About this position

About Brite Nites

Brite Nites is a nationally recognized leader in custom holiday and year‑round lighting design. Since 1993, we’ve brought spaces to life with immersive lighting experiences for residential, commercial, and municipal clients. Our reputation is built on creativity, quality, and exceptional service.

We're currently hiring seasonal Lighting Technicians for our 2026 season.

About the role

What the work is actually like (read this carefully):

• You’ll be outside all day in cold, rain, and sometimes snow
• 10+ hour days, 6 days a week during peak season
• You’ll be on ladders and roofs daily — if you’re not comfortable at heights, this isn’t the right fit
• The work is physical — climbing, carrying equipment, repetitive overhead work
• The season is compressed: ~3‑4 months of intense work (potential for extended season)

If that sounds like your kind of thing, keep reading.

Pay: $1,200 – $1,800 per week depending on experience and role

Schedule: Full‑time seasonal, training starts September 2026

Training: Provided — no prior Christmas lighting experience needed

What you’ll do

• Install Christmas lighting on homes and commercial buildings
• Work on ladders (up to 32 ft), roofs, and occasionally in trees or on cherry pickers
• Hang, clip, and staple light strands along rooflines, trees, and structures
• Work in 2‑person crews serving residential clients
• Potential for takedown work through January/February (not guaranteed for all hires)

Qualifications

Who does well in this role:

• People who’ve finished a full season of physical outdoor work before (landscaping, roofing, painting, construction, tree trimming, guiding, wildfire crews)
• People comfortable with heights and changing weather
• People who show up on time and finish what they start
• People who work well on a 2‑person team with minimal supervision

What we offer:

• Consistent biweekly pay throughout the season
• Paid training before season starts
• Crew‑based work — you’ll have a partner, not work alone
• Housing assistance may be available for out‑of‑area candidates
• A seasonal gig that bridges the gap between your main season and spring

No resume required. We’ll ask you a few quick questions and get back to you within 48 hours.

The pay range for this role is:

• 1,000 – 1,600 USD per week (HQ)
