Novo's Holiday Lights is hiring a Christmas Light Installation Lead for the 2026 season in Indianapolis. This is not a "hang some lights and go home" job. We need someone who already knows this business: you can walk a property, measure it, price it, help sell it, and then lead the crew that installs it clean and safe. What you'll do:
- Walk homes and businesses and measure rooflines, ridges, trees, and bushes
- Build quotes and price jobs (per linear foot, materials, labor, takedown)
- Help sell: walk homeowners through options and close the job
- Lead installs: C9s on rooflines, clips, mini lights on trees and shrubs, wreaths, timers
- Run the crew, keep ladder safety tight, and check quality before leaving every site
- Handle service calls (dead strands, timers, tripped GFCIs)
- Lead takedowns in January What you need:
- At least 1 full season installing holiday lights (lead or quoting experience strongly preferred)
- Know how to price a job by the foot and estimate materials
- Comfortable on ladders and roofs, in the cold
- Reliable vehicle and valid driver's license
- Able to pass a background check
- You show up on time, every time Pay and schedule:
- $24 to $30/hr based on experience
- Plus $25 per install finished on time with zero callbacks, and a $500 bonus for finishing the full season through takedowns
- Season runs now through mid-January (takedowns)
- Top performers get first shot at year-round work with Novo's (cleaning, windows, gutters) To apply: tell us how many seasons you've installed lights, and how you'd price a 2-story home with 150 feet of roofline.
