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 electrical crews are proof of that.

Purpose of the Role

Lead Creature's electrical scope on complex commercial projects from mobilization through final inspection. The Electrical Superintendent owns execution-safety, schedule, quality, resources, and margin-and holds the standard for every electrician on site.

Core Accountability

Own the full electrical scope on assigned projects: safe execution, on-schedule delivery, resource efficiency, subcontractor alignment, and gross margin protection-without requiring escalation to resolve what should be solved in the field.

Key Accountabilities

Safety, Schedule, Contract Deliverables, ICRA & Quality

• Partner with the Construction Superintendent to enforce safety standards, pre-task planning, and ICRA compliance on every active healthcare project.
• Own the electrical schedule: maintain look-aheads, identify constraints early, and drive recovery plans before delays compound.
• Ensure all electrical installations meet code, contract specifications, and Creature quality standards-inspections pass the first time.
• Hold subcontractors to the same schedule and quality bar as Creature self-perform crews.

Seamless Ownership of Resources

• Own material procurement decisions for the electrical scope-right quantities, right time, no overages and no shortages that stall the job.
• Manage tool inventory and deployment across the project: staged, accounted for, and ready before each phase begins.
• Coordinate subcontractor mobilization, sequencing, and scope alignment to eliminate gaps and overlaps in the field.
• Forecast labor and material needs on a rolling basis and communicate gaps to the PM before they become schedule risks.

Productivity & Efficiency of Creature Trades

• Drive daily production performance across all Creature electrical crews-set expectations, track output, and remove constraints before they cost hours.
• Use Procore to monitor crew-level productivity, identify underperformance early, and present data-backed assessments to project leadership.
• Coach Foremen and Journeymen on sequencing, staging, and waste elimination. Raise the floor on every project.
• Identify and implement field improvements that reduce labor hours, rework, and material waste.

Gross Margin

• Understand the project budget and your electrical scope's contribution to it. Make buying decisions with that context.
• Track cost against plan and flag variances before they become unrecoverable. Own the explanation and the corrective action.
• Eliminate rework, over-ordering, and inefficient labor deployment-every one of these is a margin problem.
• Partner with the PM to ensure change orders are captured, priced, and processed before scope creep erodes the job.

Traits That Define Success

• Ownership Mentality - You own the outcome of the electrical scope, not just the activity within it.
• Compelling Conscientiousness - You track the details that protect schedule, quality, and margin.
• Accountability is Reliability - Your PM and crew know what to expect from you and get it.
• Mastery of Communication - You surface problems with context and a plan, not just a flag.
• Accomplishment over Activity - You measure success by project outcomes, not hours worked.

Qualifications

Must-Have

• Master Electrician license
• 10+ years in the electrical trade
• 2-3 years of Superintendent-level experience on commercial projects
• Advanced proficiency in Excel for productivity tracking, cost monitoring, and field reporting

Preferred

• Demonstrated career progression from Journeyman through Foreman to Superintendent
• Healthcare facility experience (ICRA compliance, medical-grade electrical systems)
• Experience with prefab and modular electrical installation methods
• Proficiency in Procore for project documentation, scheduling, and reporting
• OSHA 30 certification
