Custom Integration Technician – Crestron Home & Lutron HomeWorks | Carry the Light (Denver Metro)
You know the difference between a system that works and one that’s right.
Carry the Light has designed and installed technology and electrical systems in commercial projects and some of Colorado’s finest homes since 1986. That includes mountain retreats, modern builds and classic estates. We handle lighting control, whole-home audio and video, motorized shading, networking, security and backup power, and we’re a licensed electrical contractor too. That means we control the whole job from rough-in through programming and handoff.
We’re looking for an experienced technician who knows Crestron Home and Lutron HomeWorks inside and out, and who takes pride in clean racks, labeled wire and a client who never has to call us back.
What you’ll do
- Install, commission and troubleshoot Crestron Home systems in luxury residences
- Install and commission Lutron HomeWorks lighting control and shading: panels, keypads, fixtures and motorized shades
- Build and dress equipment racks that you’d be proud to photograph
- Set up and troubleshoot UniFi networks and get distributed audio and video running reliably
- Work directly with homeowners, builders, designers and architects, and represent CTL in their homes
- Handle service calls and help keep long-term clients happy for years
What you bring (required)
- 3+ years of hands-on custom integration experience in high-end residential
- Proven field experience with Crestron Home: installing, configuring and troubleshooting it
- Proven field experience with Lutron HomeWorks: panel installs, device addressing, commissioning and shade integration
- Strong low-voltage fundamentals: termination, wire management, signal flow and basic networking
- The judgment and polish to work in a client’s home without supervision
- A valid driver’s license and a clean driving record
Nice to have
- Crestron or Lutron certifications
- Experience with Control4, Savant, Josh.ai, and Vantage Controls
- Experience with Sonos, UniFi, Hunter Douglas, and Alarm.com
Why CTL
- Work you’ll be proud of. These are projects with budgets, so you won’t be cutting corners to hit a price.
- Variety. Since we cover a wide range of manufactures and project types, there's always something new.
- Stability. We’ve been in business almost 40 years, with a deep client base and steady project flow.
- The whole picture. Because we do the electrical, the design and the integration, you’ll see how everything fits together.
- Room to grow. You can pursue programming, lead tech, project management or a specialty area like lighting design or immersive audio.
About Us
We have been providing electrical and other services since 1986 when Steve Sullivan founded Carry the Light Electric. As our offerings expanded so did our name. With the addition of new team specialist, we created a separate division to focus on audio, video, lighting, automation, and shading called CTL-AVL (Carry the Light Audio Video Lighting). The response from clients, contractors, and other trade partners loved the idea of a single contactor to handle all their wiring needs. To help reduce the confusion with the different names, we now primarily operate under the name CTL Companies.
