Maintenance/Cleaning
Automotive Mechanic, Automotive Technician
You ll be part of the Stevenage cluster, covering areas like Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City, Welwyn Garden City, Hertford. 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.
What to expect
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.
Why SMR is different (and why techs love it)
- 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.
