Job description

Overview

Join the RAC as a SuperFlex Roadside Mechanic. Flexibility deserves recognition – and we deliver. As a Superflex Patrol Roadside Mechanic, you’ll provide the adaptability our service relies on.

This role is ideal for those who thrive in dynamic environments and are committed to supporting our members when they need it most. In return, you’ll receive a competitive package and the chance to make a real impact on the roadside. We’ll equip you for success from day one with your own RAC van, fuel card, full uniform, essential tools, and diagnostic kit all provided.

The RAC has been a trusted name for over 128 years, combining our heritage with bold innovation. If you’re looking for a career in automotive roadside services that’s rewarding, fast-paced, and full of variety, this is it.

No CV required when you apply – it’s easier than ever to start your journey with us.

What we offer

• Competitive salary: £53,720 basic salary (inclusive of London Weighting Allowance if applicable), with the opportunity to earn up to £58,000
• Weekly variety: You’ll work on average 40 hours per week across the year, with your roster seven days in advance and core hours confirmed three days prior
• Thrive outside of 9-5: Shifts between 06:00 and 02:00, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and bank holidays

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.

What you’ll need

• A Level 2 light vehicle maintenance qualification (or equivalent) with demonstrative technical, electrical, and diagnostic experience
• A customer-focused approach
• A full UK driving licence
• Flexibility to work at short notice and open to travel with overnight stays, if necessary
