Mobile Vehicle Technician

Overview

You’ll be part of the Barnsley/Doncaster cluster, covering areas such as Barnsley, Doncaster, Mexborough, Conisbrough, Thorne, Askern, Bentley, Goldthorpe, and Wath-upon-Dearne. You’ll work on a clearly planned schedule of appointments—no reactive callouts, just organised, pre‑booked work where you can focus on doing the job properly.

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 that would normally be done in a workshop, member advice and recommendations based on your inspection, and vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards. Because SMR is structured, you’ll not be 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’re hands‑on, adaptable and confident, making decisions on the spot, and take pride in using your technical ability to genuinely help people and keep them moving.
