Overview

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

  • A competitive base salary of £40,170, with on-target earnings of up to £52,000
  • A guaranteed overtime option to increase your base salary, plus additional overtime and bonus opportunities
  • 40 hours per week, with core hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and 1 in 4 Saturdays.
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

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.

What you’ll need
  • 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

No CV required when you apply and it takes just 5 minutes - it's easier than ever to start your journey with us.

Benefits and rewards
  • 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. A full-time 40-hour week, with Monday-Saturday availability (8am-8pm), offers flexibility and stability
  • Opt-in guaranteed overtime - after your first month, you can choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour. Just 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 to drive your future - free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one, plus 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. Support for work-life balance with paid family leave, flexible schedules, and practical resources for personal commitments
  • Financial security & perks - pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions alongside life assurance cover up to 4x salary (10x optional with flex benefits)
  • Wellbeing that works for you - 24/7 confidential support service for you and household members aged 16+
  • Extras that make a difference - access to discounts on holidays, tools, tech and more. After passing probation, you’ll join our Colleague Share Scheme
Who thrives here?

You’re 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. 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.

What this role offers
  • 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

We’re the RAC. 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 and we’re committed to career growth, recognition, and support. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
