We are the Football Foundation - the Premier League, the FA and government’s charity that delivers outstanding grassroots facilities, more and better places to play, transforming lives and communities where it is needed most.
As a Technical Project Executive, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality sports facilities by guiding and supporting applicants through the technical aspects of capital grant projects. Working within an experienced team, you’ll assess the design, procurement, and delivery of construction projects—safeguarding the Foundation’s investment and ensuring compliance with national standards.
Day to day, you’ll review technical plans, carry out site inspections, advise on risks, and help process grants efficiently. You’ll also support applicants throughout the funding journey and respond to technical enquiries.
This is an exciting opportunity for a newly qualified graduate—or a more experienced graduate seeking a new direction. You’ll gain hands-on experience in all aspects of facility development, supported by experienced Technical Project Managers (TPMs) who will mentor you as you progress towards becoming a TPM yourself.
Joining at the early stages of your career, you’ll benefit from a supportive, collaborative environment. The Foundation is committed to helping you build the skills and confidence needed to step into a full TPM role within 2–3 years.

This year, the Foundation will be investing more money than ever into facilities across England and is committed to improving the experience of playing football for everyone.
What are we looking for
A Graduate with a construction-related degree — such as architecture, building surveying, planning, civil engineering, quantity surveying, project management, or construction management — or hold an entry-level construction qualification with at least 12 months’ experience in a construction-related role.
You’ll have a sound understanding of construction principles, procurement, and project management, with a keen eye for detail and a methodical approach to reviewing designs and technical documentation.
Strong interpersonal skills are key. You’ll be comfortable working with a range of people — from contractors and clients to volunteers — and able to explain technical matters in plain English. We’re looking for someone who can engage and inspire our applicants.
You’ll be organised, accurate, and adaptable, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities. Strong IT skills, particularly in Excel, are essential, along with a positive, can-do attitude and a genuine desire to learn.
A current, clean driving licence and access to your own vehicle are required, as regular travel is part of the role.
What can we offer you
