South Shore Glass and Door | South Lake Tahoe, CA
About Us
South Shore Glass and Door has served the Tahoe Basin since 1972. We install premium windows, doors, and glass for homeowners, builders, and contractors across one of the most demanding building environments in the country: heavy snow loads, high winds, big views, and custom homes. We work with leading brands including Andersen, Weather Shield, and Marvin, and we're looking for an experienced installer ready to step into a leadership role.
The Role
As Lead Installer / Assistant Foreman, you'll run installation crews on the job site and work directly alongside our Site Foreman/Superintendent. You'll be the person who keeps a job moving: leading the crew, solving problems as they come up, and making sure the work is done right, on time, and to the customer's standards. This is a development role. You'll shadow the superintendent, learn how we manage complex projects from start to finish, and take on more responsibility as you prove yourself.
What You'll Do
Lead day-to-day installation crews: assign tasks, set the pace, and keep work on schedule
Install windows, doors, and related products to manufacturer specifications, including flashing, waterproofing, and weatherproofing details
Review plans, order details, and site conditions before each job to spot issues early
Shadow the superintendent on larger and more complex projects, learning scheduling, sequencing, and coordination with other trades
Make sound, timely decisions in the field, including when information is incomplete, and take ownership of the outcome
Communicate with customers, builders, and general contractors on site, and escalate issues to the office promptly
Coordinate with our warehouse and ordering teams on materials, deliveries, and job readiness
Inspect completed work for quality and complete punch lists and paperwork accurately
Coach and mentor newer installers, and model safe, professional work habits
Keep job-site, tools, and vehicle in good order
Who You Are
- A proven window and door installer with a track record of quality work
- Ready to step up and lead, and willing to learn what it takes to run a job, not just work it
- Strong with time management: you plan your day, hit your targets, and keep others on track
- Decisive and accountable: you make the call when there's no perfect answer, and you stand behind it
- A calm problem-solver who sees through the complexity of a job instead of being slowed by it
- A clear, respectful communicator with crew, customers, and contractors alike
- Positive, dependable, and eager to grow with a long-established local company
Experience
- Required: [3-5+] years of professional window and door installation experience; working knowledge of installation methods, flashing, and building envelope basics; ability to read plans, measurements, and work orders
- Preferred: Experience leading or training a crew; familiarity with Andersen, Weather Shield, Marvin, or similar brands; experience with high-end residential or mountain/snow-country construction; commercial glazing or storefront experience; OSHA 10/30 or first aid/CPR certification
- Comfort with basic computer use: email, texting, job photos, and digital work orders or schedules
Requirements
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record; reliable transportation to job sites across the Tahoe Basin
- Own hand tools, other tools, and tools needed for job completion
- Ability to comfortably lift windows, climb ladders and scaffolding, and work at heights, outdoors, and in all weather
- Willingness to work on a variety of sites, including some travel outside the Basin
- Ability to pass background check / drug screen, if applicable
What We Offer
- A clear path from Lead Installer to Foreman
- Paid training and manufacturer product education
- Company vehicle/tool allowance
- A close-knit team and steady year-round work
- Principals only. Recruiters, please don't contact this job poster.
