FFE Designer/ Furniture Project Coordinator

makes sure a furniture package goes from client brief → specification → order → delivery → installation, without things falling through the cracks.

In a company like Build Generation, the role would likely sit between the design team, client, suppliers, project managers and site team.

Typical responsibilities

Understand the brief – what furniture the client needs, quantities, budget, style, finishes and deadlines.
Furniture specification – prepare schedules showing items, manufacturers, product codes, colours, fabrics, dimensions and quantities.
Quotations & procurement – obtain supplier quotes, compare costs, negotiate where appropriate and raise/track purchase orders.
Supplier management – liaise with furniture manufacturers and dealers to confirm lead times, production, finishes and delivery dates.
Coordinate with the design team – make sure furniture fits the layouts and design intent, and resolve issues such as dimensions or clashes.
Coordinate with the construction/project team – ensure furniture delivery and installation works with the wider fit-out programme.
Track the project – maintain spreadsheets, budgets, order trackers and delivery schedules.
Quality control – check that what arrives is what was specified and deal with damaged, missing or incorrect items.
Installation – coordinate installers, delivery access, floor protection, storage and snagging.
Client communication – provide updates and flag any risks around cost, availability or programme
