We currently have a vacancy for a qualified construction project manager to join the Premier League Stadium Fund as a Technical Manager to support the Stadium Accreditation Programme and to lead on the technical/construction aspects of Premier League Stadium Fund grant projects.

About the Premier League Stadium Fund

The Premier League Stadium Fund, fully funded by the Premier League and administered by the Football Foundation, provides capital grants to improve stadium facilities for players, supporters, and officials. It supports clubs across the football pyramid, including those in the National League System (Steps 1–6), Women’s Football Pyramid (Tiers 1–4), and clubs promoted to the English Football League. The fund covers ground-grading requirements and includes a Club Development Fund to help clubs grow and improve sustainability.

About the Football Foundation

Over the past 22 years, the Foundation has awarded over 23,000 grants worth £877 million to improve grassroots football facilities across England. With record investment this year, it remains committed to ensuring everyone has a great place to play—regardless of gender, race, disability, or location.

The role

Working as part of a team of Technical Managers, you will support our Stadium Accreditation Programme and will lead on the technical/construction aspects of Premier League Stadium Fund grant projects.

You will support the Stadium Accreditation Programme by helping establish new ways of working following the initial assessment of approximately 1,000 stadiums across England and Wales. You will have responsibility for a set of leagues and clubs across the Midlands and the East of England and you will work with them to ensure their compliance while also delivering against the objectives outlined within the new Premier League Stadium Fund Facilities Strategy.

As part of this process, you will provide professional advice and guidance to applicants to assist with the development of capital projects, within the National League System (NLS) and Women’s Football Pyramid (WFP).

You’ll support clubs in addressing Stadium Accreditation findings, assess their grant applications, and oversee funded projects to ensure construction is completed on time and to plan.

What are we looking for?

You’ll need a construction-related degree or professional qualification (for example RICS, CIOB, RIBA or equivalent), or the equivalent experience in a construction management or technical role. You’ll have expertise in construction processes, and experience of delivering facilities from inception to completion. Experience in sports facility construction is desirable but not essential.

You’ll need excellent people skills, with the ability to engage stakeholders at all levels and handle challenging situations confidently.
