  • Ensure fire, evacuation, first aid, and incident procedures are followed

Operations & Administration

  • Liaise with engineering on kart safety, maintenance, and testing records
  • Oversee stock control, purchasing, and budget‑aware ordering
  • Ensure correct money handling procedures are followed
  • Maintain accurate documentation and reporting to GM, Ops, and HR

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience in a management or team leadership role
  • Strong operational awareness and confident decision‑making
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and customer‑facing skills
  • Experience in customer service or live operational environments
  • Confidence in public speaking and leading teams
  • Strong attention to detail and professional standards
  • Computer literate, including MS Office
  • First Aid at Work qualification (or willingness to maintain certification)
