Lewis Glass

Full job description

We're Lewis Glass, a small, owner-run shop in Franklin. We build custom shower enclosures, mirrors, and glass for homes all over the Nashville-Franklin area. We're hiring an entry-level helper to learn glass installation from the ground up. No experience required.

This is hands-on work. You'll be on job sites every day, handling glass, learning to measure, carrying glass panels, and helping our lead installers turn a bare bathroom into a finished shower the homeowner is proud of.

We'll teach you the trade. What we can't teach is showing up on time, taking pride in your work, and treating a customer's home with respect. Bring that, and we'll make you into a skilled installer.

If you're motivated, good with your hands, and want to build a career in a real trade, keep reading.

What your day looks like

You'll start at our shop in Franklin, load the truck with your lead installer, and review the day's jobs. Then you're out in the field around Williamson County and the Nashville area. One day it's a custom frameless shower enclosure in a new home, the next it's a wall of mirror or a glass railing in a remodel. Other days you're on the commercial side: aluminum storefronts and glass entrances for retail spaces and new construction. Every job is a little different, and every one ends with finished glass somebody's proud of. You'll learn by doing, right next to people who've done it for years.

What you'll do

• Ride with a lead installer and learn the trade on real jobs
• Help carry, position, and set glass (you'll lift 45 lbs+ through the day, heavier panels are two-person lifts)
• Hand tools, hold material, and learn to use drills, levels, and suction cups
• Keep the work area clean and protected in every home, every time
• Learn to caulk clean lines and check your work against the quality standards every Lewis Glass install has to meet
• Talk to homeowners like a professional and leave the place better than you found it

Who we're looking for

• Shows up on time and follows through. This is the one we won't bend on.
• Takes real pride in doing a job right
• Comfortable on your feet all day: lifting, bending, kneeling, climbing ladders
• Good with your hands and willing to learn the math (reading a tape measure, working in fractions)
• Respectful around customers and their homes
• Reliable transportation, a valid driver's license, and a clean driving record

No glass experience needed. A background in construction, remodeling, carpentry, or any hands-on work helps, but we don't require it. If you've never picked up a power tool and you learn fast and want it, apply anyway.

What you get

• Paid, hands-on training from installers who actually know the trade
• A real path to grow: helper to installer to lead installer, with pay that climbs as your skill does
• A guaranteed 40-hour work week, year-round, no seasonal layoffs
• 401(k) with up to 3% company match
• 10 days of paid vacation plus 5 days of paid sick time
• Bonus opportunities twice a year
• Referral program
• Tools and gear provided
• A small, tight crew that values good people and pulls together

Pay

$20–25/hour. New hires with no experience start at $20, and you climb toward $25 as your skill grows. We pay for skill, and you earn raises as you prove them.

Schedule

Full-time, Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 3:30 pm.

Before you start

Hired candidates complete a background check, a driving record review, and a drug test. Lewis Glass is an equal opportunity employer.

Pay: $20.00 - $25.00 per hour
