Mobile Vehicle Technician - Barnet
Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in our SMR Division!
Welcome to a new era of mobile repair!
As part of our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division, you’ll be delivering planned, structured repairs directly to our members—right from their driveway to their workplace car park. Say goodbye to emergency callouts and unpredictable shifts! Here, you’ll have the time, tools, and support to do quality work.
What We Offer:
- Competitive Salary: Enjoy a base salary of £45,378 (including London Weighting Allowance, if applicable), with on-target earnings of up to £57,000.
- Guaranteed Overtime: Increase your base salary to £44,385 with guaranteed overtime options, plus additional overtime and bonus opportunities.
- Work Schedule: 40 hours per 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 Barnet cluster, covering areas like Barnet, Finchley, Totteridge, Whetstone, Hendon, and Golders Green. Enjoy the freedom of working in your local area with a clearly planned schedule of appointments—no reactive callouts, just organized, pre-booked work!
Your Daily Experience:
Your day starts with a clear digital schedule, where each job is pre-booked and the member is expecting you. You’ll carry out:
- Routine servicing
- Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
- In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop
- Member advice and recommendations based on your inspections
- Vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
With SMR, you’re not reacting to breakdowns; you’re delivering planned work that you can prepare for. From day one, you’ll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set, and advanced diagnostics.

- Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
- Consistent workflow without unpredictable demands
- In-depth repairs, not just roadside temporary fixes
- Time to do the job properly, with built-in support and parts ordering

This role is perfect for technicians who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.

- A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
