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, youâll work through a scheduled list of jobs, with the time, tools and support you need to do quality work. Where youâll work Youâll be part of the Chesterfield cluster, covering areas like Chesterfield, Mansfield, Alfreton, Bolsover, Clay Cross, Dronfield. Youâll be out on the road in your local area, working through a clearly planned schedule of appointments - no reactive callouts, just organised, preâbooked work where you can focus on doing the job properly.
What to expect
Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is preâbooked, with the member expecting you. Youâll carry out: - Routine servicing - Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment - Inâdepth repairs youâd normally complete in a workshop - Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection - Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards And because SMR is structured, youâre not reacting to breakdowns - youâre delivering planned work that you can prepare for. From day one, youâll have everything you need: a fully equipped RAC van, fuel card, uniform, full tool set and advanced diagnostics. Youâll use your technical skill and problemâsolving 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 - Inâdepth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes - Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in - Clear schedules using RACâs mobile service platform Itâs the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence without the reactive nature of Patrol.
What youâll need: - Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent) - Minimum 2 yearsâ 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 and it takes just 5 minutes â itâs easier than ever to start your journey with us.
