As an RAC Mobile Mechanic in the Service, Maintenance and Repair division, you'll bring expert vehicle maintenance and diagnostic skills directly to our customers, wherever they are. From driveways to office car parks, you'll deliver first‑class service without the constraints of a traditional garage. We'll equip you for success from day one – with your own RAC van, fuel card, full uniform, essential tools and diagnostic kit all provided.

• Opt‑in Guaranteed Overtime – after your first month, you can choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour. One extra day a month could earn you £3,000 more per year on top of your base salary.
• Tools to Drive Your Future – get a free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one and access a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months, delivering serious tax savings.
• 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.

• Extras That Make a Difference – access Orange Savings, our exclusive discount portal with deals across top retailers, holidays, tools, tech and more. After probation, you'll automatically join our Colleague Share Scheme and give yourself a stake in our success.

This isn't just spanners and engines – our mechanics are out there on driveways, chatting with customers, giving advice and representing the RAC with pride. Every fix, every chat, every driveway visit shows what we're all about. Every day is a little different – servicing, diagnostics, repairs and checks. Different fixes, different faces and new challenges every day.
