About the SMR Role

The RAC is known for roadside rescue - but this isn't that. Our Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR) division is a newer, fast‑growing part of the RAC, built to deliver planned, structured repair and servicing directly to members - from their driveway to their workplace car park. There are no emergency callouts, no unpredictable shift patterns and no roadside recoveries. Instead, you'll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work.

What to Expect

Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre booked, with the member expecting you. From day one, you'll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. You'll use your technical skill and problem solving ability to get people moving again; safely, quickly and confidently.

Responsibilities

• Routine servicing
• Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
• In depth repairs you'd normally complete in a workshop
• Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection
• Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards

Why SMR is different (and why techs love it)

• Planned appointments instead of emergency responses
• Consistent workflow instead of unpredictable demands
• In depth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes
• Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in
• Clear schedules using RAC's mobile service platform
