Birthday carbon offset: a gift from Field to the world to celebrate your birthday A bit about Field 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 Work for the team - We are friendly and approachable. We make time for each other, value diverse perspectives, and learn and grow together. Do it right - We prioritise doing things right, never cutting corners. Safety comes first, and we consider our impact on communities and the environment. We act with integrity always. Move fast - We’re doers. We take responsibility, deliver on promises, and get things done. FAST. Know your stuff - We’re curious self-starters, always learning, adapting, and improving. No question is too small. We own our growth. Read more about our values at www.field.energy 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.
