eligible for a relevant engineering apprenticeship programme. 
• Candidates with A-Levels or a BTEC in engineering/motorsport or relevant hobby/project experience (e.g. karting automotive repair model engineering) are encouraged to apply. 
• You will graduate with a Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering and Automotive Engineering Pathway QAUH: Motorsport Composite Manufacture.
