Day in the life
You start your morning with a set of blueprints and a walkthrough of the site. You map out pipe runs, confirm fixture locations, and coordinate with the GC and trades to keep the schedule tight. By mid-day, you’re cutting, fitting, and securing pipe, setting fixtures, and verifying every connection. When an unexpected issue pops up, you troubleshoot quickly, bring the system back on track, and document the fix. Throughout the day, you keep every step aligned with local plumbing codes and project specifications, and you wrap up with a check-in on tomorrow’s tasks.
