JOBS WITH RSR

WANT TO WORK AT THE BEST TRACKS IN THE WORLD?

WORK AT THE NÜRBURGRING AND SPA!

RSR is hiring! We’re looking to add to our team of dedicated and passionate staff at the best race tracks in the world: The Nürburgring and Spa-Francorchamps! You must have a passion for all things cars and motorsport, and be prepared to work hard during the busy season.

About working at RSR:

  • You will be surrounded constantly by the most amazing and coveted sport cars and supercars possible, and occasionally get to drive them.
  • You are on location for some of the coolest motorsports events in the world.
  • You will meet likeminded car enthusiasts and get to discuss all things automobile until your hearts content.
  • You will get to live absolutely unique experiences and take part in things that only come from being in motorsport.
  • We have many contacts in the motorsport world and many partnerships for great deals on car parts, and a workshop with experienced mechanics.
  • This is a small, close-knit team of amazing staff where everyone pitches in to help. Job roles and your day to day work is varied and exciting. We don’t limit you to one task and career growth is only limited by what you want to work on and bring to the company. We don’t just hand out “job titles” for the sake of making you feel good!

The reality check:

  • Since this is a seasonal business, be prepared to work longer hours during the season. However, this is balanced with more time off and lower hours in the winter months.
  • Weekend work is required. Days can be long and tiring so it is important to be able to keep up with the demands of the job.
  • You must be able to handle a high amount of stress and pressure with a positive attitude and a smile on your face. Tasks happen fast, last minute and with constant changes. Any hint of negativity will not be accepted, as this drags our whole team down.
  • If you are expecting to drive supercars all day, then we have to disappoint you. The majority of your time will be spent in the office “watching other people have fun” on track. However on your days off, remember you are living beside one of the greatest circuits in the world, and if you have your own track car, enjoy those laps!
  • Yes, we have to transfer our cars to other circuits (i.e. you get to drive the cars), but you won’t be given immediately the keys to a Porsche. The larger cars will only come with supervision and/or length of time in the company. Our fleet is our source of income and important work tools, so the utmost care and responsibility must be taken.
  • We have to be honest: This is a combination of both Motorsport & Tourism – both not very condusive to family life! The majority of our staff are childless. Anything is possible, but please be aware about the requirements of the job!
  • The track is built in a remote location. If you are coming from a big city the lack of people, amenities and night life feels very isolating and can be quite lonely.

Seasonal working hours:

  • We’re generally looking for full time, year round staff. However contractors and part time staff will also be considered.
  • We are working when the track is open. So often this would mean you would need to be in office from 7am to 8pm, with an hour break for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday. When we have groups or special events this could also be for 4-5 days in a row!
  • This is a seasonal business, so hours in season reflect this. From April to October it is quite often that we will have weeks with even up to 60 hours or more. This is balanced with months of 20 hours and full paid time off from November to March, to make the whole year approximately the same as a “normal” job. We also have restrictions on the amount of days in a row for time off during the season because of this.
  • It is also normal to work on holiday days, since this is when the circuit is open.

EU Working permits and visas:

  • We generally prefer to hire staff that already have the appropriate documentation to work and live in Germany. Better when you are already living in Germany, and best if you already live locally.
  • The process for a German working visa can take over 6 months, and requires you to have specialised skills in order to be accepted
  • It can be quite a culture shock to move to Germany, especially if you are not fluent in German.
  • However, we have and have had many team members from all over the world, so anything is possible!

Languages:

  • Our main spoken language in the office is English. Therefore, to communicate with your team members and customers, this is a base requirement.
  • English or other languages are not widely spoken in this part of Germany. Think day to day life of supermarkets, shopping, rental apartment contracts and interactions with government officials and documentation.
  • We recommend having at least some knowledge of German, as this makes day to day life here much easier.
  • Our team also speak Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese, Polish and Dutch!

If working at some of the coolest tracks in the world, with some of the best sportscars currently in production sounds interesting you can send your CV (in English) to: jonathan@rsrnurburg.com
