Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: UK - London
Compensation: £60,000 - £80,000 / year

This is a broad and varied role with the opportunity to have massive impact. Key responsibilities include:
Essential Skills
Package Details
Salary: Salary: £60,000 - £80,000
We’re offering a competitive compensation package, including participation in our employee share scheme which rewards all employees for the growth of the business. You’ll be awarded shares when you join, which will vest over four years - and as the business grows in size and value, so will your shares!
We value our team’s wellbeing and belonging so we invest approx £5,000 a year on a range of perks, benefits and wellbeing activities, including regular team socials and events.
Other Benefits Include
Field builds, owns and operates the renewable energy infrastructure. We develop grid-scale BESS sites across the UK, Italy, Spain, and Germany, backed by £200 million investment from CVC DIF. Our mission is to continue to grow internationally and develop a strong global BESS portfolio.
Batteries have a big job to do. They store renewable energy for when it's needed most, reducing grid intermittency and displacing carbon-intensive generation. Without storage, renewables can't scale — and we're here to change that. We have 300 MWh operational, 300 MWh under construction, and 4.5 GWh in development.
We're a team of experts in our fields — from engineers and construction managers to traders and data scientists — who roll up their sleeves and move fast. We're curious, we share openly, and we're genuinely motivated by the mission.
Our Values
Love the sound of Field but not sure this role is right for you? Have a look at our careers page and register your CV. We are always interested in candidates who have exposure to BESS and work within the Renewable Energy space. We’d love to hear from you.
Equality, Diversity & inclusion
Diverse teams make better teams. Field is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment which is as representative as possible of our society. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, disability, gender expression, marriage/civil partnership status, pregnancy/maternity status, race, nationality, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We published a blog discussing our findings and learnings from our first Equity, Diversity and Inclusion survey in March 2023 which you can read here.
