About Us:
Delights of Christmas is now San Diego SociaLights. We create lighting experiences people remember - from incredible holiday displays to weddings, corporate events, and special occasions throughout San Diego.
We’re a family-owned lighting and event company with a close-knit team that takes pride in the details, works together, and has fun creating something our clients love. We’re passionate about delivering high-quality work while building a workplace where employees can learn new skills, grow, and feel like a valued part of the team.
Job Overview:
We're looking for one dependable person to join our crew starting August 1. This is a full-time seasonal position that runs through February, with the opportunity to stay on year-round if it's a good fit for both of us.
Unlike most holiday lighting jobs, you'll start before the busy Christmas season. During August through October, you'll help with event setups and takedowns, warehouse organization, loading trucks, prepping equipment, and whatever else needs to get done. Once the holiday season kicks off, you'll transition into installing Christmas lights and decor on homes and commercial properties. After the holidays, you'll help with lighting removals and continue supporting our event crew through February.
No two days are exactly the same, and that's one of the things our team enjoys most!
We're a family-owned business that believes in treating employees well, working hard, and having fun while we do it! We work together, help each other out, and take pride in creating some pretty awesome events and holiday displays around San Diego.
What You'll Be Doing:
Helping set up and tear down events
Loading and unloading trucks
Organizing, cleaning, and maintaining the warehouse
Labeling and preparing equipment for upcoming jobs
Installing holiday lights and decor on residential and commercial properties
Working on ladders and rooftops while following safe work practices
Lifting, carrying, and moving equipment throughout the day
Working as part of a crew to get jobs done efficiently
What We Offer:
Starting pay of $21 - $23/hour DOE
Full-time hours (around 40 hours each week)
Overtime available during our busiest times
OSHA certification provided during training (paid for by us)
Opportunity to learn both the event and holiday lighting industries
A fun, hardworking team that genuinely enjoys working together
End-of-season team party after the holiday takedowns
Opportunity for a permanent position after the season
Schedule:
This position starts August 1 and runs through February.
You'll typically work around 40 hours per week over 5 days, but no two weeks look exactly the same. Our schedule depends on event dates and installation projects, so flexibility is important.
Some days may start early, while others won't begin until the afternoon. Event days often require returning later in the evening to help with breakdown after the event ends. Weekend work is common during our busy season, so your days off may vary from week to week.
If you're someone who likes variety and doesn't mind a schedule that changes with the work, you'll fit in well with our team!
What We're Looking For:
Speaks fluent English
Valid driver's license
Authorized to work in the U.S.
Comfortable working on ladders and at heights
Able to lift and carry equipment throughout the day
Reliable transportation to work.
Access to a smartphone capable of running our timekeeping and scheduling apps.
Flexible availability, including some evenings and weekends
Reliable, hardworking, and willing to jump in wherever needed
Positive attitude and good teamwork
If you're looking for a job where you'll stay busy, learn new skills, and be part of a team that enjoys what they do, we'd love to hear from you.
Job Type: Temporary (August–February) with the opportunity for permanent employment.
