The Body Shop is the place for Maintenance Technicians who thrive on challenge and the strong connections that come from working in a busy setting. Teams in this area work with the most up-to-date manufacturing equipment in the world including AGVs, laser measurement robots, traffic and vision systems. It’s great for motivated team players who can solve issues as they come in, while keeping production moving.
Like many of our Maintenance Technicians, Nissan has become a long-term career for Richie. Since starting his Nissan journey in 2006, he has completed an apprenticeship and now works with some of the most modern equipment in the world. He relishes the challenge of working on something new – and the excitement that comes with getting to grips with new technology. Nissan is more than just a job for Richie. He loves the camaraderie between his teams and has made lifelong friends with people from all over the North East.
Like every shop at our UK manufacturing hub, Body Shop Maintenance Technicians have no shortage of opportunities to work with the equipment and areas they feel most at home and collaborate with cross-functional teams to fulfil our ethos of continuous improvement.
Sam prefers working with computers and software – and he’s able to do just that as a Nissan Maintenance Technician. He collaborates closely with the Engineering team on new equipment including robots and PLC software and enjoys the opportunities he gets to learn about new technology unique to Nissan.
With both automated and manual assembly facilities, the Body Shop is where smart manufacturing comes to life. As an electrical technician you’ll have the chance to maintain and improve equipment and software behind systems like our ultra-modern FANUC robots, numerically controlled tooling, and safety PLC.
The camaraderie between the teams is second-to-none. You get to work with a diverse mix of ability in our Body Shop, both here in the UK and across the globe. Experts in machinery, equipment, automation and processes from engineering, suppliers, manufacturing, and design all come together to make our plant one of the best in the world.
