Our take
Tackling the climate crisis requires a belief that large systemic changes can be made, with the determination to make them happen fast. Field wants to drive this change and is setting out to do so by financing, building, and operating renewable energy infrastructures.
The journey begins with energy storage, and Field is already making strides with a growing portfolio of batteries in the UK. These will store renewable energy for when it's most needed, creating a flexible, reliable, and green grid.
But this is just the start. Field's long-term vision is even bolder - becoming the UK's top energy storage player, expanding globally, and diving into cutting-edge renewable technologies that will shape the future of energy.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Field
Rachael Leinster (Talent Acquisition Manager)
- Giving everyone a fair and equal chance at employment is important to us at Field, and we feel a diverse workplace is a better workplace! But we want to make certain that we are practicing what we preach, and there are no biases creeping in to prevent us from building a rich and diverse workforce; so all applicants receive an DE&I questionnaire to complete (if they are comfortable doing so) upon applying for any roles at Field so we can view this in aggregate and ensure no unconscious biases are clouding our process.

Inspiring mission (1)
Working on the energy transition at Field is challenging and exciting work. The electricity system is complicated, and constantly evolving (now faster than ever) as we try to push to net zero. Within that, energy storage is an emerging technology which adds a further layer of complexity. At Field, we have been working on a large range of challenging problems such as predicting the future generation mix, evaluating new storage technologies, understanding the implications of different battery chemistries, assessing grid constraints in different geographies. I have really enjoyed the challenge of working in an emerging space (storage) that is still not perfectly understood by the experts so you really have to develop your own opinions.
Operations & Strategy
Challenging work
Oct 2021
Field is actually building and operating the renewable infrastructure we need to reach net zero. This is not a low impact green initiative from a tech company, but a company that is actually playing a leading role in building out the critical infrastructure needed to solve a generational problem.

Inspiring mission
Oct 2021
At Field, everyone in the team has always been given a lot of autonomy. We are an early stage company, with a lot of work to do - as such, micro-management has never been an option! I have led and been accountable for critical projects that I was not a subject matter expert in at the start, but was fully trusted by the team to work it out and deliver.
