WILL BENNETT • RACE TEAM MECHANIC
About.
THIS IS WHO I AM.
A highly motivated and hardworking individual, who is finishing a Level 3 Race Technician qualification at the National College for Motorsport in Silverstone next month and is now looking for employment in the motorsport industry either under an apprenticeship or as a full-time race team mechanic. My career aspiration is to become a Number 1 Mechanic in a top-level team.
Mechanically minded, with a methodical approach to working and an eagerness to learn and develop practical skills. Team player who has learnt the value of working within a group dynamic to deliver results but experienced enough to work on tasks individually when called for. Willing to commute or relocate where necessary and can travel to race events as required.
Currently working part-time most race weekends with EDF Motorsports (Fun Cup & British Endurance) and Kevin Mills Racing (GB4).
