We are seeking skilled, field-based vehicle technicians to join our growing team. We provide the van, tools, and bookings—your part is to bring your personality, customer service skills, and experience.

You will have the full support of a network of other mobile mechanics, roadside technicians, in-house experts, and RAC professionals. Plus, you'll have access to ongoing training and career progression opportunities.

• Full-time hours with overtime paid at premium rates.
• Work pattern of 40 hours weekly, Monday to Saturday, between 8am - 8pm.
• Holiday allowance of 23 days (rising to 25 with service) plus bank holidays.
• Family leave support, including paid time off, flexibility, and resources to help balance work and family commitments.
• Option to join RAC's Group Personal Pension scheme, with company contributions up to 6.5% on qualifying earnings.
• 2x Basic Salary Core Employer Funded Life Assurance cover (4x for pension scheme members), with options to increase coverage through flexible benefits.
• Confidential personal support services available 24/7 for you and family members aged 16+.
• Car salary sacrifice scheme after 12 months, with tax savings and electric vehicle options.
• Free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one.
• Access to discounts on high street retailers, holidays, tech, and more through Orange Savings.

Once past probation, you'll automatically join our Colleague Share Scheme, which grants you a share value that increases as the business grows.

Interested? Here's what we're looking for:

• A friendly face who interacts with customers at every appointment, answering questions, giving advice, and representing the RAC.
• A love for variety—carrying out services, diagnostics, repairs, and checks on driveways, along with stock management, reporting, and customer communication.
• Ability to think on your feet, make decisions for customers, and handle a variety of fixes and problems daily.

You'll need:
