A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR
The RAC is known for roadside rescue – but SMR is different. The Service, Maintenance & Repair division is a newer, fast‑growing part built to deliver planned, structured repair and servicing directly to members – from their driveway to their workplace car park. There are no emergency callouts or roadside recoveries. Instead, you’ll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work.
What to Expect
Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre‑booked, with the member expecting you. You’ll carry out:
* Routine servicing
* Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
* In‑depth repairs normally performed in a workshop
* Member advice and recommendations based on inspections
* Vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
Because SMR is structured, 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.
What You’ll Need
* Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
* Minimum 2 years’ experience as a vehicle technician working on light vehicles
* A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
Benefits
* Competitive earnings (base £40,170, up to £52,000 with bonuses and overtime). Full‑time 40‑hour week, Monday–Saturday availability (8 am‑8 pm).
* Opt‑in guaranteed overtime after first month (choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour).
* Tool kit and free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one; access to a salary‑sacrifice scheme after 12 months.
* 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays; paid family leave and flexible schedules.
* Pension scheme with up to 6.5 % matched contributions; life assurance cover up to 4 × salary (optional 10 × salary with flex benefits).
* 24/7 confidential wellbeing support service for you and household members aged 16 +.
* Access to Orange Savings portal, exclusive discounts, and after probation automatically join Colleague Share Scheme.
