Site Installer / Skilled Labourer for Double Glazing
Thermawood Boroondara is the Melbourne installer of the
Thermawood retrofit double glazing system
— a patented method that keeps original window frames and converts them into thermally efficient double-glazed units. Done right, it turns a draughty 100-year-old Victorian into something you'd be proud to live in.
We're looking for a Skilled Labourer to join our Melbourne install crew on retrofit projects across Victoria — almost exclusively (~95%) residential, with a focus on
timber sashes, heritage windows, and restoration-grade work
.
It's precision work. It's not rip-and-replace.
We'll train you on the Thermawood process from day one. What we need you to bring is
trade-grade craftsmanship and the kind of work ethic that doesn't need babysitting
.
What You'll Actually Do
Install double glazing on residential retrofit jobs across metro Melbourne.
Assist on the installs from van-load to customer sign-off.
Learn and deliver the Thermawood process to spec.
Toolbox meetings, pack up/pack down, on-site problem-solving.
Handle client interactions on-site — professional, transparent, direct.
Quality control — if it's not right, we fix it. Our name's on it.
End-of-day reports into ServiceM8 + quick summary to the boss.
Work your way through the Thermawood pathway to increase pay.
What You Bring
2+ years
in construction, carpentry, joinery, or similar trade.
Timber window, sash, or heritage joinery experience is a
big plus
(not a dealbreaker — we'll teach you).
Ability to think for yourself, take measurements, mark out accurately.
Confident with power tools:



rail saw, multi-tool, drop saw, pin gun.
Calm under pressure. Clients can be fussy. Your job is to handle it.
White Card, driver's licence, reliable transport.
Why This Job Isn't Like Others
Residential only, no mega-sites, no high-vis drama.
You work in people's homes, do a clean job, leave it better than you found it.
Skilled work, not grunt work.
The Thermawood process rewards care and precision over speed-for-speed's-sake.
Pay reflects outcomes, not just hours.
If you're efficient, get it right first time, and execute your role well, there's no ceiling on what we'll pay — we don't have a wage cap for performers.
Real progression
— Increase your skillset and pay as your Thermawood ticket grows. Experienced installers at our shop earn well above standard award rates, and there's no wage cap for the right operator. Oppurtunity to become a Team Leader and run a crew of your own.
Stable work.
Retrofit double glazing is growing fast as homeowners chase energy efficiency. Work isn't going anywhere.
