JOSE FERNANDEZ

South Ozone Park,NY

Summary

Fresh out of Highschool I joined the Local 1 Apprenticeship program. I have since then been a plumber for a decade, and throughout my journey it has taken me to many places from underground all the way up to the top of a 70 story Highrise. I've worked on large scale projects in an airport to smaller alterations in hospitals and office buildings. Eventually, it led me to troubleshooting and preventative maintenance in homes and hospitals. Each project I was given was an opportunity to better my knowledge and skills. Despite being a master plumber, there is still so much more room to learn and grow. The plumbing trade is dynamic, therefore you will always be facing new challenges that contribute to a stronger skillset and that is why I love being a plumber.
