Roles in battery storage can be divided into Engineering and technology (such as battery design, engineers in electrical, mechanical, chemical as well as field service engineering)  research (Research and development technicians as well as research scientist), production, operations and maintenance (such as maintenance technician and operations manager), data science analysis and environmental safety specialists.

1. Working in battery storage requires a combination of specific educational qualifications, technical skills, and relevant experience.  This is certainly a field where pursuing continuous education and certifications are important.  In engineering -  Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field. Advanced degrees (Master's or Ph.D.) are often preferred for research roles. In field services - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. In Field Operations - Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations Management.                                                                                                                                              
2. Undergraduate degrees or equivalent knowledge in agricultural engineering, agronomy, computer science, data science, biology, environmental science, or related fields. In some cases, PHD in Biology is required.

Across most disciplines these are high valued skills -  Communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and adaptability are important across all roles.

Salary ranges may vary based on region of the country, company size, if equity is a major component and role. Some regions are in higher demand for certain battery storage jobs.  Listed below are some ranges that could prove useful
