Design Engineer

Job description

**A bit about Field** 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. **Your Mission** 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.
