Plumbing Service and Repair Technician

Join the Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Team

We are looking to hire truly "Remarkable and Outstanding" plumbers to work for an Extraordinary Plumbing Company. If you fit this description, you could qualify for a sign on bonus or relocation assistance.

Benjamin Franklin "The Punctual Plumber" was founded over 20 years ago on the principle of punctuality. The original meaning of punctual described a puncture made by a surgeon. The word has meant a lot of other things through the centuries, usually involving being precise about small points. Being punctual and being extraordinary have a lot in common in that they both require attention to detail and self-discipline. If you are a licensed plumber with at least five years' experience and possess both these traits, then you might be the "Plumber Extraordinaire" we are looking for.
