Pure Magic Holiday Lighting is a premium holiday lighting company known for creating show-stopping displays with commercial-grade materials, custom-fit installations, and a professional touch from start to finish.

Job Overview
As a Holiday Light Installer, you’ll work with a team to install and remove professional-grade lighting and décor on residential and commercial properties. You’ll be climbing ladders, working on rooftops, handling electrical connections, and ensuring each job looks flawless.

- Troubleshoot and replace bulbs, wiring, and clips when needed.
- Maintain a clean and organized work area, including company vehicles and tools.
- Communicate effectively with team members and supervisors.
- Provide friendly, respectful customer interactions while on-site.
Qualifications
Required:
- Comfortable working at heights on ladders and roofs.
- Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work outdoors in various weather conditions.
- Reliable transportation to the Burr Ridge area each workday.
- Strong work ethic, attention to detail, and ability to follow instructions.
- Team-oriented with a positive attitude.
Preferred:
- Roofing, gutter, tree-trimming, or exterior construction experience.
- Basic electrical knowledge (wiring, plugs, timers).
- Experience in landscaping, general labor, or seasonal event setups.
Work Schedule
- Season: Mid-September through January.
- Full-time and part-time roles available.
- Overtime opportunities during peak season.
- Schedule may include early mornings, evenings, and weekends as needed.
Compensation & Perks
- $25–$35/hour (based on experience, performance, and availability).
- Bonus opportunities for top performers.
- Paid training on our installation methods and safety procedures.
- Fun, high-energy work environment—holiday music included.
