The work is precise. The crew is small.

Catalyst Glass & Aluminum supplies and installs high-performance European windows, doors, and curtain wall systems across British Columbia.

We work on custom homes, architect-driven projects, and complex building envelopes where precision matters. The work is demanding, the standards are high, and the crew stays intentionally small.

We're not always hiring. We're always interested in meeting capable people.

The Kind of Work We Do

Most openings are not standard. Neither is the work.

Our projects range from luxury custom residences and large lift-and-slide door systems to complex curtain wall installations and oversized glazing packages. Every project presents different conditions, details, and technical challenges.

Success in this role comes from accuracy, problem-solving, and craftsmanship. The difference between an average installation and an exceptional one is often measured in millimetres.

If you enjoy doing difficult work properly, you'll fit in here.

What It's Like to Work Here

We believe quality comes from accountability, not headcount.

Our crews are small, experienced, and highly collaborative. Every member of the team contributes directly to the finished product, from site preparation and layout through final adjustments and commissioning.

You'll work alongside people who care about the details, take pride in their craft, and understand that reputation is earned one project at a time.

Because the team is small, good work gets noticed quickly. So does bad work.

Where You'll Work

Most projects are located throughout Metro Vancouver, including:

  • Vancouver
  • North Shore
  • Burnaby
  • Coquitlam
  • Surrey
  • Maple Ridge
  • Pitt Meadows
  • Langley

Some travel within British Columbia may occasionally be required depending on project location.

Who We're Looking For

We are interested in:

Experienced Installers

Tradespeople with glazing, window, door, curtain wall, cladding, or building envelope experience who take pride in precision work.

Apprentices

Motivated individuals looking to build a long-term career within a highly specialized sector of the construction industry.

Trade Professionals

People from related construction backgrounds who possess strong technical aptitude, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.

More important than any specific resume is reliability, professionalism, and a commitment to doing things properly.

What We Value

  • Craftsmanship over shortcuts
  • Precision over speed
  • Professionalism on every site
  • Accountability without micromanagement
  • Continuous improvement
  • Respect for clients, trades, and teammates

Why Join Catalyst

You'll work on projects that few companies in Western Canada are equipped to deliver.

You'll gain exposure to leading European fenestration systems, advanced installation methodologies, and some of the most architecturally ambitious residential projects in British Columbia.

The work is challenging. The expectations are high. The opportunities for growth are real.
