Join the RAC as a Mobile Vehicle Technician in our SMR Division - a new era of mobile repair. • A competitive base salary of £40,170, with on-target earnings of up to £52,000, • A guaranteed overtime option to increase your base salary, 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. Where you’ll work You’ll be part of the Oxford cluster, covering areas like Oxford, Abingdon, Didcot, Wantage, Witney, Bicester, Thame. 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. 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. Instead, you’ll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work. 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. 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 Investing in your technical development - At the RAC, we're committed to technical excellence. Whether you join us with formal qualifications or extensive hands-on experience, all technicians follow the same structured development pathway, combining practical learning with ongoing support and the opportunity to work towards industry-recognised accreditation.
