About the SMR Division
The RAC’s 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. In SMR, 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.
Work Location and Schedule
You will be part of the Bournemouth cluster, covering areas such as Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne, Ringwood, Wareham and Swanage. You’ll be on the road in your local area, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments – no reactive callouts, just organised pre‑booked work where you can focus on doing the job properly.
Responsibilities
* Carry out routine servicing.
* Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment.
* Perform in‑depth repairs normally completed in a workshop.
* Provide member advice and recommendations based on inspection.
* Conduct vehicle safety checks in alignment with RAC standards.
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 base salary and potential earnings up to £52,000, with optional guaranteed overtime.
* Full-time 40-hour week, Monday–Saturday availability (8 am–8 pm) offers flexibility and stability.

* 23 days holiday (rising to 25 after service), plus bank holidays; paid family leave and flexible schedules to support work–life balance.

Why SMR is different (and why techs love it)
Planned appointments provide consistent workflow, in‑depth repairs, and time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in. This role offers variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.
