Careers, training and courses

Training to be a plumbing or heating engineer

The plumbing and heating industry offers diverse career paths, good wages and the opportunity to run your own business. Many stay on the tools for the whole of their careers, but others move into renewables, design, research and development, consultancy, public health engineering, manufacturing, teaching, or higher management.

Recognised as critical workers, good plumbers are always in demand, whether in people’s homes, on building sites, working on infrastructure such as water or gas, or installing and maintaining commercial or industrial systems.
