LICENSED JOURNEYMAN PLUMBER — SERVICE & REPAIR

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Madison

Madison, WI

Full‑Time | W‑2 Employee with benefits | Hiring Bonus — Up To $9,000

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing – "The Punctual Plumber" – is launching in the Madison market and hiring several Wisconsin‑licensed Journeyman Plumbers. You’ll run service calls, drain work, water heaters, repairs, and installations out of a fully stocked company van, backed by a 200+ location national brand’s training, technology, and dispatch systems.

This is a ground‑floor opportunity. You’ll be one of the first technicians on the team, with a real runway to lead tech, foreman, or master‑track development as we scale to a multi‑van operation across Madison, Middleton, Verona, Waunakee, and surrounding Dane County communities.

• Diagnose and repair residential plumbing: 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.
• Test every aspect of the job before leaving — verify it’s actually working — so we don’t generate 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.
• Keep your van — inside and out — clean and well‑organized, and your Service Titan records accurate.
• Drive safely and represent the brand professionally — uniformed, on time, courteous, and respectful of customer property.

• Wisconsin DSPS Journeyman Plumber license, active and in good standing. (Required & verified through DSPS.)
• Valid Wisconsin driver’s license with an insurable driving record.
• 3+ years of hands‑on plumbing experience; residential service experience strongly preferred.
• Comfort with technology — smartphone, tablet, dispatch software, digital invoicing.
• A 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 and drug screen.

Licensed Journeymen are eligible for a hiring bonus of up to $9,000, based on license tenure, residential service experience, and prior performance history. Specific amount and terms reviewed during the interview process and confirmed in your offer letter.

• Competitive pay with structure flexibility. Target range: $40–$54/hr base + performance pay (spiffs and bonuses on completed work), based on experience and license tenure. We’re also open to hybrid hourly + commission, full commission, or salary structures — tell us what fits your career and your life, and we’ll build the offer around it.
• Fully stocked, company van. No more loading and unloading your own truck before and after every shift.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance. Paid time off. Paid holidays.
• Ongoing paid training: manufacturer certifications, Success Academy access, and a clear path toward your master plumber credential if that’s your goal.
• Uniforms provided. Specialty and power tools provided beyond your personal hand tools.
• Stable, year‑round work in a recession‑resistant trade — under a national brand with local ownership.
• No on‑call rotation gimmicks —> clear schedule, fair rotation if/when after‑hours coverage is added.
