‘We’d love to have you’ Surrey plumber encourages women to join the trade

As many people probably know, BC’s handyman shortage has increased during the pandemic, and with an estimated 64,000 additional handymen needed over the next 10 years, things aren’t going to get much better.

Too few women enter the trades, especially in the sanitary sector.

“There is a general shortage,” says Preston Pilgrim, owner of Your Guy Plumbing & Drainage in Surrey. “But as far as the need for more women in the plumbing trade is concerned, it’s being talked about more and more.”

Part of the reason for this discrepancy may be that some women are reluctant to enter a traditionally male-dominated industry. But there’s nothing about the job that requires a specific gender, Pilgrim says.

“Plumbing is a physically demanding job, but women can definitely do it,” he says. “For women looking to break into trading, we would love to have you as part of our team.”

And indeed there are many reasons for entering the plumbing trade, especially for those who are looking for stability, independence and good earning potential.

A range of training and certification programs are available to help ease the start of a rewarding and exciting career, including the BCIT Piping Foundation programs – a great way to prepare for entry-level plumbing employment.
