Mobile Vehicle Technician

Overview

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 up to £52,000, a guaranteed overtime option, and additional overtime and bonus opportunities. The role runs 40 hours per week, with core hours from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and one Saturday in every four.

Each day starts with a clear digital schedule. Every job is pre‑booked, with a member expecting you, and you will carry out the following:

• Routine servicing
• Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
• In‑depth repairs normally completed in a workshop
• Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection
• Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards

SMR is structured, so you are not reacting to breakdowns but delivering planned work that you can prepare for. From day one you will have a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics.

Scheduled appointments instead of emergency responses; consistent workflow; in‑depth repairs; time to do the job properly and supportive parts ordering; clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform – all ideal 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 of experience, or
• 5+ years of experience as a Vehicle Technician/Mechanic.
• Full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points.

Earnings that Motivate – market‑competitive base salary of £40,170, with the opportunity to increase earnings up to £52,000 through bonuses and premium‑rate overtime.

Opt‑in Guaranteed Overtime – after the 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 – free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one and access to a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months.

Time Off That Matters – 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays; paid family leave and flexible schedules.

Financial Security & Perks – pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions, life assurance cover up to 4× salary (10× optional with flex benefits).

Wellbeing – 24/7 confidential support service for you and household members aged 16.

Extras – access to Orange Savings portal with deals across top retailers, holidays, tools, tech and more; after probation you join the Colleague Share Scheme.

Great with tools and people. Mobile Mechanics are the face of the RAC, working on driveways and 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.

Independence in a mobile role; 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.

With over 125 years of history and 12.5 million members, we are on a mission to become the UK’s number one motoring services provider. We celebrate individuality, champion every voice and are an equal‑opportunity employer welcoming people from all backgrounds.
