Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in our SMR Division - a new era of mobile repair.
Overview
The RAC is known for roadside rescue, but this role is different. Our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division delivers planned, structured repair and servicing directly to members at their driveway or workplace. You’ll work through a scheduled list of jobs with all the time, tools and support you need.
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
* Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection
* Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards
Because SMR is structured, you’re not reacting to breakdowns but 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.
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

* Guaranteed Overtime – Opt‑in overtime after the first month, £30 per hour on additional rest days.
* Tools & Equipment – Fully equipped van, diagnostics kit, fuel card and access to a car‑salary‑sacrifice scheme.
* Time Off – 23 days of holiday, rising to 25 with service, plus bank holidays.
* Financial Security – Pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions, life assurance cover up to 4× salary (10× optional).
* Wellbeing Support – 24/7 confidential support service for you and household members aged 16+.
* Extras – Access to Orange Savings discount portal, and share scheme after probation.
Who thrives here
You’re more than just a mechanic; you’re the face of the RAC. You enjoy working on driveways and in car parks, speaking directly with members, and providing reassurance and high‑quality service. Independence, problem‑solving, real variety and confidence in decision‑making are key.
The role is ideal if you want
* Independence in a mobile role
* The stability and support of a trusted national organisation
* Ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills
* Giving members complete peace of mind as part of what you do
As an equal‑opportunity employer, the RAC welcomes people from all backgrounds and walks of life. We celebrate individuality, champion every voice, and are committed to career growth, recognition and support.
