About Nikon
Since its foundation as a manufacturer of optical instruments in 1917, their cameras have been a synonym for high quality and reliability. But since 1988, and the foundation of Nikon Precision Europe (NPE), they have been at the cutting edge of the latest developments in semiconductor manufacturing.
With over half a century of experience in the field of optics behind them, and a reputation for high quality and reliability, Nikon Precision Europe simply integrated Nikon’s optical glass and lens production capabilities with precision fabrication and measurement technology and created the stepper/scanner. Today this tool is driving the global manufacturing of semiconductors.
They're a growing and dynamic company who pride themselves on their multi-national and multi- cultural staff.
At Nikon Precision Europe every day is different and rewarding and we can offer a wealth of career opportunities.
They are looking for graduates in:
Mechanical engineering
Electrical engineering
Optical technology
But more than this, they are looking for problem solvers and team players who thrive on solving challenges.
They hire and invest in energetic, innovative individuals who bring value to clients. For Nikon Precision Europe, attracting and retaining top talent is viewed as vital for the company’s growth and integrity. Nikon understand that the best people give the best service, and they have a strong reward scheme and internal promotion program which recognizes outstanding achievement and encourages and develops our people.

In addition to its European network, Nikon Precision Europe (NPE) works closely with its sister companies, Nikon Precision Inc. (USA) and Nikon Precision Korea Ltd., and with Nikon Corporation Precision Equipment Company in Tokyo, Japan. The company language is English.

(USA), Nikon Precision Korea Ltd., or at Nikon Corporation Precision Equipment Company in Tokyo, Japan.
Here at Jobs Expo, we're always thinking of new ways to promote our brand as the leading jobs fair in Ireland - and generate more value-for-money for our clients to help them recruit in the most cost-effective way.
Our latest endeavor is the Jobs Expo Job Slot, which is being broadcast twice-daily on Dublin's Radio Nova. Nova boasts 146,000 listeners in the Greater Dublin area, and is predominately aimed at 25-54s in Dublin, Kildare, Meath & Wicklow. We LOVE Radio Nova, particularly as it's aimed squarely at adults and doesn't have a large proportion of under 20s in its audience, like many of the other radio stations.
Our new Jobs Expo Jobs Slot is featuring three of the major employers taking part in this Saturday's Jobs Expo Dublin at Croke Park - Kirby Engineering (looking for mechanical & electrical engineers, quantity surveyors, project managers, planners, BIM engineers and Health & Safety professionals, Nikon Precision Europe (seeking graduates and candidates with 1-6 years' experience with qualifications in electronics engineering, optical technology, mechanical engineering or physics) and Eir (recruiting for accounting, technology, engineering, sales, retail and tech support.
Listen to the Jobs Expo Job Slot below.
