The primary purpose of a lighthouse keeper is to maintain the light in the lighthouse, to ensure that ships are warned of dangerous rocks and reefs.
They also need to maintain the structure itself that actually holds the lantern. They need to check for wear and tear, paint the tower, and possibly communicate to ships. Many of these tasks are eliminated with modern, automated lighthouses, although maintenance of the building itself is still necessary.
