Lead Grid Connection Engineer (Delivery)

Job description

Field has entered its next phase of growth. In June, the UK energy regulator, Ofgem, selected 16 long-duration energy storage projects to progress to delivery. Field were awarded 5 of these. Collectively, in MWh terms, our projects are approximately 3 times the capacity of all battery energy storage installed in the UK to date. We currently have 4 projects totalling over 1GWh of energy storage in construction in GB with lots more delivery to do. **Your Mission** As Lead Grid Connection Engineer (Delivery) you will be responsible for leading grid compliance deliverables on some of the world’s longest duration BESS projects from pre-construction right through to FON (Final Operational Notification) The role requires hands-on, pro-active management of your projects and key stakeholders (e.g. BoP contractors, BESS Suppliers, Consultants, TO’s and NESO). You therefore need to be highly engaged, resilient, execution-focused and detail-oriented. You’ll need to be passionate about power systems engineering, well-versed in UK grid code, and work well as part of a multi-disciplinary project team. You will report into our Head of Delivery (Michael) and work closely with in-house experts across Engineering, QHSE, Procurement, Legal and Development. If you’ve managed the end-to-end compliance process on transmission-connected renewable projects then we’d love to hear from you, particularly if you have experience on projects in north Scotland.
