Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle
Technician in our SMR Division - a new era of mobile
repair. A
competitive base salary of £40,170, with on-target earnings of up
to £52,000 A guaranteed overtime option to
increase your base salary, plus additional overtime and bonus
opportunities 40 hours per week,
with core hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and 1 in 4
Saturdays. A Different Kind of RAC Role:
Welcome to SMR The RAC is known for roadside
rescue - but this isn’t that. Our
Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a newer,
fast-growing part of the RAC, built to deliver planned, structured
repair and servicing directly to members - from their driveway to
their workplace car park. There are no
emergency callouts, no unpredictable shift patterns and no 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 you’d normally complete in a
workshop - Member advice and recommendations based
on your inspection - Vehicle safety checks aligned
to RAC standards And 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.
You’ll use your technical skill and problem‑solving ability to get
people moving again; safely, quickly and
confidently.
Why SMR is different (and why techs love
it) - 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 support and parts ordering built
in - Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service
platform It’s the ideal role for techs
who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of
Patrol. 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 when you apply
and it takes just 5 minutes – it's easier than ever to start your
journey with us.
