Working as part of our Outdoor Test team, Pirelli Tyres would like to recruit a Test Ride and Handling Assessor, working 5 days per week, Monday to Friday.
The ideal candidate will have good driving skills and sensitivity. A background in driving and/or vehicle dynamics is preferable (training to the Pirelli standard will be provided).
As an integral member of the tyre test team, you will be responsible for performing subjective and objective evaluations [car and SUV]. You will perform internal Pirelli testing as well as attending testing sessions with OE customers [which could involve frequent travel to proving grounds abroad]. Main duties include:
- Perform in-vehicle subjective and objective appraisals [car and SUV] which could include dry handling / wet handling / winter handling / ride comfort / noise / wet grass etc.
- Ensure integrity of results, and the overall professionalism of the activities.
- Ensure the required outdoor test activities are performed properly and on-time [working closely with the timings of internal (Pirelli engineers) and external customers].
- Support the development of new test methodologies and work instructions.
- Purchases associated with the activity [Tyre weights, fitting soaps, PPE, car cleaning products].
- Ensure the vehicles are kept to a high standard [cleanliness, condition, and service record], and keep them up to date w.r.t. their service schedules etc.
Strong planning and organisation skills are essential, along with the ability to demonstrate experience of working with multiple projects. Adaptability and flexibility are also a requirement for this role.
