Data roles at National Highways
Our Chief Data Office is growing, we have some fantastic opportunities to join the team to help manage our £60bn worth of digital assets.
National Highways is the steward of one of the UKs most important digital assets. We recognise our role as being an information provider to create and support an ecosystem of digital centric businesses flourish in a way that helps us achieve our shared goals.
Our data is more than a digital reflection of our assets. Data is an asset in its own right and our purpose is to connect hearts and minds to data so we can use it to connect the country. To do this we need the best data ninjas to help us do it.
Our data team is also accountable for the portfolio management of digital roads and delivering digital to customers to improve their user experience and journey. Find out more about our approach to digital, data and technology.
Over the coming weeks we will be recruiting for several roles covering data governance, data management, data architecture and engineering, GIS, data science and digital innovation.
Quite simply, our company gets data, invests in data, values it’s data and cares about creating careers for data professionals.
Our current team members on why they love working in their data roles:
We know that as a data professional, you probably have a lot of options right now – data is hot! So why come and work for us?
The work that you do will have a demonstrable impact on the lives of everyday people. No, you’ll probably not change the world in an earth-shaking way, but the work we’re doing has the potential to make millions of people’s daily lives a little bit easier, a little bit smoother, a little less stressful when they need to travel on the motorway. I think that’s worthwhile, not grand, but worthwhile. If you think that way too, you might find a great home here.
'I don’t have all the skills listed!' I hear you say. I want you to apply anyway. I am looking for people who are smart, curious, like problem solving, and have a bit of tenacity. If that sounds like you, please apply.
Adam Locker – Head of Data Architecture and Engineering
Between the 3 pillars of the Chief Data Office (Data Architecture & Engineering, Data Science and Data Governance), we work collaboratively to deliver the Chief Data Officer’s vision and strategy on how we manage our data assets.
Between us, we are here to transform the data estate into an asset, maximise data exploitation and data opportunities, under the umbrella of a robust data governance framework to ensure our data is trusted, fit for purpose and meets our legal and regulatory obligations.
There’s never been a more exciting time as a data professional to join our growing team, with plenty of opportunities to collaborate, innovate and be at the forefront and centre of some really exiting digital and data transformation programmes.
