Glazier

A glazier cuts, fits, and installs glass in windows, doors, storefronts, skylights, and architectural features. They measure openings, cut and handle glass safely, set panes in frames, install glazing and seals, and fit everything from residential windows to large commercial curtain walls, working to make installations weathertight and secure.

The work is physical and precise, involving heavy, fragile material that must be handled and positioned carefully, sometimes at height. Glaziers work for glass and construction contractors on homes and commercial buildings.

The job suits careful, steady-handed people who enjoy skilled work with an exacting material and the clean, transparent result of a well-set pane.
