Over the coming weeks we’re going to be taking a look at a number of different occupations in British Columbia. In a series of blog posts sponsored by , we’ll be sharing just some of the many careers that have positions open in our province right now, and helping connect you to the tools that could help you get a fulfilling (and well paying!) occupation. With a projected one million new job openings in BC by the year 2020, 43% of which require skills training, it really is just a matter of finding your fit.
Today we’re looking at pipefitters, where jobs offer an average salary of around $60,000 per year. As the construction industry continues to experience rapid growth in BC in its commercial, industrial and residential sectors, more and more pipefitting positions are created – as well as a demand for skilled workers.
Like many of you, I’m not directly connected to this industry and the folks working in it are a bit of a hidden workforce to me. But you don’t have to look far in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»to see projects that they’re working on. Next time you go outside, have a look at where all of those cranes are and you can be certain there are some of these guys working nearby. This video below takes a close look at exactly what pipefitters do, demystifying it and giving you a look into their work.
