Welcome to a New Era of Mobile Repair!
Are you ready to take your career to the next level? At the RAC, we’re not just about roadside rescue; we’re pioneering a fresh approach in our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division. Here, you’ll deliver planned, structured repairs directly to our members, whether they’re at home or work. Say goodbye to unpredictable shifts and emergency callouts—this is your chance to work on a scheduled list of jobs with all the tools and support you need!

- Competitive Salary: Start with a base salary of £40,178, with potential on-target earnings of up to £52,000.
- Guaranteed Overtime: Increase your base salary to £44,385 with guaranteed overtime options, plus additional overtime and bonuses.
- Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a 40-hour work week with core hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and just 1 in 4 Saturdays.
Where You’ll Work:
You’ll be part of the Bridgwater cluster, covering areas like Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea, Weston-super-Mare, Highbridge, and Cheddar. Enjoy the freedom of being on the road in your local area, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments—no reactive callouts, just organized, pre-booked work!
