The well-respected Press, Plastics Injection Moulding and Battery Assembly Shops are the first step in our manufacturing process, where the outer and inner body panels of the vehicle are pressed. This vital stage requires technicians with real experience on the shop floor, able to problem solve and counter measures in place, while working in close-knit and cross-functional teams.
Plastics Injection Moulding is where we use advanced injection moulding machines to create bumpers and other plastic mouldings from raw materials. This area requires a team of highly skilled specialist Maintenance Technicians to ensure precision and momentum at every stage.
In Battery Assembly we build the hybrid and e-Power battery packs used to power our hybrid electric vehicles. It’s a highly flexible and growing process that continues to evolve as new technology comes in. The work calls for a flexible and safety-conscious mindset, as well as a real drive to learn new skills in a team that keeps things moving day to day.
Dan had a desire to progress early in his career, and Nissan made sure he was supported through this. He was given a clear map of where his career could go and when – and received the training and mentoring he needed to get there.
The Press Shop is made up of nine press lines, three trial presses, three blanking lines, 28 cranes and an automated scrap metal handling process. With all that specialist equipment, it takes an experienced and highly-skilled maintenance team to keep everything in sync and at full power.
This shop has seen a £100s millions investment in recent years, so Maintenance Technicians based in this area get to work on the latest advances in new equipment. That includes our innovative steel and aluminium cyclone recycling systems, part of our mission to achieve carbon neutrality across our organisation by 2050.
Working in press means you get to collaborate with a team of experts across external contractors, engineering, manufacturing and maintenance – both here in the UK and internationally – all working together with specialist skills to keep Nissan at the future of mobility and electrified transportation.
