About The Position

Kart Mechanic – FAT Karting League (Texas / Travel Role)
We believe the world’s fastest driver hasn’t raced… yet.
At FAT Karting League, our mission is to open up motorsport to the next generation by breaking down barriers to entry. We’re building a competitive, high-quality karting platform for drivers aged 6–17, and we’re looking for mechanics who want to be part of that journey.
Why join us?
This isn’t a back-of-the-garage role. You’ll be working at the heart of a growing race program—preparing karts, supporting live race events, and helping deliver competitive performance on track.
If you’re looking to build a long-term career in motorsport, this is an opportunity to get hands-on experience across all aspects of race operations—not just a narrow role in a large team.
Be part of a fast-growing motorsport startup
Work both in the workshop and trackside at race events
