• Review submittals, shop drawings, fabrication instructions, and installation documentation for accuracy and compliance.
• Coordinate materials delivery and confirm all permits and licenses are in place and current.
• Monitor financial health of projects, including weekly cost tracking, monthly billing, and change order requests.
• Request change orders to General Contractors and/or Architects as required.
• Conduct first unit quality checks with General Contractor representatives and perform ongoing quality assurance visits.
• Submit all Safety Inspections, First Unit Quality Check, and Quality Assurance Checks to Lean Leadership Team for review.
• Maintain clear, proactive communication with General Contractor project managers and internal teams.
• Lead continuous improvement efforts, promptly addressing any corrective actions identified in the field.
• Attend project meetings as required by General Contractors.
• Other duties as assigned.

What We're Looking For

• 1-2 years' experience managing glazing projects or 4+ years as a Lead Glazier or Glazing Superintendent.
• Hands‑on knowledge of commercial glass and glazing systems, installation processes, and industry standards.
• OSHA certification and commitment to maintaining a safe working environment.
• Comfortability working both in the field and the office, adaptable to varied weather and noise conditions.
• Ability to work a 45‑50 hour week and travel as project needs require.
• Strong organizational skills with a natural attention to detail and problem‑solving mindset.
• Ability to stand for extended periods of time, lift heavy objects on a regular basis, do repetitive tasks and work at varied heights.

We believe that great projects are built by great teams. You'll work alongside supportive and experienced professionals in a positive culture where teamwork, meaningful work, and shared success are valued every day. Our culture prizes transparency, safety, and continuous learning – because when you succeed, we all succeed. Additionally, you'll gain exposure to a variety of challenging projects, allowing you to deepen your expertise in commercial glazing management.
