About The Role

Join the RAC. Together, we're going places.

Feeling stuck? Join us for a career that gives you freedom, progression and a great work-life balance. Enjoy the benefits of a 40-hour week, without the boredom of the same four walls.

RAC Mobile Mechanics bring their technical expertise to our customers' doors. They do car services, repairs and diagnostics at customers' homes or workplaces. And we've got a fantastic opportunity for skilled, field-based vehicle technicians to join our rapidly growing team.

We bring the van, tools and bookings - you bring your personality, customer-service and experience.

You'll have the full support of a network of other mobile mechanics, roadside technicians, in-house experts and RAC professionals. Plus, enjoy ongoing training and the potential to progress your career.

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

You're a friendly face. One of the best things about this job? You're not a faceless worker in a garage. You'll be interacting with customers at every appointment - answering questions, giving advice and representing the RAC.

You love variety. You'll be carrying out services, diagnostics, repairs and checks on people's driveways. But the job's about so much more. Stock, reporting and talking to customers - it's all down to you.

You can think on your feet. We trust our mechanics to make the best decisions for our customers. You'll be dealing with a variety of fixes, fixing all kinds of problems, and meeting different people every day.

You'll need:

• A level 2 light vehicle maintenance qualification (or equivalent).
• A minimum of 3 years practical experience as a vehicle technician in the motor trade working with different types of light vehicles.
• A full UK driving licence with less than 6 points.
