Glazier Jobs in Illinois

A Glazier is an essential role in the construction industry, responsible for the installation and replacement of glass in buildings and structures. This includes everything from windows and storefronts to display cases, mirrors, skylights, and more. Glaziers also ensure the glass is cut to the right size and shape, installed correctly, and sealed properly to prevent leaks. They work with a variety of tools, materials, and on various surfaces, often working on scaffolding or ladders at considerable heights. Experience with safety protocols and knowledge of construction principles are crucial.

In terms of skills, a Glazier should have good hand-eye coordination, the ability to work at heights, and the physical strength to handle heavy glass pieces. Proficiency in mathematics is necessary for precise measurements. Certification is typically obtained through an apprenticeship, during which time Glaziers learn the necessary skills under the supervision of experienced professionals. Before becoming a Glazier, one could start in roles such as a Construction Laborer, Carpenter's Assistant, or even an Apprentice Glazier to gain relevant on-the-job experience and familiarize themselves with the construction environment.
