Proficiency in reviewing and interpreting architectural plans, drawings, and specifications.
1+ year of proven and relevant experience
Fully embrace Creature's Core Values:
Ownership versus Coordination - The more you divide up the tasks, the more coordination is required. The costs increase exponentially, simply because coordinating things is always more expensive than owning things themselves. Taking an accomplishment and making sure it was completed by doing whatever was necessary, regardless of the circumstances.
Accomplishment over Activity - Sheer activity requires just as much effort with a fraction of the return on accomplishments. Completing work effort, getting a result, getting things done. Your role (job) has nothing to do with activities.
Compelling Conscientiousness - Quality at any locus in an organization is a function of conscientiousness not, ultimately, of some program or technique. People who are conscientious preclude the errors that lead to poor quality, whether in a product or service. Paying attention to details, seeing something going on, and regardless if it is your job, addressing it, and making it right.
Mastery of Communication - Competence begins and ends with mastery of the communication process, first for oneself, and then for the complex interdependencies you find yourself in. The ability to drive clarity, closure, and buy-in with a person or group.
Accountability is reliability - The unwillingness of team members to tolerate the interpersonal discomfort that accompanies calling a peer on his or her behavior and the more general tendency to avoid difficult conversations. Members of great teams overcome these natural inclinations, opting instead to 'enter the danger' with one another. The enemy of accountability is ambiguity. Holding each other and/or our partners to results, calling out when there is a lack of results, and doing whatever it takes to get the result.

Use Creature's Production System to improve flow, speed, and quality.
Conduct daily site walks focused on readiness, safety, and quality.
Ensure work complies with drawings, codes, and healthcare standards.
Lead inspections, punch management, commissioning, and turnover.
Travel regularly to support projects across the Southeast and U.S.
What Success Looks Like
Safe jobsites with strong field culture and accountability.
Predictable schedules with minimal rework and downtime.
Trades working in sequence, not in conflict.
Projects delivered faster, cleaner, and with higher quality than traditional benchmarks.

10+ years of construction field leadership experience.
Proven success leading complex or healthcare projects.
Strong understanding of construction sequencing, codes, and inspections.
Ability to read and execute from drawings and specifications.
Willingness to travel extensively.
Ability to pass a background screen and a drug test.
Preferred
Experience in self-perform or vertically integrated environments.
Familiarity with lean construction, production systems, or TAKT planning.
Experience with modular, prefabricated, or adaptive reuse projects.
Why Creature
Competitive pay + performance-based bonus
Full benefits package
Work with integrated trade teams you can actually lead
