Look into the resque-loner gem. It allows you to make job queues unique. All you do is include Resque::Plugins::UniqueJob in the job classes you you to make unique.

class CacheSweeper
  include Resque::Plugins::UniqueJob


  class << self
    def perform(project_name)
       # some code
    end
  end
end
