Where you'll work
You'll be part of the Stevenage cluster, covering areas like Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth Garden City, Welwyn Garden City, Hertford. 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.
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
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.
NVQ Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) with 2+ years' experience or 5+ years' experience as a Vehicle Technician/Mechanic and A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points
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.
The role is ideal if you want:
- ? Independence in a mobile role
- ? The stability and support of a trusted national organisation
- ? Ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills
- ? A role where giving members complete peace of mind is simply part of what you do
