About XGP

XGP is a specialist historic motorsport and restoration business working across some of the world’s most valuable and iconic race cars.

From workshop builds and restorations to global race support, we operate at the highest level of detail, precision and care, delivering cars that perform as well as they present.

We’re a small, highly experienced team that values quality, trust and doing things properly.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced mechanic to work across both workshop and race operations, managing and supporting the preparation, restoration and running of historic race cars.

This is a hands‑on role in a fast‑paced environment, where your work directly contributes to car performance and trackside delivery.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Preparation, maintenance and setup of historic race cars
  • Mechanical assembly, rebuilds and restoration projects
  • Fault diagnosis across mechanical, electrical and chassis systems
  • Supporting cars at UK and international race events
  • Managing your own workload and documenting work carried out
  • Working closely with the team to deliver cars to the highest standard
  • Maintaining a clean, organised and professional workshop environment

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience working professionally on historic or classic vehicles (essential)
  • Strong mechanical knowledge with the ability to diagnose and resolve issues end‑to‑end
  • High attention to detail and pride in workmanship
  • Ability to manage your own time and projects
  • Strong team player with a positive, can‑do attitude
  • Willingness to travel internationally for events
  • Full UK driving licence

What You’ll Get

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Opportunity to work on rare and historically significant race cars
  • International travel to premium motorsport events
  • A close‑knit, experienced team environment
  • The chance to be part of a growing specialist business

The Reality

This isn’t a 9–5 workshop role.

  • Expect travel to at least 3+ international events per year
  • Hours will flex around race schedules and deadlines
  • You’ll be trusted to manage your own time and standards
