Responsibilities:

On arrival at the venue you will become part of the team and assist in the set up of hospitality and the garage. Once set up is complete you will give support to the team completing a variety of duties which can include: Night security, cleaning, working in the kitchens, minibus driving etc.

Be interesting to know what the salary would be,quite a bit of duties involved.
Shame about not getting to see any races.

I saw a few episodes of the Stobart TV series and that showed a bit about the guys delivering the F1 cars. Also showed the duties involved for the drivers that were part of the Stobart WRC team. They were pretty busy. As it says above, once they delivered everything, they then helped build the hospitality area and the workshops. Then they were cooking and cleaning for the team and the VIP's.

Sounds like slave labour, and the last job you'd want if you were interested in watching F1.

A couple of years back I met the Stobarts driver who drove the Brawn GP wagon for Jenson Button, I have pics somewhere. He said that the wage was quite a bit above normal Stobarts drivers as they spent about 36 weeks a year away from home. He said that things were very relaxed and that he was treated as part of the team, once he had got the wagon to the track his time was pretty much his own, enjoying all the hospitality of the team, he did watch the races and as a HUGE bonus, because he worked throughout the summer, Brawn GP sent him, his wife and his kids to Mauritius in the off season.

Other than the cargo, if you're interested in F1, it sounds like a crap job to me, Cooking, cleaning and night security? Nah thanks lol

Do they also hire F1 drivers? That would be more like it. Couldn't beat the view at least!

Sound like a right shyte job if you ask me.
Stobarts employ hundreds of drivers ? Why do they need to advertise this roll ?

I would guess 8 months of the year you would be pulling rubber dog shyte out of Felixstowe
