Assistant Operations Manager – Donington Park

We are seeking an Assistant Operations Manager to work alongside the Venue Manager managing and developing Donington Park circuit in Leicestershire.   A bright and driven individual, the Assistant Operations Manager must motivate and contribute to the leadership of the venue team.

Critical qualities are strong organisational skills, the ability to cope under pressure and meet tight deadlines.  A winning mentality and meticulous attention to detail are essential and as part of the events industry, being prepared to work at weekends and on bank holidays during the season is a must.

This is a new position within the Donington Park team and will primarily involve the organisation and provision of facilities for our customers attending events. This is predominantly paying spectators at large International and National race events, such as rounds of the British and World Superbike Championships and the British Touring Car Championship, but also encompasses visiting racing clubs, trackday organisers and other venue users.

Successful candidates will ideally have three or more years’ industry experience, preferably experience of running an event or motorsport team, a good understanding of health and safety legislation, and the ability to deliver a first class event however big or small. Familiarity in dealing with subcontractors and support services, including police, fire, and the local authorities including the local EHO would all be extremely valuable.
