A Different Kind of RAC Role: Welcome to SMR

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.

Where you'll work

You'll be part of the Bridgwater cluster, covering areas like Bridgwater, Burnham on Sea, Weston super Mare, Highbridge, Cheddar. You'll be out on the road in your local area, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments - no reactive callouts, just organised, pre booked work where you can focus on doing the job properly.

What to expect

• 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

What you'll need

• Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent)
• Minimum 2 years' experience as a vehicle technician working on light vehicles
• A full UK driving licence with fewer than 6 points

No CV required when you apply - it takes just 5 minutes, it's easier than ever to start your journey with us.
