About The Position

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. 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 each 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. 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: Like being outside and staying active, Are already comfortable with ladders, roofs, and heights, Enjoy working with a crew, Like building things and seeing a finished product, Can take coaching and learn quickly, Are competitive and like working efficiently, Can solve problems without needing someone to tell you every next step, Show up when you say you will. You’ll be working on customers’ homes during an important time of year. We want installers who can have fun with the crew while still taking pride in the details. 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. 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. This is a seasonal position, but it doesn’t have to end there. Installers who perform well and are looking for year-round work have the opportunity to stay with Sparkle Squad as a full-time Window Cleaning Technician after the holiday season. 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.
