POSTED ON 1/5/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/3/2026
The Lighting/Rigging Engineer is an individual who is detail-driven and thrives on making complex systems work seamlessly in the real world. This isn't a conceptual design role; it's about validating, refining, and documenting the systems our design team creates, ensuring that every hoist, fixture, and control device performs exactly as it should once it hits the field.

Responsibilities

  • Review and validate system designs to ensure technical accuracy and real-world functionality.
  • Identify potential design issues and recommend product substitutions or configuration improvements.
  • Oversee and maintain all technical documentation-schematics, wiring diagrams, rack elevations, and network layouts.
  • Collaborate with designers, project managers, and field teams to ensure clarity from concept to completion.
  • Provide engineering support during installation and commissioning to troubleshoot and fine-tune systems.
  • Ensure documentation is accurate, consistent, and field-ready to support smooth installation and integration.

Qualifications

  • 3 years of experience in lighting/rigging system engineering, documentation, or commissioning.
  • Strong technical understanding of lighting and rigging systems.
  • Comprehensive knowledge in lighting/rigging system design and integration.
  • Familiarity with AutoCAD, Revit, or Vectorworks software for the creation of lighting/rigging system drawings.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects concurrently and meet deadlines.
  • Certifications such as ETCP or LC (Lighting Certified) would be an added advantage.
  • A sharp eye for detail, excellent organizational skills, and the ability to collaborate across teams.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package, including a benefits plan.
  • 50% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 15 days of paid time off (starting)
  • 9 paid holidays
  • 401(k) eligibility after 6 months of employment with a company match
  • Career growth opportunities
  • Opportunities for career advancement through ongoing training and professional development.
  • Collaborative and inclusive company culture.

The Lighting/Rigging Engineer role is best suited for a candidate who thrives in a fast-paced, technologically driven environment and who is eager to make a significant contribution in an industry-leading organization.
