CTL Companies is a 40-year-established Colorado-based company working at the intersection of design, lighting, technology, and electrical craftsmanship
. We serve luxury residential clients across the Front Range—from Monument, throughout the Denver Metro, to Fort Collins, Boulder, and the foothills—as well as mountain communities including Summit County and Grand County.

While CTL has long been trusted for architectural lighting, electrical, and integrated systems, we are intentionally expanding our decorative lighting and shading practice
—including the development of a new boutique lighting and shading studio in the Castle Rock area
.

This role is a rare opportunity to help shape both a design-focused discipline and a physical showroom experience within a stable, respected company at a high level.

We are seeking a Lighting & Shading Design Specialist with a refined aesthetic, strong client presence, and deep knowledge of decorative fixtures and window coverings. This role is ideal for a designer who wants to be more than a specifier—someone who wants to influence design direction, client experience, and the evolution of a boutique lighting studio
.

You will play a key role in helping define how decorative lighting and shading are presented, sold, and experienced—both in clients’ homes and within CTL’s upcoming Castle Rock location
.

You will work directly with homeowners, interior designers, architects, and builders, guiding lighting and shading decisions that elevate the architecture and interiors while remaining technically sound and buildable.

This is a fully in-person, design-forward role based in Littleton, Colorado, with significant involvement in the Castle Rock location initiative
.

• Lead decorative lighting and shading design consultations for luxury residential projects
• Collaborate with interior designers and architects to align fixture and shade selections with overall design intent
• Translate aesthetic vision into complete specifications, schedules, and budgets
• Own full design, specification, and sales responsibility for decorative lighting and window coverings
• Guide clients confidently through style, scale, finish, and placement decisions
• Help shape, curate, and activate CTL’s new boutique lighting and shading studio in the Castle Rock area
• Contribute to the curation and evolution of a boutique lighting and shading studio experience
• Actively participate in business development and outreach, building relationships with interior designers, architects, builders, and potential clients
• Represent CTL as a lighting and shading design resource within the local design community
• Develop long-term referral relationships through trust, design credibility, and responsiveness
• Participate in networking events, showroom meetings, and design-industry touchpoints as appropriate
• Coordinate closely with CTL’s architectural lighting, electrical, and systems teams to ensure seamless execution
• Build, maintain, and foster strong relationships with decorative lighting and shading manufacturer representatives
• Serve as a primary point of contact between CTL and key vendor partners
• Collaborate with reps on product education, line reviews, pricing strategies, and showroom support
• Help evaluate, onboard, and evolve vendor lines to align with CTL’s luxury, design-forward vision

• 3-5+ years of experience in decorative lighting design and client consulting (senior designers and seasoned veterans strongly encouraged)
• A strong design eye with an understanding of luxury residential environments
• Proven experience specifying decorative fixtures and window coverings / shading systems a plus
• Comfortable working directly with discerning, high-net-worth clients
• Confident presenting ideas, guiding decisions, and owning the design narrative
• Organized, detail-oriented, and fluent in translating design…
