Title: BESS Engineer Location: UK - London / remote
A bit about Field
Field is an international developer, 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 (now CVC DIF). 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 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.
Your Mission
As Lead BESS engineer you’ll be responsible for leading the design and selection of battery systems that will be built across Field’s portfolio of multi-GWh duration energy storage projects in the UK, Spain, Italy and Germany.
This will require you to keep abreast of technological developments in battery cell design and development and implications for battery container design and power conversion equipment.
It will also involve some travel to manufacturing sites and industry conferences to witness tests, engage at a deeper level on specific project issues and maintain relationships with technical and commercial counterparts.
This role will encompass the full battery lifecycle and mean you will also be working closely with the development, construction and operations teams to support their roles in site outline design, noise assessments, interface management with BOP contractors as well as supporting ongoing asset management to keep our batteries running at peak performance.
What you’ll be doing
This is a broad and varied role that would suit someone with an engineering (preferably electrical) or physical science background who is curious, has an entrepreneurial mindset and wants to work with rapidly evolving technology. Key responsibilities include:

Define a new industry: The energy market is in a paradigm shift right now, evolving at a breathtaking pace, and you will play a leading role in defining how that market evolves and innovates over the next few years.
Exceptional team: We are an eclectic team with varied backgrounds. We have experience scaling billion dollar tech start-ups and building energy companies, as well as deep specialisms in the energy markets.
