This role is field‑based and hands‑on. The ideal candidate is technically strong, safety‑focused, and understands that doing the job right the first time matters.

Electrical & Lighting Service

• Troubleshoot and repair electrical and lighting systems in commercial and government environments.
• Diagnose and repair LED lighting systems, including drivers, fixtures, photocells, controls, wiring, and power supply issues.
• Perform lighting repairs, upgrades, and component replacements efficiently and correctly.
• Install new wiring, fixtures, and electrical components as required.
• Identify upstream electrical issues and communicate findings clearly to supervisors or customers.
• Verify proper operation of all repairs before leaving the job site.

Bucket Truck & Aerial Lift Operations

• Safely operate bucket trucks and aerial lifts in parking lots, roadways, and active facilities.
• Perform daily pre‑trip and jobsite inspections of vehicles, lifts, and safety equipment.
• Set up proper traffic control, cones, and work zones as required.
• Work productively at height and in varying weather conditions.

Customer & Site Responsibilities

• Communicate professionally with customers before, during, and after service calls.

• Accurately document work performed, materials used, and outstanding issues.
• Maintain clean, safe, and orderly job sites.

• Comfortable being trusted to run service calls without babysitting.
• Understands that good service is a mix of technical skill, speed, and professionalism.
• Takes pride in fixing things correctly the first time and hates callbacks as much as knows the difference between being busy and being productive.

Technical Strengths

• Strong electrical troubleshooting skills in commercial environments.
• Deep hands‑on experience with LED lighting systems, including driver and fixture failures, photocells and lighting controls, voltage and power supply issues, wiring faults and connection problems.
• Can quickly determine whether a repair, component replacement, or full fixture replacement is the correct solution.
• Reads wiring diagrams and understands circuits instead of guessing.
• Comfortable working on energized systems when required, following proper safety procedures.

Bucket Truck & Field Capability

• Experienced operating bucket trucks and aerial lifts safely and efficiently.
• Understands proper setup, positioning, and traffic control without cutting corners.
• Comfortable working at height, outdoors, and in less‑than‑perfect weather.
