Whether it's a flat battery, tyre change, or complex fault-finding, you'll provide quick, confident solutions and reassurance when our members need it most.

You'll start and end your day at home, tackling challenges head-on and making a real impact on the roadside - combining your technical expertise with outstanding member service.

We'll set you up for success from day one, with your own RAC van, fuel card, full uniform, essential tools, and diagnostic kit all provided.

As a Roadside Technician at RAC, you'll get benefits that go the extra mile:
  • Strong base pay - £41,600 (inclusive of LWA) and realistic OTE of £66,000, with top-performers earning significantly more through bonuses and enhanced overtime rates
  • Share in our success - Join our colleague share scheme for free to benefit from the future growth of the business
  • Free RAC Ultimate breakdown cover - From your very first day
  • Car salary sacrifice scheme - Includes electric vehicle options (after 12 months) to help you save on tax

  • Exclusive discounts - Save on tools, tech, holidays, and more through our Orange Savings portal
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 stay calm under pressure and confident in your craft.

You thrive on variety. One moment it's fault diagnostics, the next it's a flat tyre or battery - no two jobs are the same. You'll be equipped and ready for every call-out, with the tools, tech, and support to get the job done.

You think on your feet. You'll be trusted to think on your feet and make the right call for each customer. Different fixes, different faces, new challenges every day.
