Job Description

Plumbing Foreman

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.

We at Creature realize that to be successful we must have career employees, not
just workers that come and go. If you are an experienced commercial plumber
with strong leadership skills and you like to travel. We need you!

Purpose of the Role
Lead commercial plumbing installations at the highest level of craft, speed, and
accountability. The Plumbing foreman owns their scope and budget, protects
their crew, and drives outcomes that make the next phase possible.

Key Accountabilities
Safety

• Maintain full OSHA and site-specific compliance every shift—pre-task
  plans, hazard ID, and Procore safety documentation completed without
  prompting.
• Proactively identify and escalate unsafe conditions. Never work around
  them.
• Model safety culture for journeyman and apprentices on every project.

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.

Accurate Time & Productivity Tracking

• Log time and production quantities daily in Procore—accurate, on time, no
  catch-up entries.
• Understands the drawings well enough to know the difference between
  planned work and out of scope work. Communicates with Project Manager
  to ensure proper change order tracking.

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 crew, and
  their performance.
• Compelling Conscientiousness — You install it right the first time, every
  time.
• Accountability is Reliability — Your crew and Project Manager 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.

Qualifications
Must-Have

• Journeyman Plumber license
• 5+ years of field experience with commercial project background
• Valid driver’s license; willingness to travel full-time across multi-state
  project locations
• Pre-employment drug screen and background check required

Preferred

• Familiarity with IPC/UPC codes and medical facility plumbing standards
• OSHA 10 certification

Why Creature
Creature is building something rare: a fully integrated platform where the people
who design, manufacture, and build are the same people. If you take pride in
craftsmanship, want to see your work drive real project outcomes, and are ready
to operate in a system built for high performance, this is where you belong.
Competitive wages, guaranteed 40 hours, per diem, travel expense coverage,
health benefits, 401(k) with match, and a performance-based bonus program.
