Job description

You'll design, specify, coordinate, test, and manage the logistics of lighting fixtures for our clients. Our typical client may not need or want a major architectural lighting design firm, but still wants a thoughtful, coordinated lighting plan that goes well beyond a basic reflected ceiling plan and integrates seamlessly with the technology Osbee is known for. This role works alongside our Project Managers.

What You'll Do

• Review external fixture specifications and architectural plans to capture the electrical and physical details required to integrate lighting into the Osbee system and documentation
• Create key project documents including load schedules, linear schedules, control schedules, and specification packages
• Produce CAD documents such as reflected ceiling plans, lighting layouts, elevations, wiring plans, and wiring diagrams, combined with other Osbee disciplines such as audio and video hardware where needed
• Help expand and refine Osbee's process for delivering this growing scope of work
• Review new products and materials to stay current with the technology, and create and review mockups as projects require
• Assist with procurement by requesting quotes, reviewing samples, and managing the logistics of lighting materials Osbee provides
• Participate in project validation and closeout at commissioning
• Focus fixtures and program lighting systems on site, working alongside the Project Programmer and any external lighting design firms

What We're Looking For

• Four or more years of experience in a similar role, with high-end residential lighting design and a strong understanding of industry documentation standards and technology
• Electrical and electronics comprehension
• AutoCAD proficiency
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, primarily Excel
• Deep knowledge of Lutron, Crestron, Savant, or similar home control systems is desired but not required
• Enthusiasm for technology and the evolving complexity of integration, and an interest in pushing the boundaries of what it can do
• A design-oriented but practical approach, with the resourcefulness and curiosity to solve problems as they arise
• Degree in lighting design, architecture, interior design, or electrical engineering, or equivalent practical experience; lighting certification such as the LC is a plus
• Ability to work on ladders at heights on project sites
• A valid U.S. driver's license

Compensation & Benefits

• $80,000–$120,000/year, full-time salaried
• Health insurance, with optional dental and vision
• Life insurance and employee assistance program
• Flexible spending account
• 401(k) with up to 4% company match
