Japanese
car maker Nissan is seeking 60 engineers to work at it Nissan European Technical
centre (NETC) Cranfield, Bedfordshire, according to a senior manager.
Nissan’s site in
Cranfield employs about 1,000 people creating vehicle designs for the world
market but claims to need engineers to fill a big skills gap.
David Moss, vice
president of vehicle research and development at Nissan, said the company is
about 60 engineers short, but is particularly short of electronic engineers. Cars are
becoming more and more electronics based and the lack of local skills is a
threat to the company.
