What does an architectural glass designer do?

An Architectural Glass Designer specializes in creating and specifying decorative or functional glass elements for buildings and interior spaces. They work with architects, builders, and clients to design custom glass features such as windows, doors, walls, partitions, and facades. Their role involves selecting materials, developing patterns or textures, and ensuring that the glass meets safety, aesthetic, and performance requirements. This profession blends creativity with technical knowledge of glass manufacturing and installation processes.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an architectural glass designer?

To thrive as an Architectural Glass Designer, you need a strong background in architectural design, materials science, and proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD), often supported by a degree in architecture, design, or a related field. Familiarity with industry-standard tools such as AutoCAD, Rhino, and glass fabrication technologies, as well as knowledge of relevant safety codes and certifications, is essential. Creativity, attention to detail, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for collaborating with clients, architects, and fabricators. These skills ensure innovative, functional, and safe glass installations that meet both aesthetic and structural project requirements.

How does an architectural glass designer typically collaborate with architects and engineers during a project?

Architectural Glass Designers work closely with architects and structural engineers from the initial concept through to project completion. They participate in design meetings to ensure their glass solutions meet both aesthetic goals and safety standards, while also providing technical input on feasibility, materials, and installation methods. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as designers must coordinate with other professionals to address challenges like load-bearing requirements, energy efficiency, and compliance with building codes. This collaborative process ensures the final design integrates seamlessly with the broader architectural vision.

Job description

Architectural Glass Sales

View13 | Fleetwood & Kolbe Dealer


Do you see a wall of glass and think "opportunity," not "window"?

View13 is looking for someone who's genuinely obsessed with architectural glass - the sightlines, the engineering, the way a Fleetwood pocket door or a Kolbe curtain wall can completely transform a space - to own new business development for our premium window and door lines in the luxury residential construction market.

This isn't a role for someone who waits for leads. It's for someone who gets excited walking a job site, geeks out talking thermal performance and glazing systems with an architect, and treats every design office and build site as a chance to put more glass in the world.

If you thrive on autonomy, love the chase of a new deal, and want your income tied directly to your own hustle - and if "architectural glass" makes you lean in rather than zone out - this is your seat.


What You'll Own

  • Build Your Territory - Develop relationships with architects, builders, designers, developers, and luxury homeowners across your market. You decide who to pursue and how.
  • Create Opportunity Where None Existed - Research upcoming residential projects, get in front of design teams early, and turn cold leads into qualified pipeline.
  • Be the Face of a Premium Brand - Host lunch-and-learns, attend trade shows and industry events, and become the go-to expert on high-end fenestration and architectural glass systems.
  • Drive the Deal - Prospect daily, qualify opportunities, coordinate with estimating on proposals, and manage your pipeline like it's your own business.
  • Forge Strategic Alliances - Build partnerships with complementary trades and suppliers that generate long-term, repeat business.

You're a Fit If You:

  • Have a genuine passion for architectural glass, design, and premium building products - this shows up naturally in how you talk about the work
  • Get energized by new relationships and closing gaps competitors haven't found yet
  • Are comfortable being measured on results - new relationships built, pipeline created, deals closed
  • Prefer figuring out how to win over being told exactly what to do
  • Have a track record of building something - a territory, a book of business, a network - largely on your own initiative
  • Want a role where ambition and effort translate directly into visible wins
  • Love to network - this role requires attending after-hours and weekend events

What Success Looks Like

Your performance will be tracked (and rewarded) based on tangible, ambitious metrics: new builder and architect relationships, job site and office visits, lunch-and-learns delivered, qualified opportunities generated, pipeline dollar value, and new accounts opened. No ambiguity - just clear targets and the freedom to hit them your way.


What We Offer

  • Representation of premium, in-demand brands (Fleetwood, Kolbe) in a growing luxury market
  • Autonomy to build and run your book of business
  • A company that rewards initiative and results, not just tenure
  • Support from an operations and estimating team so you can focus on selling and relationship-building
  • Base pay $60,000-$80,000 plus commission = $80,000-$180,000 expected total compensation


At View13, We Live a HIGHER Standard

  • Here to Serve - We put our customers, partners, and teammates first, creating an exceptional experience from the first conversation to the final installation.
  • Integrity - We do the right thing, communicate honestly, and build trust that lasts.
  • Growth Mindset - We are always learning, improving, and looking for better ways to serve the luxury building community.
  • Hard Work, Hard Play - We work with intensity, celebrate our wins, and enjoy building something meaningful together.
  • Elite Performance - Good isn't good enough. We set ambitious goals, measure results, and hold ourselves to a higher standard.
  • Respect - We value every relationship, treat people professionally, and recognize that our reputation is built one interaction at a time.
