Race Mechanic - Formula 4
WFA Digital Insight
The race mechanic role at phm‑racing‑gmbh is a rare blend of remote flexibility and on‑track hands‑on work. While the position is listed as remote, the daily reality involves travelling to European circuits—most often in Italy—to assemble, service, and run Formula 4 cars. Candidates who thrive on fast‑paced environments and enjoy the pressure of race weekends will find the job compelling. The team’s multinational makeup (over fifteen nationalities) means you’ll be collaborating with engineers and crew members from many backgrounds, sharpening both technical and communication skills. Fluency in English and a solid grounding in mechanical fundamentals are essential, as is the willingness to adapt to long, irregular hours during events.
