執業範圍
指定嘅供水系統工程(例如新裝或改動水錶、改動內部供水系統、接駁街喉)必須由持牌水喉匠處理,持牌人亦要就工程向水務署申請同提交證明文件。未持牌而做呢類工程,從業員同僱主都有法律風險。
如何取得牌照
一般先在行內做技工,累積水管工程實務年資,其後向水務署申請水喉匠考試(筆試及實務),並符合水務署公布嘅學歷同經驗條件;考試合格先獲發牌照。牌照有指定年期,續期要符合當時嘅要求,以水務署公布為準。
薪酬與晉升
薪酬由僱主或工程合約決定,冇法定薪級;自行承接工程就按報價扣物料同人工成本,利潤同工程數量同工期關係大,所以本站唔估算收入。持牌後可以獨立承接指定工程,亦可做管工、開設水喉工程公司,或者兼做物業維修同驗收工作。

Scope of practice
Specified water supply works, such as installing or altering a meter, altering internal plumbing or making a connection to a street main, must be handled by a licensed plumber, who also applies to the department and submits certification for the works. Carrying out such works without a licence exposes both the worker and the employer to legal risk.
How to get licensed
In practice you first work as a plumbing technician to build up practical water pipe experience, then apply to the Water Supplies Department for the plumbing examination, which has a written and a practical part, and meet the published academic and experience conditions; the licence is issued on passing. It runs for a set term and renewal is subject to the requirements published at the time.
Pay and progression
Pay is set by the employer or the works contract, with no statutory scale; those taking on their own contracts deduct material and labour costs from the quoted price, so profit tracks the number and duration of jobs and this site prints no estimate. Once licensed you can take on specified works independently, supervise a crew, set up a plumbing contracting firm, or combine this with property maintenance and inspection work.
