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.\n\nIn 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.\n\n Role Overview\nCore 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.\nYou 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 also be able to lead the on-boarding of any additional resource needed to build Field’s projects.\n\nYou 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.\nKey Responsibilities\n Main Responsibilities\nManaging 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\nSupport 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\nWork with the in-house design team to ensure any value engineering opportunities are captured\nSupporting the procurement and legal team throughout tenders and contract negotiations\nOwnership of Italian Employer Requirements\nPrepare an updated pre-construction information pack and other key contractual documents.\nLead any early works package required in advance of main contract signatures (e.g. to start detailed contractor design for long lead-time equipment)\nDevelop and own the project risk register, project schedule and project budget (what we call the “basics” from which all activities are prioritised)\nEnsure the full project team is aligned on actions, timescales and responsibilities\n\nManaging the construction phase to meet agreed time, quality and budget targets, safelyLead by example and ensure our health & safety culture is adopted on all projects\nManage our construction contracts, including the BESS supplier, BoP/EPC contractor, TSO, grid-compliance and any other packages of work required for the project\nEnsure Field Italia is commercially protected when there are delays and variations\nDeliver all “Client” responsibilities noted within the employer’s requirements and interface matrix of construction contracts\nCarefully manage internal and external stakeholders\nEnsure key project management documents are prepared to an excellent standard in line with the business reporting calendar\nKeep owning and sharpening the project master programme/GANTT through construction until COD\n\nEnsure the project seamlessly enters commercial operation & close-out contractsManage our internal engineering resource and contractors to develop and implement a commissioning and energisation plan\nCoordinate with our commercial operations team on revenue readiness activities\nHave a clear understanding on how our construction schedules impact on revenue streams (e.g. Capacity Market/MACSE milestone dates)\nSupport procurement and commercial operations with the on-boarding and integration of Asset Management contractors\nAgree (and manage the close-out) of construction defects and settle final accounts with support of the contract manager\n\nLine ManagementEventually you’ll be taking on line-management responsibility for other team members\nSeparate from project responsibilities, you’ll help shape their workload and priorities\nYou’ll help them create career plans and provide regular and clearly-communicated feedback to help them develop\n\nSkills, Knowledge and Expertise\nA bit about you\nYou care about the craft of Project Management - your documents are clean, your registers are live and you hold the team to that standard\nYou enjoy leading a range of disciplines, maybe some of them are outside your area of expertise\nYou communicate openly - you keep teammates informed, ask when you need input and share what you know\nYou’re very organised - you’ll be spinning a few plates at once and you’ll be the glue that holds the project together\nYou’re enthusiastic, curious and knowledgeable about the energy storage industry\n Essential Skills\nEngineering masters degree or similar technical qualification\n5-8 years of experience in similar roles \nYou have managed the delivery of at least 2 TSO connected renewable energy projects or BESS through to the end of construction for an IPP/EPC contractor \nYou have excellent practical project leadership skills and take pride in your project documents and reports\nYou are ready to line-manage and develop other project managers in the team \nStrong formal project management skills, with the use of appropriate tools\nAbility to take a pragmatic and proactive approach to health, safety and quality management\nYou have strong commercial understanding and experience managing various contract types \nYou have a thorough understanding of construction safety laws and regulations (D.Lgs. 81/08 e smi) and a flawless record of applying them\nYou create collaborative and cooperative environments for project teams.
