Salary: £25,000–£28,000 per annum, dependent on experience
Working pattern: Full-time
Role type: Permanent
Bobblehat Ltd is a growing commercial interior, shopfitting and in-house manufacturing business based in Barnstaple, Devon. We deliver commercial fit-out projects across the UK, working with clients from design and planning through to production, installation and completion.
As the business continues to grow, we are looking for a highly organised and proactive Production & Procurement Coordinator to support our production, project and workshop teams.
This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build a career in commercial interiors, shopfitting, production management or project management.
The Role
The Production & Procurement Coordinator will help keep projects moving by supporting the team with production planning, supplier coordination, procurement, project administration and communication between departments.
Reporting to the Production Manager, you will work closely with our project managers, technical designers, production team, workshop and suppliers to help ensure materials, information and actions are organised, tracked and completed on time.
This is an opportunity to learn every stage of a commercial fit-out project — from technical design and procurement through to manufacturing and installation. You will work alongside experienced project managers, designers and production staff, giving you genuine opportunities to progress into Production Management or Project Management.
Key Responsibilities
The role will include:
- reporting to the Production Manager;
- supporting the production and project teams with day-to-day coordination;
- helping organise materials, supplier quotes, orders and deliveries;
- liaising with suppliers, subcontractors and internal team members;
- assisting with procurement and purchasing administration;
- helping ensure materials and components are ordered in good time;
- tracking delivery dates and following up with suppliers;
- supporting production schedules and project timelines;
- helping maintain accurate project and production records;
- updating internal systems, trackers and project boards;
- assisting with cost tracking and supplier information;
- helping resolve queries between design, production, workshop and project teams;
- supporting communication between office, workshop and site teams;
- attending internal project and production meetings where required;
- helping improve processes as the business continues to grow.
About You
Previous experience in shopfitting, construction or manufacturing would be helpful, but it is not essential. We are more interested in finding the right person with the right attitude, organisation and communication skills.
We are looking for someone who has:
- exceptional organisational skills;
- strong attention to detail;
- good communication skills;
- a positive and proactive attitude;
- commercial awareness;

- good IT and administration skills;

- construction, shopfitting, interiors or manufacturing;
- production planning or scheduling;
- stock, materials or logistics coordination;
- Monday.com or similar project management systems;

What We Are Looking For
The right person does not need to know everything about production from day one. We can teach the technical and production side of the role.
What matters most is that you are organised, reliable, positive, commercially aware and keen to learn.
You will need to be comfortable communicating with different people, following up on actions, keeping information accurate and helping the team stay on top of project requirements.
Progression Opportunity
This role offers genuine scope to grow with the business.
