We have 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. 

Your Mission

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.

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.

This is a broad and varied role with the opportunity to work across markets. Key responsibilities include:

• 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.

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.

A bit about Field

What you'll be doing

A bit about you

• 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
