Apply now, one application reaches our recruiting team and we match you against active mechanical contractor openings.
There is no single national UA pay scale, each UA local negotiates its own journeyman rate with its signatory contractors. The table on this page lists every UA local with a sourced wage sheet, highest base rate first, with the effective date and source for each figure.
Pipefitters are UA members, so the pipefitters union pay scale is the wage sheet of the UA local covering the work, for example the scales listed on this page for pipefitting locals. Each local sets its own journeyman base rate and total package; open a local's row to see its full classification table, apprentice steps and source.
Plumbers union pay scales are also set by each UA local's agreement, and they differ from pipefitter scales even within the same local when the local holds separate classifications. The table above lists every UA local's sourced journeyman base rate; open a local for the plumbing classification breakdown and effective date.
UA apprentice pay is a percentage of the journeyman scale that rises by period, commonly starting near half the journeyman rate and stepping up each year of the apprenticeship. Each local's page on this site shows its apprentice steps where the sourced sheet publishes them; confirm current percentages with the hall.
Rates marked official come from the local's own published wage sheet or a named government wage determination that names the local's line. Rows without a primary source are labelled unverified, confirm the current scale with the hall before relying on it.
