Veteran-Owned | Minneapolis West Metro | Responsibilities + Comp Structured for Fit

Join the Team. Help Build the Company.

Lucky Dog Sewer & Drain is a Marine Corps veteran-owned plumbing, sewer, and drain company serving the Twin Cities and West Metro.

We're looking for an experienced Minnesota Master Plumber who wants something different from the typical plumbing job.

We're flexible.

If you want a full-time field position, we can build that role.

If you're an experienced master who wants to work fewer hours while helping supervise, mentor, train, and support a growing plumbing operation, we're open to that too.

For the right person, we're willing to structure the position around your experience, availability, and what you actually want the next stage of your career to look like.

We're a small, growing company with a goal of building a team people want to be a part of. You'll work directly with the owner, influence how we operate, and help shape our culture as we grow.

What We Offer

• Flexible full-time or part-time structure
• Competitive compensation based on role, hours, and responsibilities
• Flexible schedule for the right candidate
• Company vehicle and fuel provided for full-time field roles
• No sales quotas or commission pressure
• No mandatory weekend or holiday shifts
• Opportunity to help select tools, equipment, and operating standards
• Leadership role in developing our plumbing operation
• Help mentor and develop our licensed journeyman plumber
• Input into future plumber hiring and training
• Retention incentives available
• PTO and holiday pay for eligible full-time employees
• Work directly with the owner
• Significant opportunity as the company grows

The Role Can Be Built Around You

We recognize that experienced master plumbers aren't all looking for the same thing.

We're open to several structures, including:

• Full-time Master Plumber
• Part-time Master Plumber
• Working Master / Responsible Individual
• A leadership-focused role combining field work, training, supervision, permitting, inspections, and quality control

Maybe you're running your own small shop and are tired of handling everything yourself.

Maybe you've spent decades in the trade and don't want to work 40–50 hours in the field anymore.

Maybe you're looking for a company where you can help build something rather than simply being handed another service schedule.

We're willing to have that conversation.

What You'll Do

Responsibilities will depend on how we structure the position, but may include:

• Serve as Lucky Dog's Master Plumber and Responsible Individual
• Perform and/or oversee residential and light commercial plumbing work
• Support permitting, inspections, and code compliance
• Provide technical leadership on complex plumbing jobs
• Mentor and develop our journeyman plumber and technicians
• Establish workmanship and quality-control standards
• Help evaluate plumbing jobs and scopes of work
• Help develop procedures and best practices as the company grows
• Assist with hiring and training future plumbers
• Represent Lucky Dog professionally with customers, inspectors, contractors, and property managers

Qualifications

• Current Minnesota Master Plumber license required or abilty to obtain/reactivate one promptly
• Willingness to serve as the Responsible Individual strongly preferred
• Minneapolis and/or St. Paul competency card(s) preferred
• Strong knowledge of Minnesota plumbing code and permitting requirements
• Residential and/or light commercial plumbing experience
• High workmanship standards and integrity
• Professional communication and customer service skills
• Ability to mentor and develop other tradespeople
• Reliable, accountable, and comfortable working in a growing small business
• Valid driver's license for field-based roles

Experience as a foreman, service manager, plumbing contractor, business owner, or Responsible Individual is valuable but not required.

About Lucky Dog

Our mission is simple: deliver honest recommendations, transparent pricing, and quality workmanship while treating every customer like we'd treat our neighbor.

Our technicians are not paid commissions and aren't expected to hit sales quotas. We want our plumbers focused on diagnosing problems correctly, educating customers, and doing work they're proud to put their name on.

We're building the company deliberately, and we're looking for a master plumber who wants to have a real voice in what that company becomes.

We're not looking for a license to put on the wall. We're looking for a master plumber who wants to be part of the team.

If you're interested but aren't sure a traditional full-time plumbing position fits what you're looking for, reach out anyway. We're willing to build the right role around the right person.

Veterans are highly encouraged to apply.
