By the time commercial glazing materials reach the jobsite, some of the most important work has already happened.
Behind every successful installation is a process involving planning, fabrication, quality control, and problem-solving. And overseeing that process takes more than technical knowledge. It takes experience.
For Careers in Construction Month, we’re taking you behind the scenes with Phil Crisp, our Shop Manager at Chesapeake Glazing, to explore what it takes to keep our fabrication shop running and our projects moving forward.
But beyond his daily responsibilities, Phil plays another important role: passing his knowledge on to the next generation of glaziers.
Because in an industry built on skilled craftsmanship, the experience we pass down is just as important as the skills we develop.
Take a look at a day in Phil’s shoes as he shares the challenges, lessons, and experiences that come with a career in commercial glazing.
And for anyone considering a career in the trades, Phil has one question:
“What are you waiting for?”
