  • Technical Lighting Specialist, Contract - New York

    About the job

    Founded in 1874, Louis Poulsen (LP) is a Danish lighting manufacturer born out of the Scandinavian design tradition where form follows function. The function and design of our products are tailored to reflect and support the rhythm of natural light. Every detail in the design has a purpose. Every design starts and ends with light. We believe in passionate craftsmanship that produces quality lighting and design products that are pleasing to the eye and to the light.


    In close partnership with designers, architects and other talents like Poul Henningsen, Arne Jacobsen, Verner Panton, Oki Sato and Gabriel Tan, we have established ourselves as one of the key global suppliers of architectural and decorative lighting. Defying traditional product categories, our products serve and span the professional and private lighting markets for both indoor and outdoor applications.


    We are represented all over the world and are now looking for a Technical Lighting Specialist, to provide technical support to the Contract team and customer base at our US office. This role reports to our Head of B2B Partnerships.


    Why should you apply for this position?

    You will have a unique opportunity to be part of an iconic Danish design company and become the daily contact person for our US team and many customers regarding technical support and guidance, technical drawing creations, and any needs for product presentations.

    With a base in the New York area, you will work in the US office located in mid-town Manhattan on a hybrid schedule.

    Your Responsibilities

    Your tasks will have a wide range, but the primary focus will be supporting our customers with all technical needs.

    • Provide technical support and lighting expertise to specifiers, architects, designers, and distributors.

    • Develop and review specification drawings, installation details, and project submittals to ensure accurate application of Louis Poulsen products.

    • Respond to technical inquiries regarding product performance, dimming systems, wiring, mounting, and control compatibility.

    • Assist in the creation and maintenance of technical documentation, including spec sheets, Revit/AutoCAD files, and installation guides.

    • Collaborate with the sales and marketing teams to support product presentations and project specifications.

    • Troubleshoot product or installation issues in coordination with the factory and engineering teams.

    • Support product testing and evaluation for new or customized solutions.

    • Maintain knowledge of relevant lighting standards, codes, and control protocols (e.g., DMX, DALI, 0–10V, ELV/phase dimming).

    • Provide technical customer service by phone and email, ensuring prompt, professional, and solution-oriented responses.

    • Potential need for site visits

    About You

    • Bachelor’s degree in Lighting Design, Architectural Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field preferred.

    • 3+ years of experience in architectural lighting, technical sales, or product support.

    • Strong understanding of lighting systems, controls, and photometrics.

    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a service-oriented mindset.

    • Ability to interpret electrical and architectural drawings.

    • Detail-oriented, collaborative, and able to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

    • Passion for design, light quality, and the built environment.

    Why join us?

    We offer a challenging job in a dynamic but informal organization. An organization that emphasizes good employee conditions and relations. We ensure that you get the necessary knowledge of our company and products through introductory and training programs, where you will learn more about our lighting philosophy, as well as learn about the products and their history.
