Company mission
To accelerate the build out of renewable infrastructure.
Role
Who you are
- You’re enthusiastic, curious and knowledgeable about the energy storage industry, with a particular passion to learn about the technical aspects of BESS
- You’ve got an eye for detail. Accuracy in our designs is critical; you’ll work to a high standard and collaborate with others to ensure constructable designs
- 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 an open, clear communicator who enjoys working collaboratively - there are no ‘lone wolves’ at Field, we’re all in this together
- You like variety - this isn’t an easy role, so you’ll need to be someone who thrives on challenge, likes to be always learning and isn’t afraid of a broad role remit
- Excellent knowledge of AutoCAD and Civil 3D as your primary design tools
- Experience with 3D modelling software such as Revit or 3ds Max is desirable but not essential
- Experience supporting or managing planning applications and an understanding of the planning process
- Working knowledge of CDM regulations and an awareness of designer responsibilities throughout the project lifecycle
- Experience within the renewable energy or energy storage industry is desirable but not essential
- Business level German is highly desirable
- Experience working internationally is desirable but not essential
- Degree in engineering or a related discipline is desirable but not essential
What the job involves
- Field is an international builder, owner, operator of renewable infrastructure
- Our Founder and CEO is a successful entrepreneur who previously co-founded a green energy supplier
- We have robust pipelines of BESS projects across the UK, Italy, Spain, and Germany - and strong financial backing
- Our most recent fundraise was a £200 million investment from DIF Capital Partners
- This will support our mission to grow internationally, and ultimately to build and develop a robust global BESS portfolio
- We are an eclectic team with varied backgrounds
- Our team has experience scaling billion dollar tech start-ups and building energy companies, as well as deep specialisms in the energy markets
- You will learn from and work with a bunch of fun, curious, and entrepreneurial people who really want to make an impact
- Together, 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
- As a Design Engineer you will be part of our central design team, working across all of our markets globally
- Your primary focus will be on GB and German projects, whilst also supporting our wider portfolio across all other markets
- You will be based at our head office in London, working closely with our other central teams including Development and Grid
- You will work on projects from origination through to construction, creating site layout plans, planning drawing packages, legal drawings and engineering schematics, with 3D modelling experience also being an advantage
- More detail on the design work undertaken at each stage of our projects is provided below:
- During origination, you will be involved in the initial analysis of sites, assessing site suitability and creating a concept design. Property drawings are a significant part of this stage
- A large focus of our work is during the development stage - Field is owner and operator of all of our sites and so we do a lot of upfront assessments and design work to support our planning applications. You will use topographic surveys, intrusive ground investigations, infiltration testing and access studies to inform the designs and ensuring that they are robust, and safe to construct and operate; and
- Once a project has received planning consent you will work with our construction team and contractors to ensure the project is built in accordance with our design standards, reviewing detailed design drawings from the contractor, and working on planning variations where needed
- It's a fast-paced environment where you'll need to work both quickly and accurately, contributing to the company's growth as we work towards global climate goals
- Creation of site layout plans, planning drawing packages, legal drawings and engineering schematics across multiple projects, spanning our global portfolio. You will work with internal Grid, Origination and Development teams and external consultants to design sites that meet all technical, legal and commercial requirements
- Completion of a full suite of drawings and plans to support your designs including:
- Single-line diagrams
- Planning application drawing packages
- Land and legal plans
- Engineering schematics and utility drawings
- Cut & fill and levels drawings
- Pre-construction information
- Production of 3D site design models using Civil 3D to calculate site levels and earthwork requirements, with 3D visualisation experience also being an advantage
- Review of internal and external design packages to ensure all work meets our requirements and standards. This includes GI reports, drainage designs, supplier technical manuals and drawings
- Review of tender documents and data sheets to continually develop our in house design knowledge and processes, covering technical information, construction methods and safety requirements
- Ensuring all design work is undertaken in accordance with CDM regulations, with a clear understanding of Field's duties and responsibilities throughout the project lifecycle
- Support of the implementation of Field’s internal data management system and processes

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. It is already expanded to Italy, where it plans to build a new fleet of large battery storage systems.
