Motorsport Wiring & Electronics Technician
Position Overview
Projx Racing is seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Motorsport Wiring & Electronics Technician with proven experience in professional motorsport harness construction, vehicle electronics, ECU integration and electrical diagnostics.
This is not a standard automotive electrician position. The successful candidate must have practical experience producing reliable, serviceable and professional motorsport wiring systems for performance and race vehicles.
The technician will be responsible for managing each wiring project from the initial vehicle assessment and material estimate through harness construction, installation, testing, commissioning and final delivery.
Working Hours
Regular working hours are:
7:00 AM to 12:00 PM
1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
The candidate must be flexible when required for dyno testing, urgent project completion, vehicle commissioning and race-day support. Race events may require work outside regular workshop hours.
Working Conditions
The technician will be provided with:
- A dedicated, organised and properly equipped work area for motorsport harness construction
- Suitable harness-building tools, testing equipment and workshop resources
- A helper to assist with preparation, vehicle access, material handling and general support
- Access to the workshop, in-house dyno and race vehicles
- Access to approved company vendors and suppliers for purchasing wiring materials and components
The position will involve a combination of:
- Dedicated bench-based harness construction
- Hands-on vehicle installation
- Workshop diagnostics and repairs
- Dyno testing and commissioning
- On-site diagnostics and technical work
- Race-track support during official race days

Documentation and Quality Control
- Produce accurate wiring diagrams, pinout records and connector documentation
- Label harnesses, connectors, fuses, relays and circuits correctly
- Maintain records of materials used and work completed
- Test every circuit before vehicle startup and final delivery
- Ensure all wiring is protected from heat, vibration, fluids, abrasion and movement
- Ensure the completed installation is neat, professional and easy to service
- Minimise rework by completing every task correctly the first time
- Keep the dedicated harness-building area clean, organised and properly stocked
Delivery and Time Management
Precise and on-time delivery is an essential requirement of this position.
