• As a journeyman plumber, my days are a mix of problem-solving, hands-on work, and interacting with clients in both residential and commercial settings. The job demands technical skill, adaptability, and a knack for staying calm under pressure, whether I’m unclogging a kitchen drain in a family home, or troubleshooting a complex piping issue in an office building.
• Repaired, replaced, and installed pipes, fixtures, and valves in residential and commercial buildings.

Commercial and Residential Projects.

As a journeyman plumber, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to a wide range of projects, from large-scale commercial builds to small, detail-driven remodels. One of the most notable experiences in my career was working on a seven-story hospital addition, a project that demanded high levels of precision, code compliance, and coordination with other trades.

I was part of a plumbing team on a 7-story hospital rebuild. Working within the constraints of a healthcare environment meant adhering to strict safety standards, infection control protocols, and inspection schedules. The job required a deep understanding of blueprint reading, system layout, and the ability to troubleshoot in real time as conditions and plans evolved.

15-story condo building, West Loop, Chicago.

As an apprentice plumber, I gained invaluable hands-on experience while working on a high-rise residential project in one of Chicago's fastest-growing neighborhoods—the West Loop. The 15-story condo building featured luxury units, ground-floor retail, and a complex mechanical system that required coordination across multiple trades and phases.

As an apprentice plumber, I had the opportunity to assist on a third-floor hospital remodel in an active healthcare facility. This project provided valuable experience in working within a critical, occupied environment where safety, cleanliness, and precision were top priorities. It gave me a deeper understanding of how plumbing systems support hospital operations, and taught me how to work efficiently without disrupting patient care.

As an apprentice plumber, I had the opportunity to gain real-world experience performing service work in high-rise residential buildings throughout some of Chicago’s most well-known neighborhoods, including Lincoln Park, the Gold Coast, and the North Side. These fast-paced, occupied environments provided the ideal setting to develop my plumbing skills, while learning how to navigate complex systems and interact professionally with residents and building management.
