We specialize in professionally installed, permanent exterior lighting systems for homes, businesses, HOA entrances, docks, decks, patios, and other outdoor spaces. Our company is growing quickly, and we're looking for dependable, hardworking people who take pride in what they build. This is not a seasonal holiday-lighting job. This is a full-time skilled installation position with strong earning potential and opportunities to advance as our company continues to grow. If you're mechanically inclined, comfortable working with your hands, and like seeing the results of your work at the end of every day, we want to talk to you. What You'll Do As a Programmable Lighting Technician, you'll work with a team to professionally install permanent exterior lighting systems on residential and commercial properties.
Your responsibilities will include:
Measuring and installing custom, cut-to-fit aluminum lighting channel Installing lighting along rooflines, soffits, decks, docks, patios, and commercial structures Splicing and running low-voltage wiring Installing and wiring power supplies and system components Using ladders, lifts, and other installation equipment Testing completed systems and ensuring a clean, professional installation Interacting professionally with customers and representing our company well Maintaining a clean and organized job site Much of this work is performed at heights and on ladders.

We believe great work should be rewarded. Additional leadership and advancement opportunities are available as the company grows, and we strongly prefer to promote from within. A Different Kind of Pay Structure Once training is complete, you're paid based on the work assigned for the day—not simply by how long you can stay on the clock. Many installations can be completed in less than a full workday, and your daily pay remains the same even when your team finishes early. That means becoming better and more efficient at your job can give you something valuable: higher earning potential without necessarily working longer hours.
