Mobile Vehicle Technician - Bournemouth

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 repair 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 and recommendations based on your 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.

What Makes SMR Unique?

Here’s why our technicians love working in SMR:

• 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

This role is perfect for technicians seeking 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

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