Our Vehicle Engineers are a world-class team of hands-on problem-solvers. A conduit between vehicle design and final production, Vehicle Engineers guarantee that the plant is ready to manufacture new models while ensuring work on existing vehicles continues.
Our Vehicle Engineers work flexibly and autonomously, always supported by a world-class team.
With the department split into new-model and current-model development, our Vehicle Engineers directly influence the evolution and improvement of vehicles across interior, exterior and chassis. This role opens opportunities for learning and development at every turn, whether you want to become an expert in a particular field or develop an overarching view of vehicle production.
It’s a role that demands rapid decision-making in challenging situations. A drive for variety and the ability to make quick, sound judgments are essential.
Working through new model challenges and ongoing projects for current models means our Vehicle Plant Engineers must collaborate daily with both global and local teams, sometimes travelling with international project teams. Enjoying responsibility from day one, they work sensitively with other teams on design, process and supplier changes to ensure best vehicle quality output while meeting ambitious cost and efficiency targets. Our Vehicle Engineers are the key to the cross-functional team that ensures our vehicle designs are feasible from concept through production to final customer delivery.
Anna started competing in shotput events as a teenager, but soon realised she also had a passion for science and problem solving. Initially working hard as a Graduate Engineer during the day and training hard during evenings and weekends, when Anna began training for international competitions Nissan was there to support her. She was given the flexibility to take leave and work part-time, train at the on-site Sports & Social complex, and even hold interviews with the media at work, allowing her to maximise her time and maintain a great work life balance. Anna competed in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics and has her sights set on Paris 2024 – knowing she has Nissan’s full support to get her there.
Starting at Nissan is an exciting challenge, full of possibilities, and there’ll be a lot to take in at first. Here is where you’ll find all the information you need to get started, understand your new company, our culture and where to go when you need support or have a query. It’s great to have you on board and we hope you enjoy building your electric future with us.
