Under the message “Somerset – your future just got electric!”, Agratas has launched new interest pages for future roles in Production and Operations, Maintenance, and Quality, with each category currently marked for February 2026.

The announcement signals the next stage in Agratas’ growing presence in Somerset and gives local people an early opportunity to put themselves forward before vacancies formally go live.

Agratas says it is bringing world-class battery technology, hundreds of new jobs, and relentless energy to Somerset, and is encouraging interest from a wide range of people, including skilled engineers, production line operatives and those ready to begin a new career in clean energy.

The business is part of the Tata group and describes itself as a global battery company focused on supporting the energy transition by putting people first, innovating with integrity and working across the energy ecosystem in a way that benefits the wider world.

For Somerset, this latest announcement is another positive sign of momentum behind the Agratas development and the opportunities it is expected to create for local people, families and the wider economy.

Those interested in future roles can now register their interest directly with Agratas in the following areas:

  • Somerset Production and Operations roles
