Our take
Tackling the climate crisis requires belief that large systemic changes can be made, with the determination to make them happen fast. Field wants to drive this change. The company will finance, build and operate renewable energy infrastructure.
They are starting with energy storage, with a portfolio of batteries in the UK, which will allow them to store renewable energy for when it's needed, creating a reliable, flexible and green grid. Longer term, they have ambitious plans to become the leading energy storage player in the UK over the next few years, expand internationally and move into more nascent renewable technologies.

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.

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

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.
