On Saturday, June 23rd 2012 a special recruitment event is taking place at Nissan Sunderland in the North East of England. The success of the plant and Nissan internationally means there are four new models on the horizon and specialist staff are required to support the huge influx of development.
Ahead of this new era for the UK automotive sector, Nissan Sunderland Plant, which produces more than one in three British cars, is now looking for up to 200 talented and specialist staff in areas including Production Management, Engineering, Maintenance, Information Systems and Logistics.
Kevin Fitzpatrick, Nissan’s Vice President for Manufacturing in the UK, said: “The popularity of the Nissan Qashqai and the Nissan Juke has meant our Sunderland Plant has achieved record production in each of the last two years, both of which were UK industry records. Four new models have now been announced for the plant. As a result we are recruiting for up to 200 specialist staff. I would encourage anyone interested in furthering their career at the UK’s biggest car plant to attend this Specialist Recruitment Day or to visit our website www.careersatnissan.co.uk for all current vacancies.”
The Specialist Recruitment Day on Saturday (June 23) takes place between 10am and 2pm at Nissan Sunderland Plant, Washington Road, Sunderland, SR5 3NS. Potential candidates will have the chance to meet Nissan staff from their area of interest and find out in an informal setting about all opportunities.
Once recruitment for both models is complete, the Sunderland Plant workforce will stand at a record 6,225 supporting an overall annual plant volume of more than 550,000 units and triggering the need for Sunderland Plant to implement an additional shift. This will see both production lines operating ‘around the clock’ for the first time in the plant’s 26-year history.
