Maintenance Technicianscareersatnissan.co.uk

IN 1984, SOMETHING CHANGED THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY FOREVER.

Our doors opened.

Since then, we’ve grown. We’ve driven innovation. And we’ve

invested £3.5bn in the plant. In fact, we’ve been the UK’s

largest car producer for 16 years.

And the biggest car exporter for 14.

We even made UK automotive history when we became the fastest car

manufacturer to reach the two million mark with one model – the Qashqai.

An impressive heritage. But at Nissan, we’re far more interested in the future. The challenges ahead. Our impact on the engineering landscape. And the potential waiting to be untapped – both in our plant and our people.

If you’re a talented Maintenance Technician, join us. And drive your future too.
