I would love to join the Fanatec employee team but I'm in New York... If you ever need a New York Fanatec Rep/Connection I would be more than happy join the Fanatec business team.
:-bd
can you please contact Kennet and ask him if he is interested? If yes. he should send his documents as described above.
Interestingly, I have just returned from my honeymoon in Germany (F1) and said to my other half (while we were there) that I would love to live there
Currently, I assist Fanatec with beta testing (on holiday/honeymoon at the moment), and have a great working relationship with the team. Working in sim racing is something both my partner and I would like to achieve, moving forward.
The job descriptions sound like a dream come true, and I have no doubt that we both have the skills and qualifications required to fulfil these roles.
With that said, a relocation for us (with children) would not be easy, so until fanatec need remote workers, I don't think I can apply
Between us we are Registered Prince2 Practitioners (I.T Project Managers) and 6Sigma GreenBelt (soon to be black).
Between us we hold numerous I.T Certifications.
He has around 19 years I.T / PM experience and I have focused on "Continuous Improvement".
We both have experience of full project life-cycles, a proven history of working with world renowned, industry leading organisations on large multi million $ projects, and both focus heavily on quality.
We are both avid SimRacers and gamers, highly technical, highly qualified (and certified) and are huge fans of the Fanatec team, brand, and their work ethic.
I love being a part of the beta testing team, and I hope that relationship will progress into a more permanent role in the future
Always here if you need me Thomas
Let me know if you want more information about this guy ;-)
Best regards
