About The Role
Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in our SMR Division - a new era of mobile repair.

Where you’ll work
You’ll be part of the Trowbridge cluster, covering areas like Bath, Frome, Radstock, Shepton Mallet. You’ll be out 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.
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 road-side 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.
As a Mobile Mechanic at the RAC, you’ll get benefits that go the extra mile

* Opt-in Guaranteed Overtime - after your first month, you can choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour
* Tools to Drive Your Future - a free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one, plus access to a car salary sacrifice scheme after 12 months, delivering tax savings
* Time Off That Matters - 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays, with support for work-life balance and family leave

You’re hands-on, adaptable and confident making decisions on the spot, and you take pride in helping people stay mobile.
The role is ideal if you want
* Independence in a mobile role

* Ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills
* A role where giving members complete peace of mind is simply part of what you do
