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; we’re pioneering a fresh approach with our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division. Here, you’ll deliver planned, structured repairs directly to our members, whether at their driveway or workplace car park.

  • Locations: Opportunities available in the South West, including Bath, Bournemouth, Bristol, and more!

Your Daily Adventure Awaits!

  • Perform routine servicing and diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment.
  • Conduct in-depth repairs typically done in a workshop.
  • Provide valuable advice and recommendations to our members.
  • Carry out vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards.

With a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, and tools at your disposal, you’ll have everything you need to deliver quality service and get people moving safely and confidently.

What Makes SMR Unique?

  • Planned appointments instead of emergency responses.
  • Consistent workflow with time to do the job right.

This role is perfect for technicians seeking variety and independence without the reactive nature of traditional patrol work.

  • 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.

  • Financial Security & Perks: Benefit from a pension scheme with matched contributions and life assurance cover.
  • Wellbeing That Works for You: Access our 24/7 confidential support service for you and your household.
