Job Description

We are an ambitious organisation, and we are looking for equally ambitious and innovative people to join our dynamic Procurement Graduate Scheme. Nissan is positioned to become the most desirable Asian brand in Europe, and we need your help to get there.

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.

Procurement is a key function within any automotive manufacturer. After all, when you consider that 80% of the car value is from externally sourced components, you can understand how important your role within Procurement will be. Throughout your role on our Procurement Graduate Scheme, you will learn about the vast variety of functions within Procurement and will be allocated your own area of responsibility from the following:

  • Line Parts
  • Facilities and Site Services
  • Aftersales
  • Vendor Tooling
  • Purchase Project Management
  • Purchase Planning and Co-ordination
  • Supplier Quality Development
  • Total Delivered Cost

Assessment centre
If your initial application is successful, we will then invite you to an assessment centre either on-site at Nissan Cranfield or at a neighbouring venue.

We all know how you’re feeling but try to relax and enjoy yourself!
FINAL INTERVIEW
Sometimes you will be asked back for a 2nd interview, this will be dependent on department and is normally an informal interview to discuss your specific organisational fit. Throughout all of this stage, we want you to feel as relaxed as possible. We know that interviews can be nerve-wracking but just be yourself and try not to worry about getting anything wrong.
Job offer and medical
Well done, you’ve got the job! You will now receive a job offer from us. Once you have accepted you will receive a medical questionnaire to complete online and a contract will then be sent to you in the post, which you will need to sign and send back to us. Now the pressure is off, you’ve done it! Try relax and give yourself time to prepare for your new adventure
Email communication
