Overview
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 08:30 a.m. to 05:00 p.m. 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. You’ll carry out routine servicing, diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment, in‑depth repairs normally completed in a workshop, give member advice and recommendations based on your inspection, and perform vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards.
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.
Why SMR is Different (and why technicians 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 two years’ experience as a vehicle technician working on light vehicles
* A full UK driving licence with fewer than six points
No CV required when you apply. It takes just five 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 to Saturday availability (08:00‑20:00), 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.
* 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.
* Time Off – enjoy 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays. We also support work‑life balance with paid family leave, flexible schedules, and practical resources to help navigate personal commitments.
