This role will oversee lighting specifications, quoting, and project prep while actively driving lighting fixture sales and supporting advanced lighting control strategies, including human-centric lighting concepts. Initially, this position is hands-on and cross-functional—combining design support, sales enablement, project management, and installation coordination—with a clear path toward building and managing a larger lighting team as the business grows.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare lighting quotes and specifications to support increased lighting fixture sales
• Identify opportunities to "hunt" and expand fixture sales, even on projects without full lighting design scope
• Act as a lighting expert during sales conversations, providing technical guidance and value-engineering support
• Help position lighting as a strategic component of broader systems and project solutions

• Oversee lighting control systems across projects, with a focus on the Nashville market
• Manage control-related elements such as engraving, lighting scenes, zone layouts, and system documentation
• Support and promote human-centric lighting strategies, including circadian lighting concepts, scene tuning, and user experience optimization
• Partner with programming teams while owning the overall control intent and execution quality

• Coordinate lighting-related activities across design, procurement, installation, and commissioning
• Support or oversee on-site installation, aiming for consistent quality and adherence to specs
• Troubleshoot field issues related to fixtures, controls, and system performance
• Ensure smooth handoff from sales to installation and closeout

• Serve as the central owner of lighting within the organization
• Help define processes, standards, and best practices for lighting design, sales, and controls
• Contribute to the long-term vision of growing the lighting department, including mentoring and managing future lighting team members

Qualifications

• Experience in architectural, residential, or commercial lighting (design, sales, controls, or integration, with Crestron, Lutron, or Control 4 Experience)
• Strong understanding of lighting fixtures, specifications, and control systems
• Familiarity with lighting control platforms and scene-based programming concepts
• Ability to balance technical detail, sales support, and project execution
• Strong organizational and communication skills
• Customer Service Skills to train end users
• Comfortable wearing multiple hats in a growing environment

What Success Looks Like

• Smooth, consistent execution of lighting and lighting control across projects
• Increased lighting fixture sales through better specs, quotes, and technical support
• Strong internal and external confidence in our lighting expertise
• A scalable lighting operation that can expand into a dedicated team over time
