Job description

At SPARK Creative Group, we foster innovation, teamwork, and technical excellence to be able to provide our clients with products, services and experiences that exceed not only their expectations, but the limits of their imagination. Our work combines a sense of curiosity for potential, legitimate and thorough technical expertise, and excellent customer service. At SPARK, we work daily to ensure that our employees are set up for success to enjoy our company space and environment, feel safe and integrated into our workplace and industry, and have the space and ability to apply themselves in a challenging and industrious field.

SPARK Creative Group is an equal opportunity employer in a fast paced and booming industry. SCG includes three branches - Special Event Production & Equipment Rentals, Lightscapes Landscape Lighting & Sound Installation, and Audio Visual Integration systems. Our office is located in Santa Barbara and we work throughout the county via events, lighting and A/V installations year round. SCG started in 2006 when our founder and president used his background as a technical theater expert as inspiration to put his business degree to good use. He recognized the need to blend technical savvy with an eye for design and detail in the growing event design industry. The company has grown to include a full calendar of hundreds of events annually including corporate events, fundraisers, weddings, and more. In 2020, Lightscapes by SPARK was born out of necessity and need - we are the only true lighting design experts in the landscape lighting sector in Santa Barbara, and work both at homes and estates as well as commercial spaces to ensure safety, beauty and ambiance with the best materials on the market. Additionally, SPARK acquired Jensen Audio Visual in 2022 to fill out our repertoire to include audiovisual integration systems, seamlessly equipping corporate and government buildings with the most up to date technology.
