Where you'll work: You'll be part of the Maidstone cluster, covering areas like Maidstone, Medway (Chatham, Gillingham, Rochester, Strood), Sittingbourne, Sheerness, Snodland. 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.
A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR. 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.
What to expect: 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.
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:
- 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.
Additional Benefits:
- Guaranteed Overtime - after your first month, you can choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour.
- Access to a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months.
- Enjoy 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays.
- Pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions alongside life assurance cover up to 4x salary.
- 24/7 confidential support service available to you and household members aged 16+.
- Access to Orange Savings, our exclusive discount portal with deals across top retailers.
Who thrives here? 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 carparks, 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.
