Nissan Sunderland Creates Jobs By Restarting The Third Shift

In recent news, Nissan has created 400 temporary fixed term contracts at the Sunderland plant in the North East of England. Recruitment has now begun for workers to be involved in the production process of the seemingly ever popular Qashqai, which has a major update coming in March 2010.

Trevor Mann, Nissan Senior Vice President for Manufacturing, Europe said: “Nissan is committed to delivering customers’ cars as quickly as possible, and our staff in Sunderland has been working incredibly hard to achieve this. However, Qashqai continues to buck the trend of a generally depressed market, and we have now identified the need for an additional shift to cover a high volume request in the first half of the 2010 Financial Year. Doing so will allow us to get cars to our customers more quickly and also provide the significant increase to production needed to fill the delivery pipeline to our European dealer network.”

Qashqai was created at Nissan’s design studio in Paddington, London, developed at its technical centre in Cranfield, Bedfordshire and is manufactured in Sunderland.

Since its sales launch in March 2007, more than half a million units have been sold across Europe, and the model accounted for 60% of Sunderland’s 2009 total production volume of 338,000 cars.
