We are looking for an experienced Lighting Controls Technician with a strong background in commercial lighting installation, retrofit work, and controls. This is not a general electrician role. The right candidate understands lighting systems from rough‑in through commissioning, brings a high level of professionalism on customer job sites, and is comfortable working with controls platforms in occupied commercial environments.

Key Responsibilities

Install lighting fixtures, lamps, ballasts, controls, and all associated components safely and neatly in customer facilities

Program and configure lighting controls systems including occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, photocells, scene control, time scheduling, and dimmer racks

Work with controls platforms such as Lutron, Leviton, Acuity nLight, Enlighted, Hubbell, Douglas Lighting Controls, or similar

Interface with DALI, 0‑10V dimming, DMX, BACnet, or Modbus‑based systems

Work from ladders, scaffolds, or rooftops to install, maintain, and repair electrical wiring, equipment, and fixtures

Execute lighting retrofit strategies across commercial, institutional, healthcare, education, and government environments

Read and interpret lighting control drawings, riser diagrams, and panel schedules

Comply with all FSG safety policies, government and local regulations, and job site safety guidelines

Work in a manner that protects and respects customer facilities at all times

Maintain strong verbal and written communication with project managers, on‑site supervision, and customers

Required Qualifications

High school diploma or GED required

3‑5 years of hands‑on lighting and electrical experience

Demonstrated experience with lighting controls systems, not just fixture installation

Retrofit experience preferred

Ability to perform physically demanding tasks and operate specialized tools and equipment throughout the work order process

Comfortable reading blueprints and controls documentation

Strong customer service skills and professional demeanor on customer job sites

Willingness to travel

Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation

Preferred Qualifications

Lutron certification or equivalent controls manufacturer training

Experience with DALI, BACnet, or Modbus integration

Familiarity with building automation system tie‑ins

OSHA 10 or OSHA 30

Benefits and Compensation

Pay commensurate with experience, $25/hr – $35/hr

Consistent commercial project pipeline

Weekly pay

Medical benefits on day 1

Why Work With Us
This is a role for someone who actually knows lighting and lighting controls, not someone learning on the job. You will be placed on commercial projects where your technical knowledge is put to real use, supported by a team that respects the skill set it takes to do this work correctly.
