Mobile Vehicle Technician

You'll be part of the Hemel Hempstead cluster, covering areas like Hemel Hempstead, Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Harpenden, St Albans, Luton, Tring, Amersham, Rickmansworth, Chorleywood. You'll be out on the road in your local area, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments - no reactive callouts, just organised, pre booked work where you can focus on doing the job properly. 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 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.

• 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

• Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
• Consistent workflow instead of unpredictable demands
• In depth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes
• Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in
• Clear schedules using RAC's mobile service platform

It's the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.

• NVQ Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) with 2+ years' experience or 5+ years' experience as a Vehicle Technician/Mechanic
• A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
• Investing in your technical development - At the RAC, we're committed to technical excellence. Whether you join us with formal qualifications or extensive hands-on experience, all technicians follow the same structured development pathway, combining practical learning with ongoing support and the opportunity to work towards industry-recognised accreditation.

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.

• 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 simply part of what you do

At the RAC, we don't stand still. With over 125 years of history and 12.5 million members, we're on a mission to become the UK's number one motoring services provider. Our culture reflects that ambition - backed by a 4.5-star Glassdoor rating, our people know we're serious about career growth, recognition, and support. We celebrate individuality and champion every voice. 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.
