We’re looking for passionate Mechanical Engineering graduates to join us on our journey, supporting the Heritage Engineering team in the design and development of components and assemblies for historic Formula 1 cars. You’ll work closely with the Chief Engineer and car build departments to assess recommissioning and servicing needs, identify components requiring re-engineering, and create designs that meet F1 heritage standards. From initial concept through to manufacture, sub-assembly, testing, and final installation, you’ll be involved in the full product lifecycle. To succeed in this role, you’ll need to be a collaborative team player with a proactive attitude and a keen eye for detail.

  • Join Williams Heritage, where the legacy of Formula 1 is kept alive through the restoration and recommissioning of iconic race cars some dating back over 45 years.
  • Gain hands-on experience in re-engineering components and assemblies using original notes, drawings, and systems like Teamcenter and NX, while learning from a team with over 150 years of combined experience.
  • Learn the full product lifecycle from design and calculations to manufacture, testing, and final assembly while contributing to the preservation of motorsport history.

Make Real Impact

  • Work closely with the Chief Engineer and car build departments to assess service needs, identify components for re-design, and ensure race-readiness for heritage events and commercial activations.
  • Apply technical skills in mechanical design, stiffness calculations, and drawing creation, while learning how to maintain authenticity in every engineering decision.
  • Support the delivery of heritage cars for client engagements, sponsor events, and private ownership, directly influencing brand image and commercial success.

Find Your Place
