Job description

Get to Know Us:

M&M Glass has been southern Louisiana's trusted custom glass and mirror provider for over 40 years. We're known for our high-quality work, customer-first service, and solid relationships with families, designers, contractors, and builders across the region. None of it would be possible without our hands‑on team who shows up ready to work every day.

Life as a Glazier Apprentice:

Our Glazier Apprentices are hands‑on team members in training, learning the tools, techniques, and workflows needed to install high-quality custom glass products.

In this role, you'll assist experienced glaziers with the installation of showers, mirrors, tabletops, cabinet glass, and more. You'll be expected to represent M&M Glass with professionalism on every job site and remain open to learning at every stage.

You’ll help prepare trucks for the day, check materials, and support installation in the field. You may also assist with general shop tasks, cleanup, or other projects as needed. A positive, team‑focused attitude is key, along with the ability to follow instructions, communicate respectfully, and work efficiently with others.

This is a physical and fast-paced role. It is also an opportunity to learn a specialized trade from the ground up.

Compensation:

• Hourly pay is based on knowledge and experience.
• Range: Starting at $15 to $20 per hour.

A Day in the Life:

As a Glazier Apprentice, you'll support our install teams by helping prep materials, load trucks, and assist with on‑site glass installations. You'll learn the ins and outs of our products, tools, and safety procedures while gaining hands‑on experience in both the shop and the field. Your typical day might include:

Installation Support:

• Assist with installing framed and heavy glass showers, mirrors, cabinet glass, tabletops, and other custom glass products.
• Help load and unload materials at the shop and job sites.
• Clean up customer homes and worksites after each install.
• Safely lift and carry glass (up to 70 lbs.) as part of a team.

Shop and Workflow Assistance:

• Learn to cut, break, and sand glass using proper tools and safety gear.
• Assist with shop cleanup and organization.
• Pitch in where needed to keep projects moving on schedule.

Teamwork and Attitude:

• Follow direction from experienced glaziers and supervisors.
• Communicate respectfully with coworkers, contractors, and clients.
• Stay motivated and open to learning new skills every day.

Truck Prep and Maintenance:

• Check daily routes and load trucks with all required materials.
• Complete truck checklists, clean interiors daily, and wash exteriors weekly.
• Report any maintenance needs or equipment issues.

Think You'd Be a Fit?

We're looking for someone who's ready to learn, work hard, and grow with us. You don't need previous experience with glass (we'll teach you that), but you should bring:

• Must be 23 or older with a Valid Driver's License.
• Confidence using a tape measure and doing basic math, especially fractions.
• Physical ability to safely lift and carry glass (up to 70 lbs.).
• A strong work ethic and willingness to take direction.
• A positive, team‑first attitude—even when the job is physically demanding.
• Respect for safety procedures and a commitment to wearing proper gear.
• Reliability and professionalism when interacting with coworkers and customers.
• A desire to build a long‑term skill set in a hands‑on trade.

Bonus If You Have:

• High School Diploma or GED.
• 25+ years of age.
• Prior experience in construction, fabrication, or warehouse environments.
• Familiarity with tools, vehicles, or delivery routes.
• Interest in long‑term skilled trades or glass installation.

We believe in hard work, respect, and a healthy balance between work and life.

• Paid time off and holidays.
• Weekly pay.
• Great hours: Report at 6:30 AM, off most days by 4:00 PM.
• No clock-out required for lunch.
