Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in our SMR Division – a new era of mobile repair.

• A competitive base salary of £40,170, with on‑target earnings of up to £52,000

The RAC is known for roadside rescue – but this isn’t that. The 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 roadside recoveries. Instead, you’ll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work.

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.

• 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

• Market‑competitive base salary of £40,170 with opportunity to increase earnings up to £52,000 through bonuses and premium‑rate overtime. A full‑time 40‑hour week, with Monday‑Saturday availability (8 am–8 pm), 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 on top of your base salary. Two extra days could give you an extra £5,000.
• Tools – you get a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. 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, delivering serious tax savings.
• Time off – enjoy 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays. We also support work‑life balance with paid family leave, flexible schedules, and practical resources to help navigate personal commitments.
• Pension and Perks – pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions alongside life assurance cover up to 4x salary (10x optional with flex benefits), designed to support you long‑term.
• Wellbeing – our 24/7 confidential support service is available to you and household members aged 16+, offering reassurance whenever you need it.
• Extras – access Orange Savings, our exclusive discount portal with deals across top retailers, holidays, tools, tech and more. After passing probation, you’ll automatically join our Colleague Share Scheme, giving you a stake in our collective success.

As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life – it’s what sets us apart and drives us forward.
