Demand For Experienced & Master Plumbers
Currently the demand for experienced plumbers in Sydney is huge. In 2015 the NSW Department for Employment released statistics showing that over 40% of employers could not fill vacancies for plumbers. The main reasons for this shortage include: lack of relevant experience from applicants, no formal trade qualifications, and not having trade recognized qualifications in Australia. We here at Hunter Labour Hire receive new enquiries from clients looking for plumbers at least a couple of times a week.
