Mobile Vehicle Technician

About The Role

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.

• 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.

• 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 – Enjoy a market‑competitive base salary of £45,370, with the opportunity to increase your earnings up to £57,000 through bonuses and premium‑rate overtime. A 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.
• Tools to Drive Your Future – Get started with a free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one, plus access to a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months, delivering serious tax savings.
• Time Off That Matters – Enjoy 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays. We also support work‑life balance with 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 alongside life assurance cover up to 4× salary (10× optional with flex benefits).
• Wellbeing That Works for You – Our 24/7 confidential support service is available to you and household members aged 16+, offering reassurance whenever you need it.
• Extras That Make a Difference – Access Orange Savings, our exclusive discount portal with deals across top retailers, holidays, tools, tech, and more. After passing probation, you’ll automatically join our 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.

• Perform routine servicing and scheduled repair tasks according to a digital schedule.
• Use advanced diagnostic tools to identify and repair issues within a mobile environment.
• Provide member advice and safety checks aligned to RAC standards.
• Maintain vehicle safety and compliance during all service activities.
