Join a national brand on the ground floor in Madison

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing — "The Punctual Plumber" — is opening in the greater Madison market, serving Madison, Middleton, Waunakee, Verona, Oregon, and surrounding Dane County communities. We're a locally owned franchise of a 350+ territory location national brand, backed by national-grade systems, training, and marketing, but owned/operated by a Wisconsin owner who lives here.

We are hiring our founding service team. As one of the first journeyman plumbers on the truck, you'll have the rare combination of a startup's growth runway and a national brand's infrastructure. The right candidates here become tomorrow's lead techs, service managers, and master plumber sponsors.


What you'll do

  • Diagnose and repair residential plumbing issues: leaks, drains, water heaters, fixtures, sewer lines, gas lines, sump and ejector pumps.

  • Perform installations and replacements —> water heaters (tank and tankless), repipes, fixture upgrades, water treatment.

  • Use Straight Forward Pricing on every call; present options and pricing before work begins, so the customer knows what they're getting and what it costs.

  • Wear floor savers in the home, keep your work area neat, and leave the home as clean as you found it (or cleaner).

  • Test every aspect of the job before leaving — verify it's actually working — to eliminate avoidable callbacks.

  • Explain each service performed so the customer understands what was done and why. Aim for 100% customer satisfaction on every job.

  • Pull permits and complete work to Wisconsin plumbing code (SPS 382/384) under the company's master plumber of record.

  • Maintain a clean, well-organized van — inside and out — and accurate digital records in ServiceTitan.

  • Drive safely. Represent the company professionally — uniformed, on-time, courteous, and respectful of customer property.


What you bring

  • Wisconsin DSPS Journeyman Plumber license (active, in good standing). Required.

  • Valid Wisconsin driver's license with an insurable driving record.

  • 3+ years of hands-on plumbing experience; residential service experience strongly preferred.

  • Comfortable with technology — smartphone, tablet, dispatch software, digital invoicing.

  • Customer-first mindset. You can explain plumbing to a homeowner without making them feel small.

  • Ability to lift 50+ lbs, work in tight crawl spaces and attics, and pass a background check. 


What you get

  • Competitive salary base pay plus performance pay (spiffs and bonuses). 

  • Fully stocked, company van. No more loading and unloading your own truck.

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance. Paid time off. Paid holidays.

  • Ongoing paid training — manufacturer certifications, code updates, and a clear path toward your master plumber credential if that's your goal.

  • Uniforms provided. Tools provided beyond your personal hand tools.

  • Stable, year-round work in a recession-resistant trade.


How to apply

Send your resume and a brief note about your experience. Phone screens within 48 hours of application. Serious inquiries only — Wisconsin journeyman license is required and will be verified through DSPS.
