About this position

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)

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

• 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 be working alone
• Housing assistance may be available for out‑of‑area candidates
• A seasonal gig that bridges the gap between your main season and spring

Additional Pay Information
