Job Description
Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in our SMR Division!
Welcome to a new era of mobile repair! At the RAC, we’re not just about roadside rescue; we’re pioneering a fresh approach with our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division. Here, you’ll deliver structured repair and servicing directly to our members, right from their driveway to their workplace car park.
Your Rewarding Role Awaits
As a Mobile Vehicle Technician, you’ll enjoy:
*
Competitive Base Salary: Start with a base salary of £45,378 (inclusive of London Weighting Allowance, if applicable), with on-target earnings of up to £57,000.
*
Guaranteed Overtime: Opt-in for guaranteed overtime to boost your earnings, plus additional overtime and bonus opportunities.
*
Structured Hours: Work 40 hours a week, with core hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and just 1 in 4 Saturdays.
What Makes SMR Unique?
In our SMR division, you’ll experience:
* No emergency callouts or unpredictable shift patterns.
* A scheduled list of jobs, allowing you to focus on quality work.
* Time and tools to deliver in-depth repairs, not just temporary fixes.
Your Work Environment
You’ll be part of the Slough cluster, covering areas like Slough, Windsor, Maidenhead, and more. Enjoy the freedom of working in your local area with a clearly planned schedule of appointments.

* Routine servicing
* Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
* In-depth repairs typically done in a workshop

* Vehicle safety checks aligned with RAC standards
From day one, you’ll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set, and advanced diagnostics.
Why Technicians Love SMR

* Consistent workflow with no unpredictable demands.
* Time to do the job properly, with built-in support and parts ordering.
* Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform.
