Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician!

Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey with the RAC's Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) Division? This is not just any role; it's a chance to be part of a new era in mobile repair, where your skills will shine and your contributions will be valued.

Why Choose Us?

At the RAC, we’re known for our roadside rescue, but our SMR division is redefining the game. Say goodbye to emergency callouts and unpredictable shifts! Here, you’ll deliver planned, structured repairs and servicing directly to our members, whether at their driveway or workplace car park.

Your Role in a Nutshell

As a Mobile Vehicle Technician, you’ll enjoy:

  • Routine servicing and diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment.
  • In-depth repairs that you’d typically complete in a workshop.
  • Member advice and recommendations based on your inspections.
  • Vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards.

Your day starts with a clear digital schedule, ensuring you have the time, tools, and support to deliver quality work. You’ll be equipped with a fully stocked RAC van, fuel card, uniform, and a complete tool set from day one!

What Makes SMR Unique?

Our technicians love working in SMR for several reasons:

  • Planned appointments instead of emergency responses.
  • Consistent workflow without unpredictable demands.
  • In-depth repairs rather than temporary fixes.
  • Time to do the job right, with built-in support and parts ordering.
  • Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform.

What You’ll Need

To thrive in this role, you should have:

  • A Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent).
  • A minimum of 2 years’ experience as a vehicle technician working on light vehicles.
  • A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points.

No CV is required to apply, and it only takes 5 minutes to start your journey with us!

Benefits That Go the Extra Mile

As a Mobile Mechanic at the RAC, you’ll enjoy:

  • Competitive Salary: A base salary of £40,170, with potential earnings up to £52,000 through bonuses and overtime.
  • Guaranteed Overtime: After your first month, opt to work extra days at £30 per hour, giving you the flexibility to boost your earnings.
  • Tools to Drive Your Future: Enjoy a free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one and access to a car salary sacrifice scheme after 12 months.
  • Time Off That Matters: 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays, and support for work-life balance.
  • Financial Security: A pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions and life assurance cover.
  • Wellbeing Support: 24/7 confidential support service for you and your household members.
  • Exclusive Discounts: Access to our Orange Savings portal with deals across top retailers.
  • Colleague Share Scheme: After passing probation, you’ll have a stake in our collective success.

Who Thrives Here?

We’re looking for individuals who are not just great with tools, but also excel in connecting with people. As a Mobile Mechanic, you’ll be the face of the RAC, providing reassurance and high-quality service directly to our members. If you enjoy independence, problem-solving, and variety in your work, this role is perfect for you!
