plumbers labourer

[ayrforce1]

What would be the work duties of a plumbers labourer and would they differ from other labouring jobs in construction industry. I fancy a change and the wages don`t look to bad, but nobody I`ve spoken to seem to be able to tell me if any special skills are required.
Many thanks.

probably the same as a electricians mate,,,,,,you need to be able to no what all the tools look like,,,,and and all the parts,,,pipe sizes etc,,,,,,if he sends you down the whole sales you gotta no what yr looking 4,,,,,,he"l probably teach you as you go,,,,although time is money,,,,,,,although like sparkies they need exp mates,,,,,

Thanks Bluevern I`m quite familiar with most of the tools and know yorkie fittings from compression it`s more the skills side that I need to know probably if it`s a semi-skilled job or differs from other labouring in some way. Trying to prepare myself if I get an interview I`ve been in construction since I left school. What really got me thinking was the wage difference in this job compared to other labouring jobs in construction as it currently pays about �8 an hour according to the SNIJIB and it got me thinking why.

Just to update. Didn`t go well. Was asked if I could do pipework as in copper etc. which I can`t. I`ve been in the trade since I left school and this is a new one on me. I`m more than capable of the hard work side of things but I honestly think this is ridiculous. Don`t think they need a labourer just a plumber who will work for less. To think it cost me money to attend this charade of an interview.
