Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in our SMR Division - a new era of mobile repair.
* A competitive base salary of £40,178, with on-target earnings of up to £52,000.

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 call‑outs, no unpredictable shift patterns and no roadside 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
SMR is structured, so you’re not reacting to breakdowns – you’re delivering planned work that you can prepare for.
From day one, you will have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. Use your technical skill and problem‑solving ability to get people moving again – safely, quickly and confidently.
Benefits
* Earnings that motivate – enjoy a 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 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.
* 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 That Matters – enjoy 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays. We also support work‑life balance with paid family leave and flexible schedules.
* Financial Security & Perks – pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions plus life assurance cover up to 4× salary (10× optional with flex benefits).
* Wellbeing That Works for You – 24/7 confidential support service available to you and household members aged 16+.
* Extras That Make a Difference – access Orange Savings, our discount portal with deals across retailers, holidays, tools, tech and more. After passing probation, you automatically join our Colleague Share Scheme.
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 6 points.
Who Thrives Here?
You’re more than just great with tools – you’re great with people. Our Mobile Mechanics are the face of the RAC, working on driveways, in car parks, speaking directly with members and providing reassurance, clarity and high‑quality service. You enjoy independence, problem‑solving and real variety – each job is different. From servicing and diagnostics to in‑depth repairs and reporting, you’re hands‑on, adaptable and confident making decisions on the spot. You take pride in using your technical ability to genuinely help people and keep them moving.
Is This Role Ideal For You?
* Independence in a mobile role.
* The stability and support of a trusted national organisation.
* Ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills.
* A role where giving members complete peace of mind is part of what you do.
