What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Engineer position at Creature?
Construction Engineer
Build the future of building.
Creature is developing an integrated platform to transform how buildings are designed, manufactured, and assembled. As a Construction Engineer, you will serve as a critical link between our manufacturing operations and field execution—ensuring that every prefabricated component we produce is optimized for precision, scalability, and seamless installation.
This role is ideal for a detail-driven engineer with a manufacturing mindset—especially from aviation, precision assembly, or other industrial environments—who wants to apply those standards to the built environment.
What You’ll Do
Bridge Design & Build
- Translate design intent into field-ready processes by coordinating across manufacturing, field, and project delivery teams.
Optimize Processes
- Develop, document, and continuously improve work instructions and standard operating procedures for modular construction workflows.
Advance Prefabrication
- Support engineering strategies for prefabricated systems (walls, MEP assemblies, etc.) and drive manufacturability throughout the design-build cycle.
Support Production Systems
- Use Procore, PowerBI, and cost/quantity tracking to monitor production health, install rates, and productivity metrics.
Run the Field Feedback Loop
- Partner with install teams and superintendents to surface real-world constraints and implement upstream improvements.
Drive Lean Principles
- Identify waste, propose countermeasures, and contribute to Creature’s evolving modular playbook.
What You Bring
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial, Mechanical, or Operations Engineering
- 1–3 years in a manufacturing or precision assembly environment (aviation preferred)
- Familiarity with CAD, Revit, Procore, or equivalent digital tools
- Ability to read and interpret construction drawings and shop documentation
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
- Comfort with iteration, feedback, and fast-moving systems
Who Thrives Here
- A systems thinker who sees connections between design, process, and build
- Someone who prefers solving upstream over firefighting downstream
- A communicator who values clarity, accountability, and iteration
- An engineer who wants to help build a platform—not just a project
Why Creature
Creature is collapsing the traditional silos of architecture, engineering, and construction into a unified Design–Manufacture–Construct platform. We’re here to deliver better buildings, faster—and create a workplace defined by craft, clarity, and growth.
If you’re ready to help reimagine how things get built, we’d love to meet you.
