Roadside Assistance Patrolman careers
A Roadside Assistance Patrolman provides emergency mechanical support and recovery services to motorists stranded on Australian roads. You might work for a motoring club, an insurance provider, or a towing firm. Patrolmen focus on diagnosing faults, changing tyres, and performing minor repairs. You will use specialised 4WD vehicles to tow cars and trailers safely, ensuring motorists are removed from dangerous situations and transported to a secure location.
Roadside Assistance Patrolmen play a vital role in keeping transport networks moving. You’ll need to be technically proficient, observant, and calm when dealing with stressed drivers. You will liaise with dispatchers and emergency services to ensure every recovery is handled efficiently, safely, and in accordance with road safety regulations.
