THE ROLE - TECHNICAL PROJECT MANAGER

Technical Project Managers (TPMs) are responsible for the scrutiny of the technical/construction aspects of capital grant applications and ensure the successful completion of new and improved sports facilities. The role works in collaboration with partner organisations to provide professional advice and guidance to applicants to assist with the development of capital projects, both at grass-roots level and within the Football League and National League system.

TPMs form part of a Technical team that are responsible for managing the risks associated with facility investment. This will include applications to both the Football Foundation (Foundation) and Premier League Stadium Fund (PLSF).

This responsibility is in two parts: initially TPMs will be required to work in conjunction with Delivery Managers to ensure that the design of facilities is appropriate to the outcomes that are to be delivered, and that the procurement provides best value. Secondly, and following a positive funding decision, TPMs will oversee the construction process to ensure that the build is completed to programme, to budget and in accordance with the agreed specification, as well as managing the payment of grants to applicants.

You don’t need to follow football or have a detailed knowledge of how to improve grass pitches to apply, but it is expected that you appreciate the power of sport to change lives and have a genuine interest in using your skills and experience to help the Foundation achieve our charitable and strategic objectives.
