If you take pride in immaculate craftsmanship, understand the critical nature of composite integrity, and thrive in environments where precision directly affects performance and safety — this is your place.

About the Role

As a Composites Technician on the McLaren Hypercar Programme, you will produce, repair, finish and maintain carbon components that operate at the highest level of endurance racing. You will work across pre-preg components, structural repairs, laminating, trim/fit and trackside repairs under extreme time pressure.

Your workmanship becomes part of a world-class race car — and your standards must match that level.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Completing composite repairs: structural, cosmetic, bonded joints, inserts and crash damage.

  • Trimming, drilling, profiling and finishing parts to drawing specification.

  • Laminating and repair prep (pre-preg, core materials, adhesives).

  • Working closely with mechanics, engineers and build teams to ensure perfect fit and alignment.

  • Conducting trackside composite repairs under pressure and on tight turnarounds.

  • Managing consumables, materials, traceability and documentation.

  • Ensuring components meet safety, dimensional and structural criteria before sign-off.

  • Maintaining a clean, controlled environment and correctly handling composite materials.

What You’ll Bring

  • Strong composites background within elite motorsport or aerospace.

  • High-quality craftsmanship with exceptional attention to detail.

  • Ability to work quickly, cleanly and accurately under pressure.

  • Knowledge of structural repair techniques, adhesives and composite assembly.

  • Excellent communication and teamwork with mechanics and engineers.

If you want your craftsmanship to be part of a podium-contending Hypercar, this is your opportunity.
