Mobile Mechanic Job in Enfield – RAC SMR North London UK

Vehicle tech based in North London? This Mobile Mechanic job in Enfield is a permanent role with the RAC’s SMR Division, covering EN4 and the wider Barnet area. You will earn a base salary of £45,370 with on-target earnings of up to £57,000. The role is also available in other locations across the UK.

A different kind of RAC role — welcome to SMR

The RAC is known for roadside rescue, but this isn’t that. Our Service, Maintenance and Repair (SMR) Division is a newer, fast-growing part of the business. It delivers planned, structured repair and servicing directly to our members — from their driveway to their workplace car park.

There are no emergency callouts, no unpredictable shift patterns, and no roadside recoveries. Instead, you will work through a scheduled list of jobs. You will have the time, tools, and support you need to do quality work.

What to expect

Your day starts with a clear digital schedule. Each job is pre-booked and the member is expecting you. You will carry out:

• Routine servicing.
• Diagnostics using advanced mobile equipment.
• In-depth repairs you would normally complete in a workshop.
• Member advice and recommendations based on your inspection.
• Vehicle safety checks aligned to RAC standards.

Because SMR is structured, you are not reacting to breakdowns. You are delivering planned work that you can prepare for.

From day one, you will have everything you need. This includes a fully equipped RAC van, a fuel card, your uniform, a full tool set, and advanced diagnostics. You will use your technical skill and problem-solving 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.
• In-depth repairs, not roadside temporary fixes.
• Time to do the job properly, with support and parts ordering built in.
• Clear schedules using RAC’s mobile service platform.

It is the ideal role for techs who want variety and independence, without the reactive nature of Patrol work.

What you will need

• A Level 2 qualification in Light Vehicle Maintenance (or equivalent).
• A minimum of 2 years’ experience as a vehicle technician on light vehicles.
• A full UK driving licence, with fewer than 6 points.

No CV required when you apply. It takes just 5 minutes — it has never been easier to start your journey with us.
