You will work closely with the Corporate Affairs Manager and the wider Corporate Affairs team to manage the collection and reporting of fleet average emissions. In addition to this, there will be a high level of autonomy given to you in this role.
Climate change is now recognised as one of the greatest environmental threats facing the World today. Therefore, it is critical that we reduce the impact of motor vehicles on this threat. The role of our Data Officer is consulting with vehicle manufacturers to collect, evaluate and publish data on the emissions of their Light-Duty Vehicles (LDV) and Heavy-Duty Vehicles (HDV). With this data, the CO2 emissions and performances of fleets are assessed against set targets, requiring experience analysing data and maintaining a high-level of attention to detail. Your work will enable us to identify where manufacturers have exceeded their emissions targets, resulting in fines that are issued to ensure we meet our objective of reducing carbon emissions.
You will become an integral part of the Corporate Affairs Team, with your skills having a direct impact on what we set out to achieve as an Agency. We are passionate about offering all our colleagues' equal opportunities to develop and learn new skills that will enable us to thrive together. We also ensure we promote a work-life balance where you can benefit from flexible and hybrid working, regular health and wellbeing webinars and a friendly community of colleagues who will support you to achieve your best.

- Engage with industry to verify and align understanding of their dataset.
- Use tools such as Power Query in excel to calculate the correct fleet average emissions for each manufacturer.
- Build and maintain excellent working relationships with manufacturers, to promote regulatory compliance, build knowledge, expertise and ensure accuracy of metrics.
Light Duty Vehicles (LDV)
- Calculate provisional fleet average CO₂. performance targets for all LDV manufacturers using registration data.
- Provide LDV manufactures with data sets and their provisional fleet average CO₂. performance targets.
- Coordinate the collection of data returned from LDV manufacturers via the error reporting process.
- Engage with manufacturers to collect vehicle Certificates of Conformity (CoCs) to verify and agree on changes made.
- Calculate final fleet average CO2 performance targets for all manufacturers.
- Provide manufacturers with data sets and their final performance targets.
Both HDV & LDV vehicles
- Support the publication of emissions data such as reports and associated supporting documents on the VCA website for both LDV and HDV vehicles.
- Provide responses to communications and queries from stakeholders, manufacturers, and the public.
- Build and maintain excellent working relationships with key colleagues in the central department, to share resources, knowledge, and expertise to promote regulatory compliance and continuous improvement.
- Maintain data standards, including adherence to the Data Protection Act 2018 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- Undertake all other reasonable and related tasks associated with this role.
