Job Description

Job Title: Superintendent-Commercial Glazing

Company: Mirror Works - Glendale, AZ

U.S. Position: Does not qualify for work visa/sponsorship.

The Company

Mirror Works delivers precision glass and mirror systems for commercial projects across the Phoenix, Arizona metro area. Our in-house fabrication and installation teams provide consistent execution from frame to finish. In business since 1986, we work alongside general contractors, developers, architects, and builders on projects where coordination matters and details can't be left to chance. We fabricate and install storefront, curtain wall, entrances, and interior glazing for the Valley's top general contractors, including work for Mayo Clinic and HonorHealth.

The Glazing Superintendent owns field execution on our Heavy Commercial and Tenant Improvement projects. You run the work in the field - crews, schedule, material flow, safety, and quality - and you are Mirror Works' face to the general contractor on site. You partner daily with project managers, assistant project managers, and the fabrication shop to make sure what gets built matches what was sold, on schedule and installed right the first time. This role is hands-on, field-based, and moves between active jobsites across the Valley.T

Field Leadership & Crew Management

• Direct daily field operations for multiple concurrent glazing projects - storefront, curtain wall, entrances, and interior glazing.
• Assign, schedule, and supervise glazing crews and foremen; balance manpower across jobs based on schedule priority and production needs.
• Set daily and weekly production goals, track progress against them, and adjust manpower or sequence when the job slips.
• Mentor foremen, journeymen, and apprentices; enforce workmanship standards and develop the next generation of field leaders.

Schedule & Coordination

• Attend GC coordination, OAC, and pre-installation meetings; represent Mirror Works professionally with general contractors, owners, and architects.
• Coordinate glazing scope with other trades - framing, drywall, waterproofing, MEP, and finishes - to protect sequence and avoid rework.
• Build and maintain three-week look-ahead schedules; communicate manpower and material needs to project management ahead of time.
• Verify field dimensions and existing conditions before fabrication releases; flag discrepancies between drawings and as-built conditions immediately.

Material, Logistics & Fabrication Interface

• Work with the fabrication shop and PMs on material releases, delivery timing, staging, and hoisting so glass and metal hit the site when the crew is ready for it.
• Manage on-site material handling, storage, protection, and inventory; minimize breakage, loss, and double-handling.
• Confirm deliveries against packing lists and shop drawings; report shortages, damage, or fabrication errors same day.

Quality & Technical Execution

• Ensure installation complies with approved shop drawings, submittals, manufacturer requirements, AAMA standards, and applicable building codes.
• Oversee layout, anchorage, glazing, sealant application, waterproofing tie-ins, and water testing; own the weatherproofing details.
• Conduct quality walks, build and close out punch lists, and drive final acceptance and closeout.
• Identify and document changed conditions, delays, and out-of-scope work; notify the PM promptly to support change orders and backcharge defense.

Safety

• Enforce Mirror Works and GC-specific safety programs; lead daily huddles, toolbox talks, and job hazard analyses.
• Own fall protection, rigging and hoisting, glass-handling, lift operation, and housekeeping compliance on every site.
• Investigate and report incidents and near misses; correct unsafe conditions before work continues.

Documentation & Reporting

• Complete daily reports covering manpower, work performed, deliveries, delays, visitors, and site conditions.
• Review and approve crew time; verify accurate cost coding for labor tracking.
• Maintain current drawings, submittals, and RFI responses in the field; ensure crews are building from the latest revision.
