Northampton, Northamptonshire – Up to £50k per annum. Full Time. Posted by: RAC. Posted: Friday, 19 December 2025. Join the RAC. Together, we’re going places.

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 — your own RAC van, fuel card, full uniform, essential tools, and diagnostic kit all provided. Think independence, career progression, and real work‑life balance — with a 40‑hour week that keeps you moving and out of the same four walls. The RAC has been a trusted name for over 125 years, combining our heritage with bold innovation. Now’s the time to join a company that’s redefining roadside repair. If you’re a skilled, practical mechanic looking to be part of something big, this is for you.

Responsibilities

• You’re someone who gets people. 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. You’re not just in the RAC – you are the RAC. Every fix, every chat, every driveway visit shows what we’re all about.
• You like mixing things up. Every day’s a little different – servicing, diagnostics, repairs, and checks. You’ll also manage your stock, do your reporting, and keep those customer conversations flowing.
• You think on your feet. You’ll be trusted to think on your feet and make the right call for each customer. Different fixes, different faces, new challenges every day.

• 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.
• 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.
• Financial Security & Perks – pension scheme with up to 6.5 % matched contributions alongside life assurance cover up to 4× salary (10× optional with flex benefits).
