As we continue to grow locally and across our franchise system, we are seeking a Field Operations Lighting Manager who enjoys working outdoors, leading installation crews, and supporting franchise owners through hands-on field training and installation guidance.

    This role combines field installation leadership with franchise training support, so we’re looking for someone who enjoys working alongside crews while also helping others learn and improve their installation skills.

    Serve as a technical resource to help franchise owners troubleshoot installation challenges

    Provide occasional on-site or virtual installation support to franchise locations

    Travel periodically to assist franchise owners with field installs and installation training support

    Troubleshoot installation challenges and resolve field issues efficiently

    Ensure crews arrive prepared with materials, tools, and equipment

    Coordinate with the Office Manager to confirm job readiness and scheduling priorities

    Support roofline holiday lighting installations when needed

    Lead landscape lighting and holiday lighting installation crews (typically 2–3 installers)

    Work alongside crews in the field and assist with installations when needed

    Leadership Responsibilities: This role serves as a field leader, supporting both local operations and the success of franchise installations. You will:

    Lead small installation crews on job sites

    Support newer installers and reinforce installation standards

    Help ensure projects stay organized and on schedule

    Communicate job readiness and progress with the office team

    Support franchise owners with installation techniques and troubleshooting when needed

    Represent Wonderly Lights installation quality standards in the field

    Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to demonstrate installation techniques clearly and confidently

    Comfortable supporting franchise owners and technicians through hands-on field training

    Valid driver’s license
