Mutala Al-hassan

A reliable NZ PGDB Registered Plumber with 5 years of overseas plumbing experience (Ghana) and 3 years of New Zealand hands-on experience across residential new builds, drainage, and excavation. I have rapidly adapted to NZ standards, achieving my PGDB Plumber Registration in under 12 months of arrival. My 3 years of local experience covers all my core skills and current licences – including plumbing and drainage installation, excavator operation, plan interpretation, and new build rough-in/top-out.

I have hands-on experience with a range of pipe materials and installation methods across residential projects. I learn quickly, work hard, and am looking for a supportive team where I can further develop my gasfitting skills and broaden my maintenance knowledge while applying the strengths I have already proven.
