Senior CAD Technician

Are you ready to make your mark in the world of Formula 1?

At Formula 1, we are passionate about delivering the world’s greatest sports and entertainment spectacle leaving a positive legacy wherever we race. Innovation has always been at the heart of what we do ever since our first Grand Prix in 1950. Now, more than 75 years on, the sport remains a pioneer, developing technologies that have made a significant impact on society beyond the track.

Everything you see on screen or at an event comes via our passionate and dedicated people. Whether its engineering, broadcast, legal, logistics, security, event management, commercial, media rights, marketing, or communications there is always a talented team working to maximise the potential of the sport.

As a Senior CAD Technician, you will play a vital role in supporting Formula 1's Circuit Engineering activities through the production, maintenance and continuous improvement of our CAD drawing portfolio. Working closely with Circuit Engineers, you will be responsible for maintaining and developing Circuit Engineering AutoCAD External References (XREFs), ensuring accurate and up-to-date circuit infrastructure information is available to support race planning and operational delivery.

Combining strong technical drafting expertise with exceptional attention to detail, you will produce and manage a wide range of engineering drawings, integrating survey information, design updates and LiDAR data to create reliable and consistent outputs. Your work will directly support the planning, preparation and execution of Formula 1 events around the world.

Based at the Media & Technology Centre in Biggin Hill, this non-travelling role offers an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced engineering environment, collaborating with technical specialists to ensure Formula 1's circuit infrastructure records remain accurate, controlled and fit for purpose.
