About The Role:

The Project Director is responsible for the delivery of the Hockey Centre for Excellence project to the approved scope, budget, and time. The Hockey Centre for

• a competition pitch to Fédération Internationale de Hockey (FIH) standards, including lighting, LED boards and broadcast infrastructure.
• one competition pitch to FIH standards, including lighting.
• one full-size training pitch to FIH standards including lighting.
• indoor training facilities.
• a central building located between the two internationally accredited pitches incorporating change room facilities, high-performance strength and conditioning and sports medicine facilities.
