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
