Mobile Vehicle Technician
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.
Why SMR is different (and why techs love it)- 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.
