Group Made-to-Measure Projects Coordinator

At Essential Soft Furnishings (ESF), part of the Panaz Group, we are looking for a highly organised and detail-focused Group Made-to-Measure Projects Coordinator to join our team at our Blackburn manufacturing facility.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to join a fast-paced, collaborative team environment where you can make a real impact and contribute to delivering high-quality, bespoke solutions for our customers. You will take ownership of multiple workflows, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget and to the highest standards.

You’ll be joining a long-established Lancashire manufacturer with a global reputation for innovation, technical expertise, and high-performance contract textiles, supplied worldwide across the hospitality, healthcare, and commercial interiors sectors.

About the Role

You will play a key role in managing soft furnishings projects from initial order through to manufacture and installation, acting as a central point of coordination across internal teams, clients, suppliers, and installers.

Key Responsibilities

  • Coordinate multiple workflows simultaneously, ensuring clear and timely communication with both internal and external stakeholders
  • Process quotations and orders, accurately inputting all relevant details into quoting and ERP systems
  • Oversee soft furnishings orders from initial processing through to delivery and installation, ensuring alignment with budgets and timelines
  • Monitor project progress, performance, risks, costs, and outcomes with a strong focus on accuracy and organisation
  • Track and control project expenditure to ensure financial targets are met
  • Produce and deliver regular progress reports, highlighting key milestones, risks, and updates
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients, suppliers, fitters, and internal teams
  • Raise invoices promptly and follow up to ensure timely payment and resolution
  • Identify, manage, and mitigate project risks
  • Act as the point of contact for production teams regarding scheduling queries

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
