About the role
Youre more than a mechanic. Youre a problem solver, a people person, and a proud ambassador for the RAC. Whether youre on a busy roadside or a quiet cul‑de‑sac, youre calm under pressure, quick to connect, and confident in your craft.
You embrace flexibility. One moment its fault diagnostics, the next its a flat tyre or a flat battery – no two jobs are the same. Youll manage your own kit, keep your van stocked, and handle your reports with precision. You know how to read a situation. Our Roadside Mechanics are trusted to make the call; find the right fix, support each member, and keep everyone moving. Every call‑out is a chance to showcase the RAC difference.
