Pay: $65,000–$90,000 per year, based on experience

We specialize in commercial storefronts, curtain walls, aluminum entrances, doors, mirrors, and custom glass systems. We are looking for a hands-on leader who understands commercial glazing, communicates well with general contractors, and can keep crews organized, productive, and accountable.

This is not strictly a desk-based project management position.

• Conduct jobsite visits and verify field conditions and dimensions
• Coordinate material releases, fabrication, deliveries, equipment, and installation schedules
• Communicate professionally with general contractors, owners, suppliers, and other trades
• Monitor project labor hours, material costs, budgets, and overall profitability
• Identify scope changes and provide timely documentation for change orders
• Resolve field issues before they affect the project schedule
• Maintain project documentation, including daily reports, jobsite photographs, correspondence, and progress updates
• Manage punch-list completion, closeout documents, and warranty items
• Enforce company safety policies, OSHA requirements, PPE standards, and quality-control procedures
• Work closely with ownership, estimating, fabrication, and office personnel to keep projects moving

Qualifications

• Minimum of five years of commercial glazing experience
• At least two years of supervisory, lead-glazier, or project-management experience
• Strong knowledge of storefront, curtain-wall, aluminum entrance, door, hardware, and glass installations
• Experience with commercial aluminum systems such as YKK AP, Kawneer, Tubelite, or similar manufacturers
• Ability to read architectural plans, shop drawings, specifications, and hardware schedules
• Strong field-measurement, layout, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to manage multiple projects, crews, schedules, and priorities
• Professional communication skills when working with employees, general contractors, owners, and vendors
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to train employees and hold crews accountable
• Valid driver’s license and acceptable driving record
• Basic computer and project-management software skills
• WinBid Pro/GDS, Bluebeam, Procore, Knowify, or similar software experience is preferred

Compensation and Benefits

• Annual salary of $65,000–$90,000, based on experience
• Quarterly Bonus potential
• Company gas card
• Healthcare reimbursement or allowance
• Retirement plan with company match
