Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in our SMR Division - a new era of mobile repair.
A competitive base salary of £40,178, with on-target earnings of up to £52,000.
A guaranteed overtime option to increase your base salary to £44,385, 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.
What to expect
Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre‑booked, with the member expecting you.
* 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.
Benefits
* Market‑competitive base salary of £40,170, with the opportunity to increase earnings up to £52,000 through bonuses and premium‑rate overtime. A full‑time 40‑hour week, with Monday–Saturday availability (8 am–8 pm), offers flexibility and stability.
* Opt‑in Guaranteed Overtime: after your first month, you can choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour. One extra day a month could earn you £3 000 more per year on top of your base salary; two extra days could give you an extra £5 000.
* Tools to Drive Your Future: start with a free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one, plus access to a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months, delivering serious tax savings.
* Time Off That Matters: 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays. Work‑life balance support includes paid family leave, flexible schedules, and practical resources to help navigate personal commitments.
* Financial Security & Perks: pension scheme with up to 6.5 % matched contributions alongside life assurance cover up to 4 × salary (10 × optional with flex benefits) designed to support you long‑term.

Who thrives here
* Independence in a mobile role
* The stability and support of a trusted national organisation
* Ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills
* A role where giving members complete peace of mind is simply part of what you do
