Pool Builder

A Pool Builder constructs and installs swimming pools and associated features, working on residential and commercial projects. You might work on-site, collaborating with clients to design and plan the pool layout. Your role involves excavating, forming, and reinforcing the pool structure, as well as installing plumbing, electrical systems, and finishing surfaces. You’ll ensure all work meets safety standards and adheres to building codes.

Pool Builders play a key role in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing pools. You'll need to have strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work with various construction materials. You'll also need good communication skills to liaise with clients and other tradespeople to ensure the project runs smoothly and meets client expectations.
