Careers at AVL Outdoor Lighting & Design

Build Beautiful Outdoor Spaces. Build Your Career.

At AVL Outdoor Lighting & Design, we believe exceptional outdoor environments start with exceptional people. We're a locally-owned, family-business based in Arden and serving Western North Carolina and the South Carolina Upstate with professionally designed outdoor lighting and outdoor audio systems that transform homes and commercial properties after dark.

Whether we're illuminating a mountain estate, enhancing a restaurant patio, installing a premium outdoor audio system, or creating unforgettable event lighting, we take pride in delivering outstanding craftsmanship and customer service.

If you're looking for a career where your work is appreciated, your skills continue to grow, and every project is different, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Work at AVL?

Work You Can Be Proud Of

Our projects create lasting impressions for homeowners, businesses, event venues, and communities throughout Western North Carolina. You'll help transform outdoor spaces into places people enjoy every evening.

Learn a Specialized Trade

Outdoor lighting and audio installation combines electrical knowledge, design, construction, technology, and customer service. We provide hands-on training and opportunities to develop valuable technical skills.

Small Team. Big Impact.

As a growing company, every employee plays an important role. Your ideas matter, your contributions are recognized, and there are opportunities to grow as the company grows.

Variety Every Day

No two days look the same. One day you might be installing landscape lighting at a luxury residence, and the next you're programming lighting controls or installing outdoor speakers at a commercial property or event venue.

Sub-Contractor Testimonial

"As a fellow small business owner, I know the difference between someone just doing a job and someone who genuinely takes pride in their craft. Adam and the AVL Lights crew absolutely fall into the second category.

I had the opportunity to work alongside them on a project, and I was seriously impressed. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and quality of work were outstanding from start to finish. The crew was friendly, hardworking, organized, and it was obvious everyone cared about doing the job right instead of just getting it done.

The finished lighting installation completely transformed the space and looked incredible. If you’re looking for a company that values craftsmanship, treats people well, and delivers a topquality finished product, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend AVL Lights.

It’s always great to see another local business setting the bar this high."
