A bit about Field

Field is an international developer, owner and 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 Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) projects across the UK, Italy, Spain and Germany - and strong financial backing. Our most recent Group fundraise was a £200 million investment from 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 group of fun, curious and entrepreneurial people who really want to make an impact. Together, we will show that batteries are a critical part of our energy infrastructure
