About Creature

Creature is a builder that self-performs core trades and leads projects from the ground up. We invest in craftsmanship, field leadership, and disciplined execution - not layers of subcontracting.

Creature is a vertically integrated builder committed to redefining construction through self-perform execution, craftsmanship, and field leadership. We deliver complex projects by owning scope, developing trade talent, and eliminating coordination waste. Our teams take pride in building with precision, planning with clarity, and finishing with excellence.

The Assistant Superintendent ensures daily field operations are safe, productive, and aligned with schedule and quality standards.

  • Conduct daily site walks to verify work quality, safety, and progress against plan.
  • Manage daily documentation through photos, reports, and production tracking tools.
  • Support project setup including schedules, procurement logs, and subcontractor onboarding.
  • Assist with daily huddles, weekly coordination meetings, and look-ahead planning.
  • Identify and escalate field risks, scope conflicts, or schedule impacts.
  • Ensure installation aligns with plans, specifications, and safety standards.
  • Collaborate with Project Manager to maintain clear communication with clients and internal teams.

Preferred
  • Experience with self-perform trades (carpentry, electrical, plumbing, HVAC).
