A Taste of What You'll Do

As a Senior Project Engineer at Glass, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the future of manufacturing by leading projects that bring new systems, capabilities, and innovations to life. Working cross-functionally, you’ll partner with operations, maintenance, vendors, and leadership to design, build, and start up capital projects that directly impact safety, quality, efficiency, and cost performance.
