  • Maintain strong verbal and written communication with project managers, on-site supervision, and customers

  • Comfortable reading blueprints and controls documentation
  • Strong customer service skills and professional demeanor on customer job sites
  • Willingness to travel

  • Experience with DALI, BACnet, or Modbus integration
  • Familiarity with building automation system tie-ins
  • OSHA 10 or OSHA 30

Benefits and Compensation

  • Pay commensurate with experience, $25/hr - $35/hr
  • Consistent commercial project pipeline
  • Weekly pay.
  • Medical benefits on day 1.

Why Work With Us

This is a role for someone who actually knows lighting and lighting controls, not someone learning on the job. You will be placed on commercial projects where your technical knowledge is put to real use, supported by a team that respects the skill set it takes to do this work correctly.
