Tyre Engineering Group Leader

 
 
Who's it for and what's in it for you? 
 
If you think of the word ‘innovation’ you’re probably imagining cutting-edge tech, and things that are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Well, that’s exactly what our motorsports client is doing.
 
With sustainability at their core, they’re building tech that’s helping us head to a future of cleaner propulsion, autonomous mobility, and more connected vehicles. Oh, and they’re also competing in the big leagues when it comes to motorsports too. They’ve got a bold plan for the next few years to really accelerate what they’re capable of. Cool, right?
 
As for working for them, they apply the same level of care to their people as they do their work. From the big stuff, like funded training, healthcare coverage, and wellbeing support, to having a culture that’s all about championing each and every employee, they’re a great place to work. 
 
 
What will your day to day look like? 
 
This role sits in the motorsports division and is all about tyre performance. With grand plans for the next few seasons, they’re looking for someone who can come in and help write the next chapter by helping them achieve peak performance. Everything you do has one goal, improvement.

• Leading and developing a high-performing tyre engineering group 
• Driving tyre development strategy 
• Collaborating with Vehicle, Race, and Performance Engineers to optimise tyre performance and durability 
• Using data analysis and simulation to inform tyre design and track performance 
• Coordinating testing programmes, including on-track evaluations and lab work 
• Monitoring key performance indicators to deliver continuous improvement 
• Championing a culture of excellence, innovation, and collaboration within your tea
