LICENSED JOURNEYMAN PLUMBER — SERVICE & REPAIR Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Madison servicing west Madison, WI region • Full-Time • W-2 Employee with benefits HIRING BONUS — UP TO $9,000 BRAND NEW RAM PROMASTER 2500 HIGH ROOF as your work van
———————————————————————— ABOUT THE ROLE
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing - "The Punctual Plumber" - is launching in the Madison market and hiring several 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.
WHAT YOU GET
• Competitive pay with structure flexibility + 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 Madison WI ownership.
HIRING BONUS — UP TO $9,000
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. Minimum $3k bonus.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
• 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.
WHAT YOU BRING • Valid Wisconsin driver's license with an insurable driving record. • 3+ years of hands-on plumbing experience; residential service experience strongly preferred. • A customer-first mindset. You can explain plumbing to a homeowner without making them feel small

———————————————————————— A NOTE FROM THE OWNER
I'm Anthony Richards. Here's where I come from.
My grandfather owned a construction company. My dad ran a building supply store. My uncle owned a roofing company. From about age twelve on, I worked for all three of them; sweeping floors, loading trucks, riding out to job sites, tearing shingles off roof jobs, and learning what work actually looks like when someone's paying for it. That's the world I grew up in.
I left the trades for a while and built a career in tech —> Fortune 500, large non-profits, Google-Ventures backed startups, and more.
I chose Benjamin Franklin Plumbing because the brand's systems work: Straight Forward Pricing, ServiceTitan, the on-time guarantee, the training programs. I didn't want to spend three years figuring out things that 200+ other locations have already solved. I wanted to spend that time building a team I'd be proud to send into a customer's home.
I'm not trying to be the biggest plumbing company in Madison. I'm trying to be the one techs want to work at and homeowners want to call back.
I don't want you to wake up dreading to go to work. Let's have some fun.
If that's you, let's talk.
