Think independence, career progression and real work‑life balance – 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, redefining roadside repair. If you’re a skilled, practical mechanic looking to be part of something big, this is for you.

As a Mobile Mechanic at RAC, you’ll get benefits that go the extra mile:

• Earnings: market‑competitive base salary up to £50,000 through bonuses and premium‑rate overtime.
• Opt‑in guaranteed overtime – after your first month you can choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour.
• Tools to Drive Your Future – free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one and access to a car salary sacrifice scheme after 12 months.
• Time Off That Matters – 23 days of holiday (25 with service) plus bank holidays, paid family leave and flexible schedules.
• Financial Security & Perks – pension scheme with up to 6.5% matched contributions, life assurance cover.

• You get people – personable, representing the RAC and creating a positive first‑hand experience.
• You like mixing things up – daily variety in servicing, diagnostics, repairs, stock management and reporting.
• You think on your feet – making quick, correct decisions 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.
