Production Services Supervisor

Location: Edmonton, AB | In-Person | Full-Time| Union Position

About the Role

CKUA is on the lookout for a talented Production Services Supervisor that plays a key role in the technical heartbeat of our programming and content creation. This position brings together a unique mix of coordination, leadership, and technical expertise to support high-quality, multi-platform content, whether on air, online, or on stage. From library and archives to studio logistics and technical production, this role is at the center of the systems and services that help bring CKUA’s artistic vision to life.

This is a full-time, in-person role based in downtown Edmonton, working alongside a talented and collaborative team, including the Content Director, Senior Producer, and colleagues across departments. The successful candidate will bring strong leadership and supervisory skills, a keen understanding of production workflows, and a passion for the power of audio, music, and storytelling.

How You’ll Make an Impact

As Production Services Supervisor, your work ensures that CKUA’s production infrastructure runs smoothly and effectively, supporting everything from daily radio programming and archival projects to remote music events and special broadcasts.

You’ll guide and support the people and processes behind our library, archives, and technical services, ensuring these vital areas are aligned, integrated, and evolving with the needs of a changing media landscape.

You’ll be hands-on in planning and coordinating production resources, ensuring technical standards are met, and that the content being captured, produced, and shared meets the high expectations of our listeners and partners. Whether helping digitize CKUA’s rich archives, preparing studios for live performances, or supporting the systems that track music usage and reporting, your leadership will help maintain the quality and reliability CKUA is known for.

You’ll also play a key role in ensuring CKUA’s internal production guidelines and regulatory obligations are consistently met, helping us fulfill our licensing requirements and uphold our commitment to ethical and inclusive practices.

What You Bring

You’ve built a career that blends technical know-how with team leadership. You understand how to manage systems, equipment, and workflows, but also how to support people doing complex, creative work. Your background may include experience in radio, sound production, digital media, archives, or related fields, but what sets you apart is your ability to see how all the pieces fit together and keep things running smoothly behind the scenes.

You bring curiosity, organization, and a strong sense of collaboration. You can move between big-picture planning and hands-on problem solving, and you have a track record of navigating deadlines, resource coordination, and competing priorities. You’re comfortable supervising a team and creating an environment where others can do their best work.

Just as important is your respect for diverse communities and your awareness of the role media plays in shaping culture. You communicate with care, represent CKUA thoughtfully, and believe in the value of public media that reflects and serves a wide range of voices and experiences.

You’re curious, adaptable, and always looking for better ways to do things. You bring a collaborative spirit and a respect for CKUA’s values of Community, Diversity, Inclusion, Creativity, Curiosity, and Authenticity.

You’re ready to be part of a team that’s passionate about what they do and committed to making a difference and bringing together community.
