Full-Time Lighting Installation Technician
Permanent Roofline • Landscape • Commercial Outdoor Lighting
Clarksville • Nashville • Franklin
$25–$30/hour + Performance Bonuses
Help us build Middle Tennessee's premier outdoor lighting company.
Build Something Special
Humbug Lighting is building a premium outdoor lighting company specializing in:
- Permanent Roofline Lighting
- Landscape Lighting
- Commercial Outdoor Lighting
We're not looking for someone who just wants another job.
We're looking for someone who wants to build a career, take ownership, and become a leader as our company grows.
This is a full-time, year-round position with a clear path to future leadership for the right person.
PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING
This position is physically demanding and requires working safely at heights every day.
This is not a job where you'll climb a ladder once or twice during the week.
Working on ladders and roofs is a major part of nearly every installation.
You should only apply if you have professional experience working at heights as part of your everyday job.
Examples include:
- Roofing
- Exterior construction
- Gutter installation
- Window cleaning
- Siding
- Solar installation
- Low-voltage installation
- Similar exterior trades
If you've only occasionally worked on ladders—or you're simply comfortable with heights—this probably isn't the right fit.
We are looking for someone who is calm, confident, and productive while working safely at height throughout the day.
This Is Hard Work
This is an active, outdoor skilled-trades position—not a retail, warehouse, or office job.
Every week you'll be expected to:
- Climb extension ladders dozens of times throughout the day
- Work safely on one- and two-story homes and commercial buildings
- Spend much of your workday on ladders or roofs
- Lift and carry ladders, lighting materials, and equipment
- Frequently lift and carry up to 50 pounds
- Work outdoors during Middle Tennessee summers, including heat and humidity
- Bend, kneel, squat, reach, and climb throughout the day
- Maintain focus and safe work habits even after several hours of physical work
If you enjoy working with your hands, staying active, and seeing the results of your craftsmanship every day, you'll probably love this job.
If you're looking for light-duty work, this position isn't the right fit.
