Job Description
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 directly to our members, whether at their driveway or workplace car park.
Your Rewarding Role
As a Mobile Vehicle Technician, you’ll enjoy:
*
Competitive Base Salary: Start with a base salary of £40,178, with potential on-target earnings of up to £52,000.
*
Guaranteed Overtime: Increase your base salary to £44,385 with guaranteed overtime options, plus additional overtime and bonus opportunities.
*
Structured Work Hours: Work 40 hours per week, with core hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and just 1 in 4 Saturdays.
What to Expect
Your day begins with a clear digital schedule, where each job is pre-booked and waiting for you. You’ll be responsible for:
* Routine servicing
* Advanced diagnostics using cutting-edge mobile equipment
* In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop
* Providing member advice and recommendations based on your inspections
* Conducting vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
With SMR, you won’t be reacting to breakdowns; you’ll be delivering planned work with the time and tools you need to excel.
Why Choose SMR?
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 roadside 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
To thrive in this role, you should have:
* A 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!

*
Opt-in Guaranteed Overtime: After your first month, choose to work extra days at £30 per hour. Just one extra day a month could earn you an additional £3,000 per year!

Tools to Drive Your Future: Start with a free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service and access to a car salary sacrifice scheme after 12 months.
*
Time Off That Matters: Enjoy 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service) plus bank holidays, and flexible schedules to support your work-life balance.
