What a service plumber job description is for

Plumbers choose between shops on the kind of work, the schedule and the pay. A description that says whether the job is service and repair, remodel rough-ins or new construction, and how emergency calls are shared, gets applications from people who want that work. It also lets you set the licensing bar clearly so unlicensed applicants do not apply for licensed work.
