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; we’re pioneering a fresh approach in our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division. Here, you’ll deliver planned, structured repairs and servicing directly to our members, whether at their driveway or workplace car park.
Why Choose Us?
As a Mobile Vehicle Technician, you’ll enjoy:
- Competitive Base Salary: Start with a base salary of £45,378 (inclusive of London Weighting Allowance, if applicable) and earn up to £57,000 with on-target earnings.
- Guaranteed Overtime: Increase your earnings with optional overtime and bonus opportunities.
- Structured Work Hours: Work 40 hours a week, with core hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm and 1 in 4 Saturdays.
Your Work Environment
As part of the Holloway cluster, you’ll cover areas like Holloway, Islington, Highbury, Finsbury Park, Camden, and Kentish Town. Enjoy the freedom of being out on the road, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments—no emergency callouts, just organized, pre-booked work!
What to Expect in Your Role
