Job description

Build Something Better with Creature

Creature is a vertically integrated design-build firm transforming how healthcare and complex facilities are delivered. Through our Design–Manufacture–Construct (DMC) platform, we self-perform core trades (MEP + Carpentry) and eliminate the waste, handoffs, and inefficiencies of traditional construction.

We’re looking for a Traveling Superintendent of Construction who wants more than a traditional superintendent role — someone who thrives on ownership, field leadership, and building projects the right way.

The Role

As a Superintendent at Creature, you are the primary field leader responsible for safety, schedule, quality, and execution across the entire site. You’ll lead integrated trade teams, drive disciplined planning, and deliver projects faster and better by optimizing the whole system, not individual scopes.

This is a hands‑on, traveling role for leaders who are comfortable making decisions, solving problems in real time, and holding a high bar for performance.

What You’ll Do

• Lead safe, high-performing jobsites with zero tolerance for unsafe work.


• Manage all field construction activities from preconstruction through closeout.


• Coordinate integrated trade teams (MEP + Carpentry) and subcontractors.


• Drive short-interval planning, look-ahead schedules, and daily production tracking.


• 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.

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 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


• Opportunity to break the status quo and build projects better


• Clear ownership, authority, and accountability in the field

Creature is an equal opportunity employer. We value builders who take ownership, think systemically, and lead from the field.
