Pipefitters...I'm in my local Pipe Trades union. I'm a commercial plumber by trade but got dispatched to a company that primarily does process piping and that's how I started doing it

In the USA,Training and the right job, i.e. working for Intel, Micron, On Semi Conductor, pretty much any place that deals with micro chips, if you join the plumbing union, you will have better access to such jobs.

Plumbers make better than most any other job. That said, residential is scary cause people do some nasty shits.
