Welcome to the home of Global Electric Street Racing.
The Role:
Are you a technical mastermind with the vision to transform city streets and venues into world-class racetracks and events? We are looking for a Senior Track and Overlay Manager to lead the end-to-end lifecycle of Formula E’s venue design infrastructure.
This is a high-stakes, "boots-on-the-ground" role operating at the intersection of elite engineering and global events delivery. Reporting to the Director of Event Project Management, you will serve as the central integration point for our temporary venues, translating complex global standards into site-specific realities that meet the rigorous safety and operational demands of a world-class championship.
- Integrated Venue Design & Feasibility: You will be the technical architect of our race. Collaborating with the FIA, track and venue designers, you’ll support the technical feasibility analysis for new venues.
- Global Standards & Technical Specifications: You will hold the blueprint for excellence. You’ll evolve Formula E’s circuit standards, ensuring all global overlay specifications are planned and delivered to suitable requirements across every host city on the calendar.
- Operational Lifecycle Management: You take full ownership of the site from "greenfield" to "race-ready." You will manage the build and de-rig process, coordinating a massive network of suppliers and multi-million-pound budgets. During the event, you will ensure the track and venue infrastructure remain high-quality and budget-optimised under live-race pressure.
- Cross-Functional & Stakeholder Liaison: You are the bridge between the race and the world around it. You will support the coordination of overlay requirements for hospitality, fan zones and commercial activations while briefing local promoters to ensure a unified understanding of our delivery standards and timelines.
- Continuous Technical Improvement: Beyond the race weekend, you are a builder of systems. You will monitor track deliverables season-wide, leading projects to refine efficiency and evolve our temporary infrastructure for a more sustainable, high-performance future.
What we're looking for in you:
- The Technical Architect: You possess a deep knowledge of international event operations and construction best practices. You aren’t just a manager; you are a power user of AutoCAD (and ideally VectorWorks) who can visualise complex temporary engineering within the constraints of a bustling urban environment.
- The High-Pressure Problem Solver: You thrive when the stakes are highest. Whether it’s navigating a mid-build design change or solving a logistical bottleneck during a live event, you bring a lateral-thinking approach and a proactive energy to every challenge.
- The Diplomatic Conductor: You are a skilled communicator capable of managing a diverse ecosystem of global partners, local government authorities and internal departments. You know how to hold suppliers accountable to "gold-standard" delivery while maintaining strong, collaborative relationships.
- The Global Voyager: You are a proactive self-starter ready to take this show on the road. With a willingness to travel extensively to 4-6 international race locations and additional site visits, you are comfortable operating in diverse cultures and regulatory frameworks at short notice.
Please note, this position involves a background check via our integrated platform, Veremark, as a standard requirement of the role.
What's in it for you?
- 25 days' annual leave, Birthday day off and Wellbeing leave
- Opportunity to extend your stay if travelling for a race event
- Health Cash Plan and access to the Aviva Digital Workplace app
- Enhanced Parental Leave
- Flexible Bank Holidays
- Paid volunteer and carer's leave
- Cycle to Work and Electric Car Scheme
- Formula E store discount
- Regular social events and employee working groups
This is a hybrid role and you'll be required to do 3 days a week in our Hammersmith London office
