Compound Manager (Sport Signage)

The Compound Manager is responsible for setting up, operating and demobilising the Sport Signage compound at assigned Formula 1 events. The compound serves as the operational base supporting installation, off-track build, logistics and event teams with controlled access to equipment, materials, working areas and support resources. While the Operations Manager remains accountable for the event as a whole, the Compound Manager owns compound setup, operation, standards and associated resources.

• Plan pre-event compound requirements by understanding event requirements, venue constraints, access windows and the expected compound footprint
• Plan layout for storage, work areas, vehicle access, equipment staging, waste and team support
• Confirm infrastructure, equipment, signage, lighting/power interfaces and other support requirements with the Operations Manager.
• Lead compound setup in line with the event programme, ensuring it is operationally ready before installation and build teams depend on it, and establish clear zones, access routes, storage areas and housekeeping standards.
• Maintain an orderly, safe and functional compound throughout the event by coordinating access, internal movements, storage discipline, equipment staging and daily reset/housekeeping, and ensuring high-priority items are accessible and event delivery is supported rather than slowed.
• Work with Inventory & Asset Management to understand what has been issued to the event, maintain practical control and visibility of assets within the compound without replacing central inventory ownership, report shortages, damage, loss and discrepancies quickly
• And support reconciliation on return.
• Coordinate unloading, loading, vehicle access, temporary staging and handover points with Logistics, work with Fleet Management where event vehicles are based, handed over or supported from the compound, and avoid uncontrolled vehicle movements and unnecessary double handling.
• Support Installation and Off-Track Build Leads with efficient access to materials, tools, plant and storage, coordinate competing compound requirements through the Operations Manager where necessary, and maintain separation between compound management and specialist workstream ownership.
• Maintain visibility of operational consumables and raise replenishment needs early, establish practical waste segregation and removal arrangements in line with event requirements, and keep work and storage areas clean, accessible and presentable.
• Implement applicable site rules, traffic controls, equipment storage standards, PPE and housekeeping requirements, identify unsafe storage, blocked access, uncontrolled movements or other compound risks and correct or escalate them
• And support secure access and control of Sport Signage equipment within the limits of the event setup.
• Maintain awareness of compound-related constraints and advise the Operations Manager of issues affecting delivery, provide accurate information to the Event & Project Assistant for records and post-event reporting where required
• And escalate shortages or failures that cannot be resolved within allocated compound resources.
• Plan orderly pack-down, asset segregation, waste clearance and loading sequence, return the area in the condition required by the venue and support accurate asset reconciliation, and capture lessons on layout, equipment, access, storage and compound support for future races.

• Experience in event compounds, warehouses, logistics bases, site operations or a comparable practical environment.
• Experience coordinating equipment, materials, access and small teams.
• Strong practical organisation and housekeeping discipline.
• Confidence working around vehicles, plant and temporary event infrastructure.
• Compound/site organisation.
• Storage and equipment staging.
• Practical logistics coordination.
• Team supervision and task allocation.
• Health and safety awareness and housekeeping.
• Problem solving, communication and basic record keeping.

• Live-event or motorsport experience is advantageous.
