Key Responsibilities

What You’ll Be Doing

Team leadership

  • Leading and managing a direct report, taking responsibility for the team's overall delivery against targets; and
  • Budget management, KPI monitoring, and reporting.

Strategic input on novel technologies, including:

  • Scanning the development landscape to spot opportunities for what to develop next;
  • Working autonomously to identify the commercial and land-related implications of novel and emerging technologies; and
  • Assessing site and land suitability requirements specific to new technology types, and advising the wider business accordingly.

Site identification and lead generation, including:

  • Using up-to-date market knowledge to identify potential new development opportunities;
  • Keeping abreast of developments in the transmission grid and connections application process to propose the best areas to try and secure a grid connection;
  • Using detailed knowledge of planning, environmental, and physical constraints to complete thorough site suitability and commercial viability assessments; and
  • Applying land expertise to structure, negotiate, and close land agreements.

Landowner engagement, including:

  • Applying strong communication skills to build relationships and negotiate with landowners, agents, and solicitors;
  • Demonstrating a deep understanding of the needs, concerns, and priorities of landowners and their agents; and
  • Actively fostering a wide network of external industry contacts, ensuring Field's reputation reflects positively across the market.

Securing and closing land deals, including:

  • Leading complex negotiations and using commercial clauses to protect Field from a property and project delivery perspective;
  • Optimizing contract terms and conditions to align with legal obligations, industry standards, and company goals;
  • Taking personal ownership of closing third party agreements — land options, easements, servitudes, and other commercial arrangements — to keep projects moving into delivery; and
  • Working autonomously to identify and resolve obstacles that could delay deal completion.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

A Bit About Field

Field builds, owns, and operates renewable energy infrastructure. We develop grid-scale BESS sites across the UK, Italy, Spain, and Germany, backed by £200 million investment from CVC DIF. Our mission is to continue to grow internationally and develop a strong global BESS portfolio.

Batteries have a big job to do. They store renewable energy for when it's needed most, reducing grid intermittency and displacing carbon-intensive generation. Without storage, renewables can't scale — and we're here to change that. We have 300 MWh operational, 300 MWh under construction, and 4.5 GWh in development.

We're a team of experts in our fields — from engineers and construction managers to traders and data scientists — who roll up their sleeves and move fast. We're curious, we share openly, and we're genuinely motivated by the mission.

Our Values

  • Work for the team - We are friendly and approachable. We make time for each other, value diverse perspectives, and learn and grow together.
  • Do it right - We prioritise doing things right, never cutting corners. Safety comes first, and we consider our impact on communities and the environment. We act with integrity always.
  • Move fast - We’re doers. We take responsibility, deliver on promises, and get things done. FAST.
  • Know your stuff - We’re curious self-starters, always learning, adapting, and improving. No question is too small. We own our growth.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Diverse teams make better teams. Field is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment which is as representative as possible of our society. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, disability, gender expression, marriage/civil partnership status, pregnancy/maternity status, race, nationality, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We published a blog discussing our findings and learnings from our first Equity, Diversity and Inclusion survey in March 2023 which you can read here.
