Instead, you’ll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work. \n \n What to expect \n Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre‑booked, with the member expecting you. You’ll carry out: \n - Routine servicing \n - Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment \n - In‑depth repairs you’d normally complete in a workshop \n - Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection \n - Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards \n And because SMR is structured, you’re not reacting to breakdowns - you’re delivering planned work that you can prepare for. \n 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. \n Why SMR is different (and why techs love it) \n - Planned appointments instead of emergency responses \n - Consistent workflow instead of unpredictable demands \n - In‑depth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes \n - Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in \n - Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform \n It’s the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol. \n What you’ll need Either: 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 \n \n No CV required when you apply and it takes just 5 minutes – it's easier than ever to start your journey with us. \n \n As a Mobile Mechanic at the RAC, you’ll get benefits that go the extra mile: \n \n Earnings That Motivate - enjoy a market-competitive base salary of £40,170, with the opportunity to increase your earnings up to £52,000 through bonuses and premium-rate overtime. A full-time 40-hour week, with Monday–Saturday availability (8am–8pm), offers flexibility and stability \n Opt-in Guaranteed Overtime - after your first month, you can choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour. Just 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. It's your choice - more flexibility, more reward. \n 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. \n 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. \n Financial Security & Perks - pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions alongside life assurance cover up to 4x salary (10x optional with flex benefits), designed to support you long-term. \n 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. \n Extras That Make a Difference - access Orange Savings, our exclusive discount portal with deals across top retailers, holidays, tools, tech and more.
