Mobile Vehicle Technician
Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in Our SMR Division!
Welcome to a new era of mobile repair! At the RAC, we’re not just about roadside rescue anymore. Our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a fast-growing team dedicated to delivering planned, structured repairs and servicing directly to our members—right from their driveway to their workplace car park.
Your Role and Responsibilities
As a Mobile Vehicle Technician, you’ll enjoy:
- Routine servicing of vehicles
- Advanced diagnostics using cutting-edge mobile equipment
- In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop
- Member advice based on thorough inspections
- Vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
Your day will start with a clear digital schedule, allowing you to focus on delivering quality work without the unpredictability of emergency callouts. You’ll be out on the road in your local area, covering places like Chesterfield, Mansfield, and Alfreton.
What Makes SMR Unique?
- Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
- Consistent workflow with no unpredictable demands
- Time to do the job properly, with built-in support and parts ordering
- Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform
This is the perfect role for technicians who crave variety and independence without the reactive nature of traditional patrol work.
What You’ll Need
- 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
