Pipelayers, pipefitters, and steamfitters are all specialties within the plumbing profession. As a plumber, you can specialize in a particular area or offer services in multiple specialties, including pipelaying and pipefitting.
Plumbers can be involved in hands-on work or may work in a design capacity, drafting blueprints, and helping make the installation process more efficient.
A plumber would typically work on larger construction projects and would need to read the blueprints detailing all pipe and fixture locations while satisfying building codes, regulations, and electrical wiring locations. In addition, they are responsible for staying within a given budget and schedule. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects growth in this career field due to new building construction and stricter water efficiency standards for plumbing systems.
- An expert in plumbing is aware of building regulations and safety standards and works to ensure these standards are upheld.
- Legal expertise can also be an aspect of plumbing since the laws regulating this trade vary depending on where you live and can be difficult for a layperson to understand.
