As has been said unless you are prepared to do call outs, weekends or long hours etc then you are going to struggle to get it. The plumbers where I work are on about the same as you basic. They earn more from call out as they get paid per job. 1 night a week then back in to work the next day and 1 weekend a month. Finish work at 6 Friday straight into call out finish 8am Monday when you start normal work.

Boxing Day I was out for 19 hours straight and about 12 hours the day after, the money's good but you do earn it.

The last place I worked. Mon to fri, no weekends no call out. Set wage every week. 0830 - 1630 (always got stuck doing extra hours for free). All local work. Had time to fit in some private work so could earn more. Had to put myself out and change companies.

Now I do a minimum 15 extra hours a week before I even think about call out or overtime. A lot of driving, long days but more pay.
