Mobile Vehicle Technician – Coventry

Company: Rac Motoring Services
Apply for the Mobile Vehicle Technician – Coventry
Location: Hurley
Job Description:

Nuneaton, Bedworth, Rugby, Kenilworth, Leamington Spa.

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

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

  • Routine servicing
  • Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment
  • In‑depth repairs that 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.

Use your technical skill and problem‑solving ability to get people moving again safely, quickly and confidently.

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

It’s the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.

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

Compensation and Working Hours

A competitive base salary of £40,178, with on‑target earnings of up to £52,000. You also have the option of guaranteed overtime to increase your base salary to £44,385, plus additional overtime and bonus opportunities.

40‑hour week, core hours 8:30 am‑5:00 pm, with one Saturday every four weeks. After the first month you can opt for extra Saturday overtime at £30 per hour (one extra day a month could earn you £3,000 more per year).

Benefits

Full RAC Ultimate Complete Breakdown Service from day one.

Access to a car salary sacrifice scheme (including electric vehicle options) after 12 months.

23 days holiday (rising to 25 with service), plus bank holidays.

Pension scheme with up to 6.5 % matched contributions and life assurance cover up to 4× salary (10× optional with flex benefits).

24 / 7 confidential wellbeing support service for you and household members aged 16+.

Access to Orange Savings discount portal and other exclusive deals.

After probation, automatic participation in the Colleague Share Scheme.

Who thrives here?

You’re great with tools and great with people. Mobile mechanics are the face of the RAC, working on driveways and in car parks, speaking directly with members and providing reassurance. You enjoy independence, problem‑solving and real variety. Each job is different – from servicing and diagnostics to in‑depth repairs and reporting – and you’re hands‑on, adaptable and confident making decisions on the spot.

The role is ideal if you want: independence in a mobile role; the stability and support of a trusted national organisation; ongoing development, including future EV and diagnostic skills; a role where giving members complete peace of mind is simply part of what you do.

We welcome people from all backgrounds and walks of life. We are an equal opportunities employer.
