Your Mission
As our GB Project Development Lead, you will be at the heart of delivering Field’s 4 GW+ battery storage portfolio. This is a senior, hands-on role where you’ll have the freedom to run your own projects while helping the wider team grow. If you're looking for a place where you can actually see the results of your work on the ground, this is it.
Key Responsibilities
This is a big and varied role with plenty of room to make your mark. Your day-to-day will responsibilities will generally include:
Project management
You’ll be the Project Manager for 1–2 of our large, transmission-scale battery projects. This means you’ll:
- Take full ownership: You’re in charge of the project schedules, budgets, and risk registers, and you’ll make sure health and safety (HSE) is always front and center.
- Navigate the planning process: You’ll lead the consenting process—everything from managing applications and engaging with councils and local communities, to keeping our external consultants on track.
- Secure the land:
Line Management
You’re not just working on your own projects; you’re a leader in the GB Development team. This means you’ll:
- Be a mentor: You’ll manage a few of our Project Managers, acting as the person they go to when they hit a technical problem or programme conflicts.
- Set the standard: You’ll help the team apply lessons learned and continually improve - this will cover everything from our planning applications and designs to our reporting and processes.
- Be the planning expert: You’ll be the go-to for planning advice across the business, especially helping our construction team figure out how to amend designs without slowing things down.
GB Development Strategy
You’ll also have a seat at the table when it comes to deciding how Field grows. You’ll:
- Shape our future: You’ll use what you’re learning and hearing on the ground to define our overall development strategy.
- Watch the big picture: You’ll keep an eye on budgets and risks across the whole portfolio to make sure we’re staying consistent and smart with our spending.
- Stay ahead of the curve: You’ll keep up with what’s happening in the battery world—new tech, market shifts, and revenue updates—and explain what it means for our projects.

The skills you need :
- 4+ years in project development and consents, ideally within the renewable energy sector.
- Project management skills, including experience in project schedules, budgets, and risk registers
- Strong understanding of UK consenting regimes (including environmental assessments)
