At Hero Johns, we believe the same discipline, precision, and leadership that defined your military service are exactly what it takes to build and run a successful business. As the nation's first veteran-owned portable sanitation franchise, we're building a pipeline of opportunity for veterans who are ready to trade one mission for another — this time, as owners, operators, and leaders in a growing $4 billion industry.
If you're a veteran looking for a role with real structure, real ownership potential, and a team that understands where you came from, you've found the right place.
Mission-Driven Culture. Every Hero Johns location is built by veterans, for veterans. You won't have to explain your background here — we already speak the language of discipline, accountability, and getting the job done right.
Structured Career Pathways. From field technician to route supervisor to franchise owner, Hero Johns offers a clear chain of advancement for people who show up, do the work, and lead.
Equipment-Trained, Mission-Ready. Our fleet runs on modern, purpose-built technology — including NEUROFY smart unit hubs with GPS tracking, occupancy sensors, and solar power — so you're operating with the same precision and technology standards you're used to.
A Growing National Brand. Hero Johns is scaling toward 500+ locations nationwide. Getting in early means growing your career alongside the company.
Connected to the Veteran Community. We work directly with TAP, SkillBridge, VA Vocational Rehabilitation, VBOCs, and organizations like the Gary Sinise Foundation, DAV, USO, Wounded Warrior Project, and Student Veterans of America — so your transition support doesn't stop once you're hired.
We're looking for veterans who bring:
Field Service Technicians Deliver, service, and maintain portable restroom units, restroom trailers, and septic equipment. Entry point for veterans new to the industry, with hands-on training provided.
Route & Fleet Supervisors Manage daily routes, technician teams, and equipment logistics using our mobile driver app and real-time fleet visibility tools.
Franchise Operators & Owners For veterans ready to build their own business under the Hero Johns banner — from Bronze (10-unit) territories to Platinum (50+ unit) operations with full septic service capability. Franchise packages include equipment, training, technology, and brand support from day one.
Corporate & Support Roles Sales, customer service, logistics coordination, and administrative roles supporting franchise growth nationwide.
Ready to bring your skills to a company built on the same values you served with?
Veterans, transitioning service members, and military spouses are strongly encouraged to apply. Hero Johns is proud to be a Veteran-Owned company committed to hiring the next generation of American veteran entrepreneurs.
