This is an ideal career for logical thinkers. As a plumber you install, lay out, test and maintain pipes, fixtures, fittings, and gas meters in line with plumbing regulations on domestic housing, businesses, or commercial properties. In your work you will be required to address environmental issues, and will have the appropriate education to enable you to do so.

Environment and culture of work place

A highly competitive industry that is dominated by small firms and self-employed tradespeople. You work within the areas of residential, commercial, or industrial properties that are under construction or in need of maintenance/repair. When working outdoors you will work in conditions that may be noisy, dirty, wet or messy. You will have to work in all weather conditions.
