About The Position

Holiday Sparkle Lighting is seeking a dependable, safety-minded, part-time installer to install permanent outdoor lighting and seasonal holiday lighting on residential and commercial properties throughout Eastern Iowa, including the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area. Hours vary throughout the year based on project schedules, weather, and customer demand.
