Job description

Lighting Installer / Lead Installer Trainee

Peak Outdoor Lighting is hiring a full-time Lighting Installer / Lead Installer Trainee.

This is a hands‑on job for someone who wants to learn a skilled trade, work outside, and grow with a small company. You do not need lighting experience to apply. We are looking for someone reliable, coachable, hard‑working, and interested in building real‑world skills.

This could be a great fit for a college student, recent graduate, trade school student, or someone early in their career who wants more than a basic hourly job.

You will start by learning landscape lighting installs, repairs, troubleshooting, and holiday lighting. Over time, this role can grow into leading installs, running a small crew during the holiday season, and helping manage day‑to‑day field operations.

Pay

$20‑$30 per hour depending on experience, reliability, skill level, and ability to lead.

Schedule

Full‑time position. Hours can vary by season and workload, but we are looking for someone who wants steady work and long‑term growth.

When install work is slower, paid work may include training, organizing inventory, cleaning and stocking the work vehicle, preparing materials, helping with repairs, and hanging door hangers in neighborhoods where we are already working.

What You’ll Do

• Install low‑voltage landscape lighting systems
• Troubleshoot and repair outdoor lighting systems
• Install seasonal and permanent holiday lighting
• Keep the work vehicle clean, stocked, and organized
• Help organize tools, materials, and inventory
• Help with local marketing when needed
• Communicate professionally with homeowners
• Learn how to lead jobs and eventually manage a small crew

What We’re Looking For

• Reliable transportation
• Strong work ethic
• Willingness to learn
• Good attention to detail
• Comfortable working outside
• Comfortable using tools, ladders, and basic equipment
• Able to lift, carry, dig, and work on your feet
• Professional attitude around customers
• Someone who wants responsibility and growth, not just a paycheck

Experience with landscaping, irrigation, electrical, low‑voltage, construction, or holiday lighting is helpful, but not required. We are willing to train the right person.

This is not a desk job. You will be working outside, learning with your hands, solving problems, and building skills that can grow into a leadership role.
