Job prospects | Most plumbers are employed by plumbing firms that do small domestic plumbing and repair work. Â Many are employed by large plumbing firms and some work directly for the building industry on new constructions. Â Plumbers may also be self-employed. Â Plumbers may also work for State Government departments concerned with public works.Usually demand is linked with activity in the construction industry. Â However, unlike other building trades, downturns in building activity may have less effect on plumbers because of the work available in renovation and maintenance. Â Demand is also more stable because, by law, certain jobs must be performed by licenced plumbers. |
