About The Role

• A competitive base salary of £40,170, with on target earnings of up to £52,000
• A guaranteed overtime option to increase your base salary, plus additional overtime and bonus opportunities
• 40 hours per week, with core hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, and 1 in 4 Saturdays

What to Expect

Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre booked, with the member expecting you.

You'll carry out:

• 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

Because SMR is structured, you're not reacting to breakdowns - you're delivering planned work that you can prepare for.

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.
