Job Overview:
Lights Over Atlanta is seeking a licensed High/Low Voltage Electrician to join our team as we expand our commercial lighting offerings across Metro Atlanta.

As we continue to grow our commercial division, you will play a key role in setting the electrical standard for our work while helping train future electricians and technicians on our team.
This is not a new-construction wire-pulling position. This is hands-on electrical work in finished commercial spaces, outdoor environments, and architectural settings where clean, professional craftsmanship matters.
Pay: $55,000 – $75,000 per year based on experience, licensing, and commercial electrical knowledge.

Active Georgia Electrical License or Certification
Strong knowledge of both low voltage (12V/24V) and line voltage (120V/277V) systems
Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record (no DUIs, no super speeder tickets, and less than three violations in the past 3 years)
Pass background check
Reliable transportation to and from our Kennesaw office
Skills and Experience:
Experience performing LED retrofits and lighting upgrades in commercial buildings
Ability to read lighting plans, wiring diagrams, and troubleshoot existing systems
Experience with conduit, junction boxes, and code-compliant wiring methods
Knowledge of drivers, transformers, sensors, and lighting controls
Comfortable working on lifts, ladders, and in finished spaces
Comfortable working outdoors on landscape lighting installations when needed
Experience leading jobs or small crews
Hand and power tool proficiency
Physically capable of climbing, lifting, and working with extension ladders
Bilingual English/Spanish is a huge plus
Soft Skills:
Professional communication with customers, property managers, and general contractors
Strong problem-solving mindset
High attention to detail and respect for customer property
Leadership mentality with pride in craftsmanship
Punctual, reliable, and self-motivated
Responsibilities:
Perform and oversee commercial lighting retrofits and upgrades
Troubleshoot, repair, and maintain existing lighting systems
Install new indoor and outdoor lighting systems per plan
Run and terminate both low voltage and line voltage wiring
Install conduit, junction boxes, drivers, transformers, and controls to code
Core/drill into hardscape and trench for fixture placement when needed
Help train and mentor future electricians and technicians on proper electrical practices
Ensure all work meets safety and electrical standards
Maintain and care for company vehicles and tools
Schedule: Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Training: We will train you on our specific lighting installation methods and systems. You bring the electrical expertise, we’ll show you how we apply it in the lighting world.
Why This Role is Different: Most electricians work on repetitive construction projects. This role combines professional electrical work with creative, high-end commercial and outdoor lighting projects that people see and appreciate every night.
You’ll be helping build and shape a growing division within one of Atlanta’s fastest-growing specialty lighting companies.
If you are a licensed electrician looking for a role that uses your trade in a unique and rewarding way, we’d love to hear from you.
