Careers
Overview
The Safety Patrol plays a critical role in hosting epic motorsport events here at the Racing Capital of the World. In fact, none of these events are possible without our dedicated “Yellow Shirt” workforce.
This team is responsible for the essential event operations that span our 988-acre facility and helps us deliver some of the most exciting events in the world. Operating eight key areas, there is always room in our ranks for new members. Whether you are interested in working at the gates, in the stands or garages, directing traffic or assisting in suites, each role is crucial to the event's success and enhances the experience of thousands.
Belonging
As a member of the Safety Patrol, you are really joining a family of event staff that work to take care of each other and IMS guests. There are many members of Safety Patrol that come back year over year and travel hundreds of miles to work with the friends they have made here. Our ranks are diverse, with members ranging from retired corporate executives to professional event workers, but we all share pride in belonging to this unique fraternity.
Pride
Very few venues have what we have; an internal group of event staff that are beyond committed to executing world-class events. These events would not be possible without the tireless dedication of our Yellow Shirt workforce. The Safety Patrol is often the first and last encounter our guests have with IMS and it can be rare to experience a staff that takes so much ownership and pride in that role. We are certain that when we are recognized as one of the best venues to host events, it is because of the exceptional work of the Safety Patrol.
