Job description

Christmas Lighting Installer (Seasonal)

Brite Nites Scottsdale, Arizona, United States

About this position

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/week depending on experience and role

Schedule

Full‑time seasonal, training starts September 2026

Provided — no prior Christmas lighting experience needed

• Potential for takedown work through January/February (not guaranteed for all hires)

Qualifications

Who does well in this role:

• People who have 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
