This Job Is NOT For You If . . .

• You are okay with measurements being “close enough”. That won’t work here. Measurements need to be super accurate to a fraction of an inch so that the glass will fit the first time.
• You say things in your head like “A broken window – what’s the big deal?” To our customers, when glass breaks, it’s an emergency and safety issue. We take it as seriously as they do.
• You think working Monday mornings is optional. But our customers depend on us to show up as scheduled. Calling off work at the last minute impacts not just the customer but the whole team.

Why Join Glass Doctor Barrie?

• Competitive hourly wage
• Benefit & RRSP Package
• Supportive and safety-focused work environment
• Opportunities for skill development and advancement
• Be part of a growing team that values craftsmanship and customer satisfaction

The pay range for this position is $22.00 to $30.00, depending on your level of experience as a Glass Shop Technician. At Glass Doctor, you will be a valued part of our team and community.
