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 £40,170, 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.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

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.

• 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
