Working for Whincup could get your motor running

IF THE beefy grunt of V8s around Surfers Paradise has made you keen to rev up your career, Jamie Whincup has the job for you.

The 106-time Supercars race winner is chasing a manager for his Gold Coast business Washed For Cars – and is willing to pay up to $75,000 a year to the right applicant.

The greatest ever championship driver is quick to stress this is a position for a genuine, motivated, hardworking manager and that being a Supercars fan is not a critical skill for the role.

“The person I’m looking for is already running a mowing franchise or something and is not very satisfied but doesn’t have the capital to run their own business,” he told the Gold Coast Bulletin. “It’s a milliondollar car washing business, with 20 staff – I want someone who is keen to take the reins and make it their own.”

Whincup, who is quite possibly at this moment travelling at 260km/h, said the challenge of finding good management was a big one.

“I think many business owners can relate to the challenges of finding good people for management roles,” he said.

“Recruitment is such a time-consuming task, and anyone that can afford to put on a recruitment manager is clearly charging the customer too much.”
