What are the responsibilities and job description for the Holiday Lights Installer position at Sparkle Squad of Parker-Castle Rock-Colorado Springs?
Benefits:
Role: Holiday Lights Installer
Employer: Sparkle Squad
Location: Castle Rock
Compensation: $22-$40/hr Tips
Job Type: Seasonal Full-Time & Part-Time
Season: October 1 – December 14 January Takedowns
Make Great Money. Build Something Cool. Spread Some Christmas Cheer.
This is a short, busy season, and we’re looking for people who are ready to work.
From October through mid-December, our crews install professional Christmas light displays on homes and businesses throughout the area. You’ll spend your days outside, working with a crew, climbing ladders, walking roofs, solving problems, and turning ordinary houses into something families get excited to come home to.
It’s hard work, but it’s also a pretty fun job. You get to be part of people’s Christmas traditions and see the finished product light up at the end of the day.
Compensation
$22-$40 /hour
Our installers earn a percentage of the revenue from the jobs they complete. As you become faster, more skilled, and capable of handling more responsibility, your earning potential grows with you.
Because this is a short season, our pay floor is higher than our normal technician position. Earning around $22/hour while learning our installation system is realistic. Strong installers will have periods where they earn $30-$40/hour or more.
You also earn customer tips and $10 for every Google review you receive.
The goal is simple: work safely, build a great display, take care of the customer, and share in the value you help create.
Experience Heights
You do not need previous professional Christmas light installation experience. We’ll teach you our system.
You do need to be comfortable with ladders and roofs before your first day.
Our installation season only lasts about 10 weeks, so we don’t have several months to help someone become comfortable with heights. If you’re already comfortable carrying and climbing extension ladders and walking on residential roofs, we can teach you the rest.
Safety comes first. We use professional equipment and safety gear and train our crews on how to work at heights safely. We want everyone working hard, making good money, and going home safely at the end of the day.
Who Does Well Here
This is a great fit for someone who wants to make extra money heading into the holidays and doesn’t mind working hard to do it.
You’ll probably enjoy this job if you:
This Probably Isn’t the Right Fit If…
This probably isn’t the right job if heights make you uncomfortable, you’ve never been comfortable on a roof, you can’t carry a 40–50 lb ladder, or you don’t want a physical outdoor job.
It also won’t work if you regularly show up late. October through December moves fast, and your crew needs to be able to count on you.
A Day in the Life
We typically meet at 8:00 AM in Castle Rock and head out from there.
Most days you’ll work with a crew installing custom Christmas light displays on residential homes. You may install roofline lights, wreaths, garland, trees, ground lighting, and other parts of the display.
Some projects take a few hours. Others can take most of the day.
You’ll climb ladders, work from roofs, carry equipment, troubleshoot lights, and figure out how to make each display look clean and professional.
Some days are beautiful Colorado fall days. Some days are cold. It’s physical work, and during our busiest weeks we move quickly.
Our favorite is seeing the lights turn on and how you impacted somebody's holidays.
Requirements
If you want a seasonal job where you can work hard, make good money, spend your days outside, and help create a little Christmas magic along the way, we’d love to meet you.
- Bonus based on performance
- Company car
- Competitive salary
