Experienced Carpenter to Glass Trainee (Lead Glazier)

Pay: $30.00 - $40.00 per hour

Job description:

Job title: Finish Carpenter - Glass Installer Trainee (Paid Training)

Pay: $30 – $40 per hour

Job type: Full-time
Location: Malvern, PA 19355

You already have the hands. We'll teach you the glass.

If you're a finish carpenter, trim carpenter, cabinet installer, or precision tradesperson who's tired of dusty job sites, framing schedules, or seasonal slowdowns, this is your way into a cleaner, higher-paying trade — with no pay cut while you learn.

Top Pro Glass installs frameless shower doors, custom mirrors, glass railings, and glass partitions in high-end homes across Chester County and the Philadelphia suburbs. The skills that make a great glass installer are the ones you already use every day: reading a tape to 1/16", working plumb and level in rooms that aren't, and respecting a finished space. Most trades take years to learn. With your foundation, our paid fast-track training has carpenters installing our main product lines in 4 to 6 months.

How the paid training works

You earn full wages from day one. This is a real job with training built in — not an apprenticeship stipend.

Months 1-2: Work side by side with a Lead Glazier every day. Learn measuring, glass handling, prep, and our hardware systems.
Months 3-4: Start running portions of installs yourself — mirrors and standard enclosures — with your lead checking your work.
Months 5-6: Install our main products (shower enclosures, custom mirrors) with increasing independence.
Beyond: A real path to Lead Glazier — your own jobs, your own crew.
What we're looking for

Finish/trim carpentry, cabinet installation, millwork, or similar precision trade experience
Comfortable measuring and working in 1/16" increments
Careful habits in occupied, finished homes — drop cloths, clean lines, no shortcuts
Able to lift and maneuver heavy materials safely (we work in teams with proper equipment)
Valid driver's license
No glass experience required. Precision and work ethic are the things we can't teach.
Pay and benefits

$30 to $40 per hour based on experience and progression — our goal is for our installers to be the highest paid in the region
Health & Dental insurance
3% retirement contribution
Relocation assistance available for the right candidate
Steady, year-round residential work — no winter layoffs, no bid-cycle gaps
Clean, climate-controlled finished homes — not muddy new construction sites
