As an RAC Mobile Mechanic in the Service, Maintenance and Repair division, you'll bring expert vehicle maintenance and diagnostic skills directly to our customers, wherever they are. From driveways to office car parks, you'll deliver first‑class service without the constraints of a traditional garage. We'll equip you for success from day one – with your own RAC van, fuel card, full uniform, essential tools and diagnostic kit all provided. Think independence, career progression, and real work‑life balance – with 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, combining our heritage with bold innovation. At the RAC, individuality fuels innovation and you're invited to bring your full self to it.

• Opt‑in Guaranteed Overtime – after your first month you can choose to work extra rest days at £30 per hour. Just one extra day a month could earn you £3,000 more per year on top of your base salary.
• Tools to Drive Your Future – get started with a free RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one, plus access to a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months, delivering serious tax savings.
• Time Off That Matters – enjoy 23 days of holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays. We also support work‑life balance with paid family leave, flexible schedules, and practical resources to help navigate personal commitments.

• Extras That Make a Difference – access Orange Savings, our exclusive discount portal with deals across top retailers, holidays, tools, tech and more. After passing probation you'll automatically join our Colleague Share Scheme, giving you a stake in our collective success.

Responsibilities

This isn't just spanners and engines – our mechanics are out there on driveways, chatting with customers, giving advice, and representing the RAC with pride. Every fix, every chat, every driveway visit shows what we're all about. Every day's a little different: servicing, diagnostics, repairs and checks. Different fixes, different faces, new challenges every day.
