Looking for a physical job where you can actually learn a trade?

Glass Doctor of Edmonton is looking for a reliable, hard-working person to join our team.

No glass experience is required. We will train the right person.

We’re looking for someone who is used to working with their hands and isn’t afraid of physical work. If you have experience in construction, roofing, siding, landscaping, automotive, carpentry, warehousing, restoration, or another hands-on trade, we’d like to hear from you.

You’ll start by helping in our shop and assisting our experienced technicians. As you learn, we’ll train you in automotive glass, flat glass fabrication, and residential/commercial glass installation, with the opportunity to develop into a full Glass Technician.

What You’ll Start Out Doing

• Helping keep the glass shop organized and moving efficiently

• Assisting technicians with fabrication and installations
• Measuring, cutting, cleaning, and handling glass
• Preparing materials and jobs for our field technicians
• Helping fabricate insulated glass units
• Maintaining tools, equipment, vehicles, and work areas
• General shop and labour duties wherever an extra set of hands is needed

What We’ll Train You To Do

• Install windshields and automotive door glass
• Measure and cut flat glass
• Fabricate insulated glass units
• Install windows, mirrors, glass, and commercial/residential door hardware
• Complete residential and commercial glass replacements
• Work safely from ladders, scaffolding, and lifts
• Diagnose basic glass and hardware issues
• Work independently on service and installation jobs as your skills develop

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who shows up, works hard, and wants to learn
• Comfortable doing physical work throughout the day
• Able to lift and safely handle heavy and awkward materials
• Comfortable working outdoors in different weather conditions
• Comfortable working on ladders and lifts and not afraid of heights
• Able to accurately use a tape measure and basic hand tools
• Valid driver’s licence
• Reliable transportation to work
• Comfortable using tablets and basic technology
• Able to communicate professionally with customers and coworkers
• Construction, automotive, carpentry, roofing, siding, landscaping, restoration, or other hands-on experience is an asset, but not required

This Job May Be a Good Fit If You…

You’re tired of seasonal labour jobs and want something you can turn into a career. You like working with your hands, would rather be moving than sitting at a desk, and take some pride in being the person who can figure things out and get the job done.

We don’t expect you to already know the glass trade. We can teach glass. What we need from you is reliability, effort, a good attitude, and a willingness to learn.

Glass Doctor of Edmonton is a locally owned and operated company with an established team and a growing workload. For the right person, there is plenty of opportunity to learn new skills, take on more responsibility, and grow into a skilled Glass Technician.
