Construction Lead

A bit about Field
Field has been operating in Italy since September 2022, with an office in Rome that has grown to a team of 12 over the past two years, and is set to double in the next couple of years. It's a group of specialists with diversified backgrounds - spanning project development, grid, origination, permitting, legal, strategy, finance, and electrical and civil engineering - bringing collective experience across 3+ GW of photovoltaic, 1.5+ GW of onshore wind, and 500+ MW of OCGT plants developed and constructed in Italy, alongside the origination of 3+ GW of BESS. That mix of deep Italian renewables know-how and fresh BESS expertise has translated into a strong, diversified pipeline from North to South of Italy, with 400 MW already authorised in 2026 and more than 1 GW of additional BESS capacity in planning. We plan to put most of these into construction ourselves, starting in 2027.

That mix of deep Italian renewables know-how and fresh BESS expertise has translated into a strong,
diversified pipeline from North to South of Italy, with 400 MW already authorised in 2026 and more than 1 GW of additional BESS capacity in planning. We plan to put most of these into construction ourselves, starting in 2027.
In addition, our UK team has recently been awarded several long duration energy storage contracts that will make Field one of the biggest players in European flexibility and we intend to match that growth in Italy.
Role Overview
Core to Field’s mission is developing and constructing energy storage assets, and this role is right at the heart of that mission. We're seeking a dynamic individual to manage transmission-connected BESS projects through pre-construction, detailed design, construction, commissioning and handover to Operations.
You will report directly to our Direttore Tecnico (Diego) and work closely with our in-house Project Engineers, BoP Contractors, BESS Suppliers and the TSO. You will be supported internally by specialists on topics such as health and safety, grid code compliance, battery systems, planning, procurement, legal and contract management. You will also be able to lead the on-boarding of any additional resource needed to build Field’s projects.
You should have a strong project delivery background and significant experience in the delivery of grid-connected energy projects in Italy,
particularly at transmission level. BESS experience would be really beneficial, but it is not essential if you have experience of delivering similar projects across other technologies.
Key Responsibilities
Main Responsibilities
- Managing the pre-construction phase of the project (following end of the planning & development phase, or following the acquisition of a RTB Asset)
- Lead an internal project team in the run‑up to Final Investment Decision (FID), with a sharp focus on programme and risks
- Support planning conditions’ discharge activities with the development team and engagement with landowners, with the support of the origination team, to ensure land-related obligations are met
- Work with the in-house design team to ensure any value engineering opportunities are captured
- Supporting the procurement and legal team throughout tenders and contract negotiations
- Ownership of Italian Employer Requirements
- Prepare an updated pre-construction information pack and other key contractual documents.
- Lead any early works package required in advance of main contract signatures (e.g. to start detailed contractor design for long lead‑time equipment)
- Develop and own the project risk register, project schedule and project budget (what we call the “basics” from which all activities are prioritised)
- Ensure the full project team is aligned on actions, timescales and responsibilities
- Managing the construction phase to meet agreed time, quality and budget targets, safely
- Lead by example and ensure our health & safety culture is adopted on all projects
- Manage our construction contracts, including the BESS supplier,
