About the Role
Feel like your current job’s going nowhere fast? Shift gears with The AA.
As a Patrol Roadside Rescue Mechanic, you’ll work variable shifts under a flexible schedule—making 40-hour weeks with the freedom to choose days that suit you. The AA doesn’t just provide a job; they provide backup—for members and for your lifestyle.
You’ll be the hero on the road: emergency response, technical problem-solving, and putting smiles back on people’s faces when they’re stranded. With a mix of independence and team support, you’ll use your technical expertise to showcase the AA’s reputation for reliability—anytime, anywhere, every season.
Key Responsibilities
- Start and end shifts on your driveway – you’re paid start to finish (from the moment you leave home to when you return).
- Work autonomously across locations and conditions as part of a supportive team.
- Apply technical knowledge and clear communication to ensure exceptional customer service under pressure.
- Troubleshoot roadside dilemmas with quick decision-making and calm professionalism.
