Gasfitting Assistant

A Gasfitting Assistant supports licensed gasfitters in the installation, maintenance, and repair of gas lines, appliances, and systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Their duties typically include preparing tools and materials, assisting with pipe fitting and appliance connection, conducting basic tests under supervision, and ensuring safety protocols are followed on site. This entry-level role does not require a licence but often serves as a pathway toward becoming a qualified gasfitter.

Gasfitting Assistants may work on new construction projects or in existing buildings, and they must have a basic understanding of gas safety and mechanical systems. Some positions may involve working in confined spaces or outdoors, depending on the job site.
