Master tradesman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A master tradesman is a person who has a greater level of skill than most in the licensed trades; this is usually granted following instruction, testing and a period of practical experience.
The name is derived from the guild system.
For example, a master plumber, or master electrician is the highest level of plumber or electrician. Many trades contractors are required to have one master on staff, who usually takes the lead role. Compare with journeyman plumber or electrician.
