Plumbing Jobs in Chicago, IL

A Plumber is a professional who plays an essential role in the construction industry. They are responsible for installing, repairing, and maintaining the water supply, waste disposal, drainage, and heating systems in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Their work ensures that these systems meet the required safety standards and work efficiently. In addition to their technical duties, plumbers also interpret blueprints, specifications, and models, collaborate with other construction professionals, and ensure compliance with building regulations.

To successfully perform their duties, Plumbers need to possess a range of skills. Good problem-solving abilities, physical strength and stamina, and attention to detail are paramount. They should also be familiar with the use of specialized tools and equipment. Additionally, plumbers need to have a deep understanding of water and gas systems, building codes, and safety regulations. Most jurisdictions require plumbers to be licensed, which typically involves completing an apprenticeship and passing an exam. Prior to becoming a Plumber, a person might gain experience in related roles such as a Plumber's Helper, Pipefitter, or Steamfitter.
