The Fenestration Installer apprenticeship is designed for individuals looking to build a career in the construction and glazing sector with a focus on installing windows, doors, bi-folds, rooflights and conservatories. Apprentices gain hands-on experience working on both new build and refurbishment projects, learning to install a wide range of fenestration products using materials such as PVC-U, aluminium, timber, steel and composites. The role involves working on-site, often at height and in varying weather conditions and requires a strong understanding of building structures and installation techniques.
Employers benefit from developing skilled installers who can work independently or as part of a team, ensuring high-quality installations that meet industry standards. Apprentices interact with a variety of stakeholders including site managers, architects and customers, making them valuable contributors to both domestic and commercial projects.
Whether you're a glazing company, construction firm or property developer, this apprenticeship offers a cost-effective way to recruit and train new talent.
This apprenticeship also offers progression routes into specialist areas such as curtain walling, surveying and working on high-rise buildings, helping employers future-proof their workforce in line with evolving regulations and safety standards.
