Operative, Freight Operations

At McLaren, our mission is to set the standard for high performance in sport. Everyone, in every part of the team, has a role to play. So if you want to test your ideas with the world watching... And measure your progress in milliseconds... And play your part in racing history... You belong here. High performance starts with you.

Purpose of the Role

As a Freight Operations Operative, you’ll play a hands-on role in ensuring the effective storage, delivery, servicing, setup, pack-down and presentation of garage environments, support equipment and parts—both at events and at our storage facilities. While you’ll be part of a high‑performing team, you’ll also operate independently and confidently to deliver essential tasks that keep our trackside and factory operations running smoothly. You’ll also support wider road, air and see freight operations and take on ad hoc duties as required.

What You’ll Do

• Manage the efficient storage and servicing of assets and infrastructure during non‑travel weeks, typically in a warehouse environment.

• Safely and accurately set up infrastructure at events, maintaining the highest standards of compliance, safety, quality and presentation.

• Carry out practical hands‑on tasks requiring mechanical, electrical or IT aptitude, resolving obstacles as they arise.

• Apply working knowledge of motorsport garage infrastructure or relevant transferable skills from other industries.

• Ensure accurate reporting, load planning and fulfilment in line with all shipment requirements.

• Safely operate machinery, including forklift equipment (training provided where required).

• Conduct inspections of PPE and supporting equipment.

• Support and carry out trackside security duties to protect company IP.

• Provide race support operational tasks as needed—such as refuelling, tyres and general garage duties.
