Mobile Vehicle Technician - Bromley

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 repairs directly to our members—right from their driveway to their workplace car park.

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 additional overtime and bonus opportunities.
• Work Schedule: 40 hours per week, with core hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and 1 in 4 Saturdays.

Where You’ll Work:

You’ll be part of the Bromley cluster, covering areas like Bromley, Orpington, Beckenham, and more. Enjoy the freedom of working in your local area with a clearly planned schedule of appointments—no reactive callouts, just organized, pre-booked work where you can focus on delivering quality service.

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 inspection
• Vehicle safety checks aligned to 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.

Why SMR is Different:

• Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
• Consistent workflow instead of unpredictable demands
• In-depth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes
• Time to do the job properly, with built-in support and parts ordering
• Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform

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

What You’ll Need:

Either:

• NVQ Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) with 2+ years’ experience
• or
• 5+ years’ experience as a Vehicle Technician/Mechanic

Plus, a full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points.
