You Don't Just Run Jobsites. You Set the Pace.

Some people supervise work.

You lead production. You develop people. You solve problems before anyone else sees them coming.

At Alpha Inc., we're looking for a Civil Superintendentwho thrives in the field, leads with confidence, and knows that great projects are built by great teams. You'll oversee multiple crews, coordinate complex operations, and help deliver the infrastructure that keeps Hawai?i moving.

It's for someone who shows up every day ready to own the outcome.

At Alpha, we're building more than roads, utilities, renewable energy systems, and infrastructure.

We're building careers, communities, and a legacy throughout Hawai’i.

Our success is driven by three core values that guide every decision we make:

Lead with Heart

Safety isn't just a policy—it's a promise. We believe great leaders care about people first while holding everyone to high standards.

Strength in Unity

The best projects happen when Foremen, operators, laborers, engineers, project managers, vendors, and clients work as one team.

We attack challenges, solve problems before they become delays, and never settle for "good enough."

If those values sound like the way you already lead...

You'll fit right in.
