Technical Specialist-Emergency Lighting

Why This Role Exists

This isn’t a traditional sales support position—and it’s not a pure engineering role either. This role sits at the intersection of: Electrical systems, Life safety compliance, Real-world application. You will take electrical designs, specifications, and intent—and turn them into code-compliant, buildable, real-world solutions that perform when it matters most. If you like solving problems that actually get installed in buildings—and matter in emergency situations—you’ll feel right at home here.
