Warrior Plumbing, an Indigenous plumbing and gas fitting company, is on a growth trajectory, recruiting additional talent after doubling revenue and expanding its team to thirty people in two years.
The company is looking for skilled plumbers, particularly those of Indigenous heritage, to work on Indigenous-led housing projects across Metro Vancouver. Warrior Plumbing prioritizes creating opportunities for Indigenous individuals to contribute to community development and address the housing shortage in British Columbia.
“We are proud to be an Indigenous-owned business and to open doors for Indigenous people to participate in significant projects within their own communities,” company president Curtis said in a statement. “Our team is dedicated to excellence, sustainability, diversity and community, and we exist to make a positive impact in Metro Vancouver’s real estate industry.”
Current projects include residential development Seymour Village, a Tsleil-Waututh Nation and Aquilini project in North Vancouver, Kwasen Village, a new residential community in Burnaby led by the Musqueam Nation, Tsleil-Waututh Nation, and Aquilini Developments, and the TWN Health Homes Initiative for housing renovations at the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. Warrior Plumbing also provides plumbing and gas fitting services to homeowners in the greater Vancouver area.
The goal is to recruit Indigenous youth, as they are the fastest-growing segment of the working-age population in Canada. It’s important to give the next generation careers that will remain in demand despite rapid technological advancements.
Warrior Plumbing intends to hire and train more youth who will benefit from job opportunities in the local trades industry and contribute to meeting the urgent need for housing in the province.
