A bit about Field

At Field, we’re accelerating the build out of renewable energy infrastructure to reach net zero. We are starting with battery storage, storing up energy for when it’s needed most to create a more reliable, flexible and greener grid. At Field, we will show that batteries are a totally viable part of our energy infrastructure - now, not in some distant future. 

We have ambitious plans to become the defining new clean energy player in Europe over the next few years, gradually expanding beyond batteries into new asset types.

Overview

Following a successful 18 months of project development, Field has over 3GW of projects at varying stages of development spread across the UK and further developments in Italy. Having successfully commissioned our first project in Oldham, Manchester and with more projects coming on line over the next year, Field is looking to grow its project development team. 

Supported by a team of grid specialists and development professionals you’ll have the opportunity to join one of the UK’s fastest growing developer, owner operators in Europe. Focussing on utility and grid scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with a future view to delivering co-located projects, you’ll have the opportunity to work on the origination of suitable land assets and land partners with visibility of the full project lifecycle - from initial grid and lands assessment, legal negotiations, full consenting process through to construction and operation. 

Field presents an unrivalled opportunity for a successful candidate to make a valued and real contribution to not just the company but the UK and Europe’s renewable energy and carbon reduction targets. 

The role

This is a broad and varied role with the opportunity to have massive impact. Key responsibilities include

• Working with our grid, legal and development teams to identify suitable sites for BESS projects;
• Screening prospective sites with an understanding of ‘what looks good’ for a BESS project;
• Identifying and liaising with land and estate owners to secure land rights for BESS projects;
• Negotiating with landowners, agents and solicitors to secure land rights for BESS projects.

• You’ve got the vision to picture a development from inception
• You’re an open, clear communicator who enjoys working collaboratively - there are no ‘lone wolves’ at Field, we’re all in this together
• You’re very organised - you’ll be spinning a few plates at once, so you’ll need to have tried and tested methods for keeping on top of a varied workload at your fingertips
• You’re enthusiastic, curious and knowledgeable about the energy storage industry

Essential Skills

• Experience and knowledge of negotiating Heads of Terms and Option & Lease document;
