We serve six Greater Vancouver cities from a Vancouver base, and we're adding field plumbers who care about craftsmanship and honest customer communication.

Hiring FAQ

Plumbing Jobs Vancouver - Common Questions

Are you actively hiring for plumbing jobs in Vancouver?
Yes. Right Choice Plumbing is currently hiring licensed journeyman plumbers, plumbing apprentices, and drainage technicians for full-time work based in Vancouver with daily service across Greater Vancouver. Positions stay posted here until filled.
Do I need a BC plumber licence to apply?
Journeyman and drainage technician roles require a valid BC plumber certificate (or equivalent documented drainage experience for the drain role). Apprentice applicants must be registered — or eligible to register — in the BC apprenticeship program.
What areas will I work in?
Our plumbing jobs cover Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, and Coquitlam. Most days start from the Vancouver area; drive times vary by neighbourhood. We do not send crews to the Fraser Valley or Sunshine Coast.
Is emergency / on-call work required?
Licensed plumbers and drainage techs join a fair on-call rotation for 24/7 emergency service. Rotation is shared across the team, and after-hours calls pay a premium. Apprentices assist on emergencies under a journeyman but are not primary on-call until qualified.
How do I apply for a plumber job in Vancouver?
Fill out the application form on this page, email quotes@rightchoiceplumbing.ca with your résumé, or call 604-330-9695. Include your trade level, years of experience, and which role you're applying for. We reply to qualified applicants within a few business days.
Do you sponsor apprentices or help with Red Seal hours?
We hire registered apprentices and support on-the-job hours toward your BC ticket. Pairing with senior plumbers on real service work — hot water tanks, drains, leaks, and emergencies — is the fastest way to learn the trade.
