Because SMR is structured, you’re not reacting to breakdowns – you’re delivering planned work that you can prepare for.

You’re more than just great with tools – you’re great with people. 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.

We are an equal‑opportunities employer and welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life.
