Mobile Vehicle Technician

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 of up to £52,000. A guaranteed overtime option to increase your base salary to £44,385, 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.

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 or 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, 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 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

• 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

Earnings That Motivate

• Market‑competitive base salary of £40,170, with the opportunity to increase your earnings up to £52,000 through bonuses and premium‑rate overtime
• Full‑time 40‑hour week, with Monday–Saturday availability (8 am–8 pm) offers flexibility and stability

Opt‑in Guaranteed Overtime

• After your 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 on top of your base salary. Two extra days could give you an extra £5,000 – it’s your choice, more flexibility, more reward.

Tools to Drive Your Future

• Free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one
• Access to a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months, delivering serious tax savings

Time Off That Matters

• 23 days of holiday, rising to 25 with service, plus bank holidays
• Paid family leave, flexible schedules and practical resources to help navigate personal commitments

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 That Works for You

• 24/7 confidential support service available to you and household members aged 16+

Extras That Make a Difference

• Access to Orange Savings, our exclusive discount portal with deals across top retailers, holidays, tools, tech and more
• After passing probation, you’ll automatically join the Colleague Share Scheme, giving you a stake in our collective success

You’re more than just great with tools – you’re great with people. Our Mobile Mechanics are 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. From servicing and diagnostics to in‑depth repairs and reporting, 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

At the RAC, we don’t stand still. 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.

We celebrate individuality and champion every voice. As an equal‑opportunities employer, we welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life – it’s what sets us apart and drives us forward.
