A myriad of different departments within our Nissan Sunderland offices collaborate seamlessly to enable the development and nurturing of our workforce, the security and safety of our premises and systems and the efficient running of our plant and processes.
Our Engineering and Maintenance departments also share our office space for some of the working day.
Jacqui has worked at Nissan for almost 20 years, working across various roles in HR. As someone who did not necessarily want to work for people, rather work with them, Jacqui has enjoyed focusing her talent with people on cross-functional projects and workstreams.
As well as international travel, she has been able to rotate and move laterally to learn about different areas of the business and develop new skills and knowledge – developing her career in a way that suits her goals and personality.
Our HR department is a thriving hub of specialist functions, incorporating Talent Acquisition & Management, Employee Relations, Planning & Recruitment, Engagement, Performance & Rewards, Payroll and Pensions & Contracts. With a large, open-plan office, teams can easily combine talents to bring about best results – developing, nurturing, engaging and enabling our workforce to be the best that they can be.
The Communications team are a small but mighty force within NMUK, handling all internal communications as well as events management, press liaison and stakeholder engagement. The tight-knit team include our own on-site videographer/photographer, as well as PR and communications specialists, delivering wide-ranging work from advising Directors on internal stakeholder comms to organising plant-wide corporate and employee events.
Our Learning & Development team drives forward the development and progression of our workforce. A tour de force in recognising and nurturing the talent we have here at the plant, the L&D team are responsible for identifying learning needs, developing courses and engaging and enabling employees to take part, learn and progress.
With a non-stop production plant and complex networks of global supply chains, it is integral to the efficient running of the plant that budgets, forecasts and day-to-day financial matters are accurate and timely. Few financial organisations can match the breadth of involvement and responsibility that you’ll find in the Nissan Finance department. Whether it’s reviewing existing budgets, supervising ledgers, setting new budgets for business plans, forecasting, assessing profitability or making costings for new models, the team have a hand in every area of our business
With a real passion for the important work done within the department, Rebecca has been able to support and lead in a number of ground-breaking projects, including the global audit of 5-GMSR, tender reviews, COVID support, REACH activity, Biological Monitoring and LEV inspections. She has also been instrumental in setting up the Nissan Sunderland employee volunteering programme within the CSR pillar. Â
The safety of our plant and workforce is paramount to our ongoing success. An integral part of all our operations here, the Health & Safety team are a robust and welcome presence throughout the site. From supporting employee wellbeing to helping build new production lines, they have the expertise and ability to keep our employees safe.
Procurement at Nissan isn’t about playing off one supplier against another to achieve the lowest price possible. We do things differently here. We place quality first, so we source suppliers who can achieve the performance standards we expect. Then, we work with them to continually reduce costs without compromising these high standards.
The Information Systems Department (ISD) is a key area of the Nissan Sunderland business, where you will always find a variety of interesting projects and initiatives.

We go beyond the factory, with specialisations in other areas too, such as regional Information/Operational Security, Helpdesk, Governance, IT Operations, Market & Sales, After Sales, Finance & Administration. Diversity is key, as most departments work cross-functionally with partners around the world.
Our Supply Chain Management team helps to define the flow of a world-leading Just-In-Time manufacturing operation; restructuring systems, processes and suppliers to help supply hundreds of thousands of cars a year to market.
