Humbug Lighting | Clarksville – Nashville – Franklin
Help us build something special in Middle Tennessee

This Is Not a Seasonal Gig

Humbug Lighting completed our first full season in 2025 with tremendous success — and 2026 is about growth.

We are expanding beyond holiday lighting into a full-service permanent, landscape, and event lighting company, and we’re looking for a proven Lead Technician to grow with us.

This is a year-round leadership opportunity that begins part-time and ramps to full-time in 2026, with a clear path to Territory Operations Manager for the right person.

🚨 IMPORTANT — READ FIRST

This role REQUIRES prior professional experience working on multi-story roofs.

We are not looking for candidates who think they’re comfortable on roofs or ladders.

We are looking for candidates who have:

Worked professionally on multi-story residential or commercial roofs
Regularly used extension ladders and followed ladder safety protocols
A working understanding of roof safety, pitch, footing, and situational awareness
Remained productive and calm at height — as part of a job, not a hobby

If you do not have real, on-the-job roof experience, this role will not be a fit.

What You’ll Be Doing

As Lead Lighting Technician, you are the face of Humbug on the job site and fully accountable for install quality and customer experience.

Your typical day includes:

Pulling work orders and materials from the warehouse
Driving a company vehicle (with crew) to job sites
Leading lighting installations start-to-finish
Safely accessing and working on multi-story roofs
Interacting directly with customers and identifying upsell opportunities
Troubleshooting on-site using our core value:
FITFO – Find Intelligent and Tactical Fixes and Options
Escalating issues to the Operations Manager when appropriate

Crew size: Lead Technician + one technician

Primary Focus (2025–2026)

Permanent lighting
Landscape lighting
Holiday lighting (Q4)

Holiday season is fast-paced, physically demanding, and requires long hours — with commensurate production-based pay and bonuses.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

$22+/hour base for experienced technicians
Production-based pay (% of revenue) during install work
Performance bonuses + sales commission
Company vehicle provided
Authority to run installs and make on-site decisions
Clear advancement path to Territory Operations Manager
A chance to help shape a premium lighting brand from the ground up

This role is for someone who wants ownership, not micromanagement.

What We’re Looking For

Mandatory Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

21+ years old

High School Diploma or equivalent (GED)
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
Comfortable driving a company vehicle with crew members
Professional experience working on multi-story roofs
Proven ladder safety and roof access experience
Strong communication skills and professionalism with customers

Preferred (Nice to Have)

Low-voltage lighting experience
Construction, roofing, or exterior trade background
Prior crew leadership
Lift experience or certification (not required, but a strong plus)

Our Standards & Culture

We are a high-end lighting installation company, and our work reflects that.

Our core values:

We Own the Outcome
Raising the Bar on Customer Service in Middle Tennessee
FIFTFO – Find Intelligent and Tactical Fixes and Options

We expect:

Attention to detail
Safe, professional job sites
Confident, customer-facing leadership
Pride in craftsmanship
