United Association Local 464 represents plumbers and pipefitters across the Omaha, Nebraska, metropolitan area and surrounding eastern Nebraska counties. The local provides a highly skilled workforce for complex piping systems, ranging from high-pressure steam and process piping to commercial plumbing and medical gas installations. As the primary labor source for signatory mechanical contractors in eastern Nebraska, Local 464 ensures that large-scale infrastructure projects meet rigorous safety and quality standards while providing members with sustainable careers.
The Omaha market is characterized by steady industrial growth and significant institutional investment, making the role of the pipe trades essential to the local economy. Local 464 members operate across diverse environments, including heavy industrial sites, municipal water treatment plants, and high-rise commercial developments. Because the jurisdiction includes major logistics and energy infrastructure, the union maintains a robust training program to keep pace with evolving technological demands. This commitment to technical excellence makes the local a cornerstone for signatory primes seeking to mitigate risk on high-stakes builds. The stability of the Omaha construction landscape relies heavily on the collective bargaining agreements brokered by this organization to maintain labor harmony and competitive standards.
Under the current collective bargaining agreement effective October 14, 2025, the journeyman hourly rate for UA Local 464 is $46.25, contributing to a total package of $70.43 per hour when including fringe benefits. Apprentices enter the program at a percentage of the journeyman rate, typically starting around 45% to 50% and receiving incremental raises every six to twelve months as they complete required classroom hours and on-the-job training milestones. By the fifth and final year, an apprentice usually earns roughly 80% to 90% of the full scale. This structured progression ensures that labor costs remain predictable for contractors while incentivizing skill acquisition. The roughly $24.18 difference between the check wage and the total package covers essential benefits that provide long-term financial security for the member and their family.
The signatory contractor landscape for UA Local 464 consists of a diverse mix of large-scale mechanical primes and specialized service firms. These contractors handle the bulk of Omaha’s heavy industrial work, particularly in the growing tech corridor and the region's extensive agricultural processing sector. Hiring typically fluctuates based on major project starts, such as hospital expansions or new data center phases, where hundreds of pipefitters may be required simultaneously. There is also a strong presence of smaller, specialized firms focusing on commercial plumbing service and HVAC maintenance. This variety provides members with opportunities for both long-term project-based work and steady, year-round service department roles within the local market.
While both trades fall under the Local 464 umbrella, plumbers primarily focus on potable water, sanitary drainage, and gas systems in residential and commercial buildings. Pipefitters generally work on high-pressure industrial systems, including steam, chemical processing, and HVAC hydronics. The apprenticeship program provides core training for both, but members often specialize in one path as they progress through their careers in the Omaha market.
No prior experience is required to apply for the apprenticeship program. The JATC is designed to take individuals with no background in the trades and provide them with five years of comprehensive classroom and field instruction. However, a strong background in mathematics and a history of reliable work attendance are highly valued during the competitive interview process for new applicants.
Yes, Local 464 frequently evaluates experienced non-union tradespeople for membership through an organizing process, which may include a skills assessment to determine their proper classification. Journeymen from other UA locals looking to transfer must follow the standard UA constitution procedures, typically involving a travel card and eventual request for a permanent transfer, depending on local work volume and leadership approval.
Members have access to a wide array of industry-recognized certifications, including ASME welding certifications, medical gas installation, backflow prevention, and various UA-specific safety credentials. These certifications are funded through the fringe benefit package, allowing members to increase their value to signatory contractors without out-of-pocket costs, which is a significant advantage in the competitive Omaha mechanical construction sector.

Most locals require applicants to be at least 18, legally able to work in the U.S., hold a high school diploma or GED, pass a basic math/aptitude assessment and a drug screen, and be physically able to perform plumbers & pipefitters work. Some Local 464 programs give preference to applicants inside the jurisdiction or to veterans. Eligibility rules are set by the local's Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee (JATC), so confirm the current criteria with the hall before applying.
Apprenticeship applications go through the UA Local 464 JATC, not through a contractor or a recruiter. Applications typically open in defined intake windows each year: you submit the application with proof of age, education, and residency, sit for an aptitude test, and then interview. Ranked applicants are placed on an eligibility list and indentured as signatory contractors call for apprentices. Gulfstream Strategic Placements does not process apprenticeship applications, contact the Local 464 training center directly.
Plumbers & Pipefitters apprenticeships generally run four to five years, roughly 8,000 to 10,000 hours of on-the-job training plus several hundred classroom hours per year. Apprentices earn a paycheck the entire time, stepping up through the wage periods until they turn out as journeymen at 100% of scale.

Non-union plumbers & pipefitters are usually placed with open-shop contractors instead, we recruit for both.
