Breakfast Show Producer
Aberdeen
Full-time | Permanent
Be the voice behind the morning.
Every day, thousands of listeners start their day with us at Original 106. Whether they're driving to work, preparing for the school run, heading out on deliveries or making their first coffee of the morning, our breakfast shows are part of their routine.
We're looking for a Breakfast Show Producer to help shape that experience.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a live broadcast environment and wants to play a key role in creating engaging, audience-first radio. You'll be at the heart of our breakfast output, working closely with presenters, news teams and colleagues across the wider radio network to ensure every show is compelling, professionally produced and delivered seamlessly.
But this role goes beyond producing great radio.
You'll also take ownership of the production systems, workflows and assets that keep our stations running smoothly, helping to strengthen consistency, reliability and collaboration across the network.
If you're passionate about radio, love solving problems, and get a buzz from creating content that connects with listeners, we'd love to hear from you.

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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Be Doing
As Breakfast Show Producer, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day production and delivery of our breakfast programme, ensuring it remains engaging, technically sound and audience-focused.
You'll:
- Produce and coordinate live breakfast output
- Support presenters with programme planning, timings and content flow
- Deliver presenting shifts and programme cover across the network when required
- Create and manage production elements including sweepers, credits, beds and audio assets
- Ensure automation systems and schedules are accurate and ready ahead of broadcast
- Work closely with Radio News to integrate bulletins and news content effectively
- Support outside broadcasts and special programming activity
- Maintain production libraries and shared assets across the network

- Act as a key contact for day-to-day production and technical queries
Requirements
