Coordinate with technical teams to navigate UK grid connection requirements, planning constraints, and revenue scheme rules.

Desired Qualifications

An MBA or equivalent commercial postgraduate qualification is strongly preferred.

The role:

The Regional Commercial & Procurement Manager (UK) will be a core commercial driver executing Field’s Balance of Plant (BoP) and grid connection procurement strategy across our UK BESS pipeline. You will be a hands-on commercial doer who bridges engineering specifications with sharp contract negotiation. This is a role for an energetic technical engineer and commercial negotiator who rolls up their sleeves to structure tenders, negotiate contract terms directly, and eliminate interface risks to deliver projects safely, fast, and on budget.

Main responsibilities:

UK Sourcing & BoP Execution

Hands-on Procurement: Own and execute the full end-to-end procurement process for UK BoP packages, including drafting RFQs, structuring tender packs, conducting bid evaluations, and driving direct price and contract negotiations.
Commercial Engineering & Estimation: Work closely with engineering and estimating teams to challenge and optimize BoP cost models, unbundling supplier quotes to strip out unnecessary risk premiums while keeping projects bankable.
UK Market Intelligence: Continuously map the UK construction and HV supply chain, keeping real-time intelligence on contractor capacity, material lead times, and pricing trends across UK DNOs and National Grid connections.

Contractual & Technical Execution

Direct Contract Negotiation: Act as the primary lead negotiator for BoP and long-lead equipment agreements, negotiating robust terms under NEC or FIDIC frameworks without relying solely on external legal teams.
Interface & Risk Control: Establish clear Employer's Requirements and boundary matrices on-site to actively eliminate interface risks between BESS OEMs, BoP contractors, and grid operators.
Cost Feedback Loop: Build mechanisms comparing estimated costs against actual execution data to continuously refine Field’s UK CapEx benchmarks.

Stakeholder Management & Growth

Contractor Networks: Build strong, accountable relationships with UK Tier-1 and regional BoP contractors to secure execution capacity.
Grid & Regulatory Alignment: Navigate UK grid connection requirements (132kV / 400kV), planning constraints, and revenue scheme rules alongside technical teams.

Technical Foundation: Master’s degree (MSc / MEng) in Engineering (Electrical, Power, Civil, or related) is required.
Business Qualification: An MBA or equivalent commercial post-graduate qualification is strongly preferred.
Industry Experience: 5+ years of proven hands-on experience in Renewable Energy procurement, commercial management, or high-value infrastructure construction in the UK.
Commercial Grit: Demonstrated experience in directly structuring tenders, unbundling cost models, and negotiating complex construction contracts (NEC/FIDIC).
Language Skills: Full fluency in English.

About the Company

Field

Develops, builds, operates grid-scale battery storage

The company develops, builds, and runs large-scale battery storage projects to support a greener power grid. It starts by creating battery storage sites in the UK and Europe, which store renewable energy when plenty of sun or wind is available and release it when the grid needs it, reducing reliance on carbon-heavy power. The business also builds its own technology platform to optimize how these assets are used, helping projects scale faster and earn better returns. What sets it apart is its vertically integrated approach—covering development, construction, operation, and asset optimization in one company—and its plan to expand across regions to tackle the climate problem. Its goal is to help reach net zero by solving energy storage, grid reliability, and heating decarbonization at scale.
