Nissan job postings related to EVs, charging & social media

[cwerdna]

Post and discuss Nissan's job postings that relate to EVs, charging infrastructure and social media (e.g. this board, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) Sometimes job postings (esp. of companies like Apple) can give insights as to what a company is up to.

I'll start. I posted the job below before in another thread but it likely got buried. At http://nissan.jobs/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, Nissan added a button to search and apply for Nissan contract jobs sometime last month.

At https://kelly.secure.force.com/CandidateExperience/CandExpJobDetails?id=a7V80000000GyzXEAS" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, I noticed today that the position was closed, hopefully filled.

Interesting the above doesn't seem to call for automotive knowledge or experience...

Would be nice if Nissan has a presence from a rep like GM does on Cruzetalk.com who checks in VERY regularly (http://www.cruzetalk.com/forum/9-chevrolet-cruze-general-discussion-forum/4613-gm-social-media-customer-assistance-representative.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false. I started a thread about automakers' social media presence at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=11401" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

The last thing we need is "Workplace Chagrining"...

But it's nice to see that Nissan plans to expand their DCFC at Dealership program to the Northeast. Hopefully a few (most? any?) will be 24x7, and hopefully they won't give too much trouble with getting access to the station.

Thanks for these. I agree, job postings are good insights into corporate intentions.

If any forum readers have the skill set for this last one, and are so inclined, I hope you take the job, we really need some QC on the East coast. Distances are relatively short here, the EV market could be so much better.
