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

• Pre-employment drug screen and background check required

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
