About this career
A glazier is a skilled tradesperson who works with glass. They cut, install, and repair glass in places like windows, doors, skylights, mirrors, and storefronts. Glaziers often work on construction sites, homes, and commercial buildings, carefully measuring and fitting glass so it is secure and looks right. They use special tools to cut glass and make sure it is installed safely. Glaziers also need to follow safety rules because glass can be heavy and fragile. They may work at heights on ladders or scaffolding and often work as part of a construction team. Many glaziers learn their skills through apprenticeships or trade programs after high school. This career is a good fit for people who enjoy hands-on work, problem-solving, and building things.
