Using knowledge and experience to identify potential reliability critical issues.
  • Committing to and delivering the quality, reliability and consistency of the engine build process. Working in close cooperation with the engine build team to ensure engines are built to a defined specification, that what is built and how it is built is consistent and working to a defined ‘best practice’ standard – with supporting documentation.
  • Ensure engine build documentation is followed and completed accurately and fully using our digital format (including SN’s properly recorded, engine spec sheets followed, engine strip sheets, PDI records and engine build sheet accuracy).
  • Competent in measuring, inspecting, and checking engine components on strip including documentation and report writing.
  • Complete, record and maintain accurate and consistent build records and component serial numbers.

  • Careful cleaning, inspecting and preparation of engine components for further inspection and/or build.
  • As technical competence grows, you will be encouraged to show a willingness to highlight/raise any issues in the quest for resolution.
  • Responding to and fulfilling infrequent Fabrication requests until such time as demand becomes too great.

 

Key Skills / Experience

Essential:

  • Experienced Engine Builder
  • Familiarity with IC engines
  • Experience in working with race engines or aerospace
  • Interest in motorsport
  • Experience in a mechanical and practical based role.
  • Attention to detail both in engine building and report writing
  • Natural dexterity and deftness of hand

  • Demonstrates pride in their work to achieve exacting standards required.

Values & Behaviours

  • Honesty, openness, the ability to learn from faults and failures, to give and accept feedback, and have a high level of personal responsibility & accountability – these are most of the important qualities that will ultimately determine the individual candidate’s success or failure within AER.
  • Ability to work within a small team, to deliver as required to meet the needs of the business, and demanding nature of motor racing.
  • Someone that can identify their own personal success or achievement within a team result.
  • Someone that recognises the fact that their behaviours within a small team are key to their success, that asks for feedback and gives feedback, as part of their personal growth & development.
  • AER’s baseline assumption in hiring personnel, with limited experience is that they have the basic skillset and education to be successful. But the ability to translate their skills and education to ‘real-world’ problems, to achieve within a small team environment, and be successful as part of the team - is intrinsically linked to the values and behaviours outlined above.

Standard full-time working week, 40 hours a week, 8 hours a day. When based at AER's Essex facility, standard office hours are flexible across core hours, providing for an early start if preferred.
