Join the RAC. Together, we’re going places. A competitive base salary of £38,625, with on-target earnings of up to £50,000. A guaranteed overtime option to increase your base salary to £44,385, plus additional overtime and bonus opportunities. 40 hours per week, with core hours 8:30am‑5pm, and 1 in 4 Saturdays.

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.

Think independence, career progression, and real work‑life balance – a 40‑hour week that keeps you moving and out of the same four walls.

We’re a trusted name for over 125 years, combining 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.

No CV required when you apply – it’s easier than ever to start your journey with us. As a Mobile Mechanic, you’ll get benefits that go the extra mile:

• Competitive base salary of £38,625, with up to £50,000 in bonuses and premium‑rate overtime.
• Full‑time 40‑hour week, Monday‑Saturday availability (8am‑8pm).
• Opt‑in guaranteed overtime – after your first month you can choose extra rest days at £30 per hour.
• Free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one; car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months.
• 23 days holiday (up to 25 with service) + bank holidays; paid family leave, flexible schedules, work‑life balance support.
• Pension scheme up to 6.5% matched contributions, life assurance cover up to 4× salary (10× optional with flex benefits).
• 24/7 confidential support service for you and household members aged 16+.
• Exclusive discount portal – Orange Savings, deals across retailers, holidays, tools, tech.
• After passing probation you automatically join the Colleague Share Scheme.

Sound like your kind of role? Here’s what we’re after:

• You get people. You’re not just spanners – you chat with customers, give advice, represent RAC with pride.
• You like mixing things up. Every day’s a little different – servicing, diagnostics, repairs, checks – and you manage stock, report, keep conversations flowing.
• You think on your feet. You’ll be trusted to decide the right call for each customer.

What you’ll need:

• Level 2 light vehicle maintenance qualification (or equivalent).
• At least 3 years’ hands‑on experience as a vehicle technician working with a range of light vehicles.
• A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points.

As an equal opportunities employer, we welcome every background, champion every voice and back your growth every step of the way. At the RAC, individuality fuels innovation and you’re invited to bring your full self to it.
