About The Position

Creature is seeking an Assistant Mechanical Project Manager to lead and manage construction projects across the country. This individual needs to work with a high-level of ownership, be a sharp communicator and problem-solver, and lead projects with excellence from start to finish. You will take ownership and manage multiple projects alongside Creature Superintendents, therefore strong vision and leadership is a non-negotiable. This person will be responsible and accountable for delivering a quality product on schedule and within budget for each project. This person will be held to high standards as they represent the Creature brand and culture

Requirements

• Background in construction management, engineering, architecture, or related field is highly preferred
• Proficiency with the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Office, Outlook)
• Proficiency in reviewing and interpreting architectural plans, drawings, and specifications.
• 1+ year of proven and relevant experience
• Fully embrace Creature's Core Values: Ownership versus Coordination - The more you divide up the tasks, the more coordination is required. The costs increase exponentially, simply because coordinating things is always more expensive than owning things themselves. Taking an accomplishment and making sure it was completed by doing whatever was necessary, regardless of the circumstances.
• Accomplishment over Activity - Sheer activity requires just as much effort with a fraction of the return on accomplishments. Completing work effort, getting a result, getting things done. Your role (job) has nothing to do with activities.
• Compelling Conscientiousness - Quality at any locus in an organization is a function of conscientiousness not, ultimately, of some program or technique. People who are conscientious preclude the errors that lead to poor quality, whether in a product or service. Paying attention to details, seeing something going on, and regardless if it is your job, addressing it, and making it right.
• Mastery of Communication - Competence begins and ends with mastery of the communication process, first for oneself, and then for the complex interdependencies you find yourself in. The ability to drive clarity, closure, and buy-in with a person or group.
• Accountability is reliability - The unwillingness of team members to tolerate the interpersonal discomfort that accompanies calling a peer on his or her behavior and the more general tendency to avoid difficult conversations. Members of great teams overcome these natural inclinations, opting instead to 'enter the danger' with one another. The enemy of accountability is ambiguity. Holding each other and/or our partners to results, calling out when there is a lack of results, and doing whatever it takes to get the result.
