THE OPPORTUNITY
Every component that goes on a Williams F1 car starts with hands like yours. As a Composites Laminator Technician, you’ll manufacture the carbon fibre parts that sit at the absolute limit of what’s physically possible, working with pre-impregnated materials, vacuum bagging systems, and precision tooling in an environment where a millimetre matters and every gram counts.
This is not a production-line role. It demands craft, judgement, and the kind of technical instinct that only comes from years at the bench. If you’ve spent serious time in composites, ideally in F1 or high-performance motorsport and you want your work on the grid, this is your seat.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Laminate moulds directly from patterns using pre-impregnated tooling fabric, applying vacuum bagging techniques to debulk with precision.
- Manufacture structural components in pre-impregnated carbon with a range of weave styles and epoxy resin systems, working to tight engineering tolerances.
- Read and interpret engineering drawings and Ply Books via Williams’ CAD system, translating technical data into flawless layup execution.
- Create templates for repeatable, consistent part production; work with honeycomb sandwich core materials from templating through to cure.
- Manage the full part lifecycle: parting, pre/post-cure prep, de-moulding, drilling-off cured components, and handoff to the next process stage.
- Operate within QA frameworks, completing all technical procedures, work orders, and sign-offs with zero shortcuts.
- Log component faults accurately via the MPI system and contribute ideas to continuously improve process and performance.
Company Description
For almost 50 years, Williams F1 Team has been at the forefront of one of the fastest sports on the planet, being one of the top three most successful teams in history competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship. With an almost unrivalled heritage of engineering and racing F1 cars and unforgettable eras that demonstrate it is a force to be reckoned with, the British squad boasts 16 F1 World Championship titles to its name.
Since its foundation in 1977 by the eminent, late Sir Frank Williams and engineering pioneer Sir Patrick Head, the team has won nine Constructors’ Championships, in association with Cosworth, Honda and Renault. Its roll call of drivers is legendary, with its seven Drivers’ Championship trophies being lifted by true icons of the sport: Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, Damon Hill and Jacques Villeneuve. The team has made history before and is out to make it again with a long-term mission to evolve and return to the front of the grid.
