Technical Project Coordinator, LED Data Center, (Hybrid) in San Francisco HQ

We’re a San Francisco lighting design + manufacturing company built for environments that can’t go dark. We specialize in data center and mission-critical lighting — over 35 million square feet illuminated across the U.S. — and we’re the first lighting manufacturer certified by the International Data Center Authority (IDCA). We design in-house, partner tightly with manufacturing, and ship solutions that actually survive hot aisles, long runtimes, and real uptime pressure.

We’re growing fast and looking for a sharp, detail-obsessed Technical Project Coordinator who wants to learn the technical side of lighting while keeping projects moving. This role reports directly to the Director of Program Management & Implementations and sits primarily at our SF headquarters (hybrid).

What You’ll Actually Do

Keep internal project workflows, task tracking, and documentation clean and current for the Director and the broader team
Run AGi32 lighting calculations to support design intent and internal reviews
Own structured digital project folders — naming conventions, version control, no chaos
Track milestones, deliverables, and deadlines so nothing slips
Review architectural and electrical drawings to help the team make faster, better decisions
Use Revit and Bluebeam for markups, model checks, and fixture coordination
Prepare submittals (cut sheets, IES files, technical packages)
Dig into manufacturer data and industry resources when we need answers
Support basic electrical specification checks and code-related considerations
Maintain trackers, spreadsheets, and templates in the Microsoft suite
Partner with Engineering, Operations, and Customer Service to knock out technical or logistical blockers
Spot process friction and help tighten it

This is mostly internal-facing right now. As we scale, the role can expand into more client-facing work and greater ownership.

Who Thrives Here

Basic familiarity with lighting, electrical, AEC, or manufacturing environments
Comfortable reading architectural drawings, electrical plans, and project deliverables
Working knowledge (or fast ability to get up to speed) with Revit, AGi32, Bluebeam, and Microsoft Office
Understanding of basic electrical specs and code principles
Experience (or strong interest) with lighting specifications, controls layouts, photometric files, and submittals
Natural organizer who actually likes structure and accuracy
Clear, professional, respectful communicator
High learning speed + “no job is too small” attitude
Detail-oriented with strong follow-through
Able to work independently and keep productivity consistent

Nice-to-haves that make you stand out

Prior support of program/order management or technical operations
ERP/CRM exposure
Deeper lighting knowledge (CCT, CRI, optics, drivers, controls)
AEC workflow or manufacturing process experience
Process improvement or light automation wins
Curiosity about how AI can speed up documentation, calculations, or workflows
Basic scripting or data skills (Power BI, Python, VBA, etc.)

How We Work

We value respectful communication, reliability, and accountability. We share clear updates, ask clarifying questions, and listen. We approach drawings, calculations, and documentation with care. We handle information accurately and keep what’s confidential confidential. We try to stay ahead of problems instead of reacting to them.

What Success Looks Like

Reliable AGi32 calcs and clean documentation
Organized, current project folders with consistent structure
You flag workflow improvements or time-savers
You’re ready with materials before anyone has to ask
You pick up new tools and concepts quickly
You take feedback and stay curious about AEC + manufacturing
Professional, respectful communication with every internal stakeholder
Positive attitude and real willingness to support the team
Tasks completed on time with minimal hand-holding
Timely updates that keep the Director aligned

About You

You bring a positive, solution-oriented approach. You believe no job is too small when it helps the team. You know clarity beats guessing. You’re organized, detail-driven, and comfortable in a fast-moving environment. You like learning technical things. You take pride in accuracy and efficiency. You collaborate well and add the right amount of light humor to the day.

Benefits

85 to 90k salary
Generous healthcare (100% employee / 90% family coverage)
401(k)
Unlimited PTO
Genuinely good culture — hard-working people who actually enjoy the work
