You’ll start and finish your day at home, tackling challenges head‑on and making a real impact on the roadside – combining your technical expertise with outstanding member service. We set you up for success from day one, providing your own RAC van, fuel card, full uniform, essential tools and diagnostic kit.

• Wellbeing support – 24/7 confidential support helpline for you and your family.
• Exclusive discounts – save on tools, tech, holidays and more through our Orange Savings portal.

Speaks to your personality and professional strengths – you are more than a mechanic. You are a problem solver, a people person and a proud ambassador for the RAC. Whether you’re on a busy roadside or a quiet cul‑de‑sac, you stay calm under pressure and confident in your craft. You thrive on variety – one moment it’s fault diagnostics, the next it’s a flat tyre or battery – no two jobs are the same. You’ll be equipped and ready for every call‑out, with the tools, tech and support to get the job done. You think on your feet and make the right call for each customer, tackling each new challenge every day.
