日常工作
跟師傅去住宅、商廈、學校或地盤做供水同排水工程,學識睇圖則、計物料、用工具同判斷工序次序,亦要同客人同判頭講清楚需要幾多時間同物料。
入行關卡
入行本身冇法定牌照,但一般要求中三或以上學歷(實際視僱主及訓練計劃而定),身體狀況要適合做體力同高空工作。真正嘅關卡係考牌:向水務署申請水喉匠考試並符合學歷同實務年資等條件,合格同取得牌照之後,先可以獨立承接指定水管工程。
薪酬與晉升
薪酬冇法定薪級,由僱主按日薪、月薪或件工決定,學徒期、技工期同持牌後嘅計法唔同,自承接工程就按報價扣成本,所以本站唔估算收入。路線係學徒 → 水喉技工 → 持牌水喉匠 → 管工或自行承接工程。
English
Day-to-day work
You work with a plumber at housing estates, commercial buildings, schools and sites on supply and drainage jobs, learning to read drawings, take off materials, use the tools and judge the order of work, as well as explaining time and materials to clients and subcontractors.
Entry requirements and licensing
No statutory licence is needed to start, but Secondary 3 or above is the usual expectation depending on the employer and training scheme, and you must be fit for physical and height work. The real gate is the licence: you apply to the Water Supplies Department for the plumbing examination and must meet its academic and practical experience conditions; only then may you carry out specified pipe works independently.
Pay and progression
There is no statutory pay scale: the employer sets day rates, monthly pay or piece rates, and the basis differs between apprenticeship, technician work and licensed work, while contractors deduct their own costs from the quoted price. The route runs apprentice, plumbing technician, licensed plumber, then supervisor or contractor.
