Position purpose

Sydney Glass has been proudly supplying glass across Sydney since 1958, and with more than 65 years in the industry, we are one of Sydney’s most established and trusted glass suppliers. From our Bankstown site, we cut, toughen and process glass in-house for everything from shower screens, mirrors and splashbacks to large commercial fitouts. We work with a wide range of customers, including homeowners, builders, glaziers, shopfitters and commercial clients, and we believe no job is too small.

As a Glass Cutter, you will be at the heart of our production process. Every job that leaves our site starts on the cutting table, and you will make sure each piece of float or laminated glass is cut accurately, efficiently and safely.

You will operate our automatic glass cutting table, work closely with the production team to keep jobs moving, and help maintain the high standard of quality our customers rely on.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced, glazier or glass cutter who takes pride in precise work and wants to grow with a well-established local business. For the right person, there is potential to progress into a more prominent role.

We are looking for a skilled, reliable team player who takes pride in quality workmanship and enjoys being part of a supportive production team. If you are experienced on an automatic cutting table, focused on accuracy and safety, and keen to build your career with us, we would love to hear from you. Manual cutting & speed cutting experience is also highly valued.
