Job summary

Creature is hiring a Journeyman Plumber for commercial installations across multi-state projects. You will own your scope, uphold safety standards, and drive productive outcomes on-site with self-perform teams.

Expect constant field activity, precise logging in Procore, and collaboration with prefab/modular delivery methods. Travel is required, and a strong commitment to quality and safety will be rewarded with competitive wages, per diem, travel expense coverage, health benefits, and a 401(k)

Qualifications

• Journeyman Plumber license.
• 5+ years of field experience with commercial project background.
• Proficiency in Procore for time tracking, production logging, and safety documentation.
• Valid driver’s license; willingness to travel full-time across multi-state project locations.
• Pre-employment drug screen and background check required.
• Experience with prefab and modular plumbing installation methods.
• Familiarity with IPC/UPC codes and medical facility plumbing standards.
• OSHA 10 certification.

Responsibilities

• Maintain full OSHA and site-specific compliance every shift—pre-task plans, hazard ID, and Procore safety documentation completed without prompting.
• Proactively identify and elevate unsafe conditions. Never work around them.
• Model safety culture for apprentices and crew members on every project.
• Execute installations with the manpower, materials, and tools required—no more, no less. Flag gaps before they stall the work.
• Manage daily material consumption and tool accountability. Shortages and damage reported same shift.
• Support prefab and modular delivery methods to maximize off-site productivity and reduce on-site complexity.
• Log time and production quantities daily in Procore—accurate, on time, no catch-up entries.
• Flag variances between planned and actual production before they compound. Give your Foreman facts, not estimates.
• Challenge inefficient sequences, poor staging, and unnecessary motion before they consume production hours.
• Reduce rework to zero through precise installation and self-checking before calling for inspection.
• Surface constraints—material holds, coordination gaps, inspection delays—as soon as they appear, not after they cost time.
• Ownership Mentality — You own your scope, your tools, your data, and your performance.
• Compelling Conscientiousness — You install it right the first time, every time.
• Accountability is Reliability — Your crew and Foreman can count on what you say you’ll do.
• Mastery of Communication — You surface problems early, clearly, and with context.
• Accomplishment over Activity — You measure yourself by production output, not hours on site.

Journeyman Plumber

Creature Birmingham, AL Full-Time Travel Required

About Creature

Creature is a vertically integrated Design–Manufacture–Construct (DMC) company built to eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional construction. We design, manufacture, and build as one team—leveraging self-perform trades, modular methodologies, and disciplined field execution to deliver projects that are faster, higher quality, and lower cost. We believe our best work happens when it’s self-performed—and our plumbing crews are proof of that.

Purpose of the Role

Execute commercial plumbing installations at the highest level of craft, speed, and accountability. The Journeyman Plumber owns their scope, protects their site, and drives outcomes that make the next phase possible.

Key Accountabilities

• Maintain full OSHA and site-specific compliance every shift—pre-task plans, hazard ID, and Procore safety documentation completed without prompting.
• Proactively identify and elevate unsafe conditions. Never work around them.

Labor, Material & Tool Management Efficiency

• Execute installations with the manpower, materials, and tools required—no more, no less. Flag gaps before they stall the work.
• Manage daily material consumption and tool accountability. Shortages and damage reported same shift.
• Support prefab and modular delivery methods to maximize off-site productivity and reduce on-site complexity.

Accurate Time & Productivity Tracking

• Log time and production quantities daily in Procore—accurate, on time, no catch-up entries.
• Flag variances between planned and actual production before they compound. Give your Foreman facts, not estimates.

Ruthless Elimination of Waste

• Challenge inefficient sequences, poor staging, and unnecessary motion before they consume production hours.
• Reduce rework to zero through precise installation and self-checking before calling for inspection.
• Surface constraints—material holds, coordination gaps, inspection delays—as soon as they appear, not after they cost time.

Traits That Define Success

• Ownership Mentality — You own your scope, your tools, your data, and your performance.
• Compelling Conscientiousness — You install it right the first time, every time.
• Accountability is Reliability — Your crew and Foreman can count on what you say you’ll do.
• Mastery of Communication — You surface problems early, clearly, and with context.
• Accomplishment over Activity — You measure yourself by production output, not hours on site.
