You don’t need to be passionate about football to apply, but you must have a genuine interest in the charity sector and share our passion for getting more people across the country taking part in sports and being active.
The role
Working within the Technical function of the Grant Management Team you will lead on the technical/construction aspects of capital grant projects, ensuring their design, procurement and delivery meet relevant requirements, whilst safeguarding the Foundation’s investment.

This is an exciting opportunity to use your professional experience in construction to help improve lives and strengthen communities through grassroots football.
What are we looking for?
You will need a construction-related degree or professional qualification (for example RICS, CIOB, RIBA or equivalent) and professional experience in a construction management or technical role. Experience in sports facility construction is desirable but not essential.
You must also have great people skills and the ability to work with people at all levels, from clients and suppliers to volunteers. We are looking for someone who can inspire and excite our applicants. You must be accurate, systematic and flexible with the ability to juggle a wide range of activities.
As you will work across the country, you must hold a current, clean driving licence, have access to your own vehicle, and be willing to undertake site visits to be able to undertake the role.
