Roadside Mechanic
Due to our ongoing and unpreceded growth we now have a fantastic opportunity for skilled, field-based vehicle technicians to join our Patrol team as Roadside Mechanics. Roadside is at the very heart of our business as our Patrols deliver an exceptional and much needed service to our members so it's not like working in a garage or dealership, instead you'll be out and about dealing face to face with our customers, handling breakdowns and offering technical support and delivering the exceptional service that they have come to expect from RAC.
You'll come across a diverse range of breakdowns and technical issues, with the goal of fixing at least 4 out of 5 vehicles at the roadside so you'll need a minimum Level 2 light vehicle maintenance qualification and proven, core mechanical and diagnostic skills that can be deployed efficiently as you strike the balance between completing quick yet sustainable repairs to get our members safely back on the road. You'll also get a real kick out of helping people offering a calm and friendly approach whatever the situation. It goes without saying you'll also need a full driving licence!
As a Roadside Patrol, we'll require you to work between the hours of 6.00am and midnight, including weekends and bank holidays. You may also be asked to work alternative shifts at times depending on the circumstances, while there's often an opportunity to work overtime!
In return we offer a highly competitive basic salary of GBP28,875pa the opportunity to earn up to GBP45,000pa along with a RAC Service Patrol van, fully kitted out with a comprehensive and advanced RAC tool kit. Not only will you have a comprehensive induction, but you'll also have access to the latest vehicle technology, along with support from technical experts based in out head office. You'll also be rewarded with additional benefits including pension, life cover, a generous holiday entitlement, breakdown cover for you and your household and access to a comprehensive Flexible Benefits Scheme (which you can tailor to suit your lifestyle). You could also develop your career further into different areas of our growing business.
