Your Skills. Two Different Paths.
Every day, RAC technicians help millions of members stay on the move. Whether you enjoy solving problems on the open road or delivering expert servicing and repairs where and when members need them, there's more than one way to build a rewarding career with the RAC.
We're recruiting automotive technicians into two frontline teams:
Roadside Patrol
For technicians who enjoy variety, independence and solving problems in the moment.
No two days or breakdowns are the same. Use your diagnostic skills to get members moving again when they need you most. Work independently, make decisions and see the impact of your work first-hand. Build specialist roadside expertise through ongoing learning, support and IMI-accredited development.
Service, Maintenance & Repair (SMR)
For technicians who enjoy precision, planning and delivering great service.
Enjoy a structured, pre-booked workload. Deliver expert servicing and repairs that help members stay safely on the move. Build your technical expertise through ongoing training and development. Grow your skills in a supportive environment with opportunities to achieve IMI accreditation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
