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 anymore. Our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a fast-growing team dedicated to delivering planned, structured repairs directly to our members—whether at their driveway or workplace car park. Say goodbye to emergency callouts and unpredictable shifts! Here, you’ll have the time, tools, and support to do quality work.
What You Can 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
* Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
* In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop
* Providing member advice and recommendations
* Conducting vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
With SMR, you’re not just 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. Use your technical skills and problem-solving abilities to get people moving again—safely, quickly, and confidently!
Why SMR is Different (and Why Technicians Love It)
* Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
* Consistent workflow without unpredictable demands
* In-depth repairs, not just 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 who crave variety and independence without the reactive nature of traditional patrol work.
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
No CV required! Applying takes just 5 minutes—it's easier than ever to start your journey with us.
