Where you'll work

You'll be part of the Heathrow cluster, covering areas like Heathrow Airport area, Hounslow, Feltham, Hayes, Southall, Twickenham, Sunbury-on-Thames, Staines. 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.

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. 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.

From day one, you'll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. You'll use your technical skill and problem-solving ability to get people moving again; safely, quickly and confidently.

• 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.

Either:
