Sound like your kind of role? Here’s what
we’re after:
You’re more than a
mechanic. You’re a problem solver, a people
person, and a proud ambassador for the RAC. Whether you’re on a
busy roadside or a quiet cul-de-sac, you’re calm under pressure,
quick to connect, and confident in your
craft.
You embrace
flexibility. One moment it’s fault diagnostics,
the next it’s a flat tyre or a flat battery - no two jobs are the
same. You’ll manage your own kit, keep your van stocked, and handle
your reports with precision.
You know how to read a
situation. Our Roadside Mechanics are trusted
to make the call; finding the right fix, supporting each member,
and keeping everyone moving. Every call-out is a chance to showcase
the RAC difference.
