Job description
Foothills Exterior Cleaning Services – Simpsonville / Fountain Inn, SC
Tired of boring jobs and even more boring coworkers?
Good. Because we’re not your average company… and this isn’t your average seasonal role.
Foothills Exterior Cleaning Services is looking for a rockstar Seasonal Christmas Light Technician to join our high-vibe, high-quality, high-up-on-ladders team. We make homes shine—and we create a workplace people actually like showing up to. (Wild concept, right?)
What You’ll Be Doing (AKA Your Holiday Superpowers)
- Installing custom holiday lighting on rooflines, peaks, dormers, and trees (clean, symmetrical, clip-perfect installs)
- Setting timers/controllers and testing every run so it looks flawless at dusk
- Installing greenery and other decor
- Performing in-season maintenance (quick fixes, swaps, and service calls with a smile)
- Safe ladder and rooftop work using harnesses, pitch hoppers, ridge anchors, and shingle-safe footwear
- Takedown & labeling in January, organizing inventory for easy reuse next year
- Delivering 5-star service from the first knock to the final walkthrough
What We’re Looking For
- Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
- Clean background check (we check…. we’re pros, after all)
- Comfortable working at heights (real rooftops, real ladders)
- Able to lift and carry up to 50 lbs (spools, ladders, totes)
- Reliable, upbeat, team-first attitude with sharp attention to detail
- Bonus points: experience working at heights/on roofs, basic electrical know-how (GFCI, power loads), knot-tying/zip-tie artistry, previous holiday lighting experience
Safety Is Non-Negotiable
- Proper ladder handling, two-person lifts for larger ladders
- Harnesses/anchors when required; shingle-safe footwear on roofs
- Never on wet metal roofs; follow all site safety protocols
- We train you on our gear and methods, then we expect you to use them
Perks That Pack a Punch
- Competitive seasonal pay: $20.00 – $25.00/hour (Daily Rev. Rate)
- Tips from happy clients
- Paid training & on-the-job coaching
- Full schedule with plenty of hours during peak season
- Opportunities for advancement (seasonal → recurring role on our team)
- A company culture where you’re not just an employee, you’re family
Season & Schedule
- Mid-October – Mid-December (installs), plus first 2–3 weeks of January (takedowns)
- Expect 40–70 hours/week in peak weeks; there will be multiple Saturdays/Sundays and occasional dusk checks
Our Vibe
We don’t just hang lights, we create moments. If you love making things look amazing, work well on a team, and take pride in doing it safely and professionally, we’d love to meet you.
Apply today and help us make the Foothills sparkle…. one roofline at a time.
Let’s get to work. The good kind.
