Plumbing Journeyman

Once your application is approved and you are eligible for examination, you will be provided the contact information of the third-party testing vendor who you will contact to set the date, time and location of the examination.

Examination Requirements

• three (3) years of experience in the plumbing trade while employed by a licensed Plumbing contractor, or
• equivalent verifiable three (3) years of experience in the plumbing trade while serving in the U.S. military, or
• a verifiable out-of-state plumbing license that must be:
  • current, and
  • in good standing

  Step 3: Work as a Journeyman

  When a licensed plumbing journeyman performs plumbing work, it must be work performed under a licensed plumbing contractor. Generally, one works for a contractor as a registered apprentice to gain verifiable experience requirements to become a Journeyman, who also works for a contractor.

  A journeyman can supervise up to three Apprentices and work projects, both small and very large, and act as the job foreman. Journeyman work experience under a contractor can count as verifiable experience towards requirements to become a contractor.
