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 £45,370 (inclusive of London Weighting Allowance, if applicable), with on-target earnings of up to £57,000. 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.

You'll be part of the Hemel Hempstead cluster, covering areas like Hemel Hempstead, Dunstable, Houghton Regis, Harpenden, St Albans, Luton, Tring, Amersham, Rickmansworth, Chorleywood. 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.

• NVQ Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) with 2+ years' experience
• 5+ years' experience as a Vehicle Technician/Mechanic
• A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points

Investing in your technical development - At the RAC, we're committed to technical excellence. Whether you join us with formal qualifications or extensive hands-on experience, all technicians follow the same structured development pathway, combining practical learning with ongoing support and the opportunity to work towards industry-recognised accreditation.

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.

Our culture reflects that ambition - backed by a 4.5-star Glassdoor rating, our people know we're serious about career growth, recognition, and support.

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.
