Glazier Apprenticeship – NU VU GLASS, Twin Falls, ID
Program Information
The Glazier Apprenticeship at NU VU GLASS in Twin Falls, Idaho is a registered, structured training opportunity for individuals who want to build a career in residential and commercial glass installation. Apprentices work directly with experienced glaziers and service managers, learning how to install, repair, and maintain a wide range of glass products including windows, doors, storefronts, shower enclosures, and specialty glass systems. The role combines hands-on field work with process-driven service operations, giving apprentices a clear understanding of how quality installation and customer communication come together in a professional glass company.
Day to day, apprentices assist with loading and unloading glass, frames, and related materials, inspecting each piece for defects, and cleaning glass thoroughly before installation. Under guidance, they learn to handle, move, and set glass safely, using proper lifting techniques, suction cups, and handling equipment. Apprentices help complete service and installation projects in both residential homes and commercial buildings, becoming familiar with sealants, fasteners, hardware, and common glazing systems. They are also responsible for helping maintain a clean and organized work truck and jobsite, reflecting NU VU GLASS’s emphasis on professionalism, safety, and customer satisfaction.
The program goes beyond basic installation tasks. Apprentices are taught how to follow standard operating procedures, complete required paperwork for each job, and track work progress in job books or digital systems. They learn how the Service Department operates as a unit, supporting scheduling, estimating, and follow-up service. Customer service is a key focus: apprentices are expected to present themselves neatly, communicate respectfully with homeowners, contractors, and property managers, and help ensure that every project meets company quality standards and profitability goals.
Because NU VU GLASS services a variety of project sizes and types, apprentices gain exposure to different installation conditions, from new construction to remodels and small service calls. Over time, they develop the ability to solve practical problems in the field, adapt to non-standard conditions, and work efficiently in fast-paced environments. The company expects all employees to be cross-trained beyond their immediate responsibilities, which means apprentices may assist in other areas during peak workloads or staff absences. This cross-training approach helps build well-rounded glaziers who understand both field and service operations and are prepared to advance into higher-responsibility roles.
