This is not a desk-bound role. And it’s not for someone who just “keeps the trains running.” This is a senior leadership seat for an operator who can own civil construction operations end-to-end — from strategic planning to boots-on-the-ground execution — while developing leaders, protecting margins, and raising the bar across every jobsite. If you can command a room of superintendents and project managers, earn trust in the field, speak fluently in schedules and budgets, and still lead with humility and heart — you’ll thrive here. About Alpha Inc. Founded and grown in Hawaiʻi, Alpha Inc. is a locally owned leader in heavy civil construction, renewable energy, concrete services, drilling, and infrastructure solutions. We’re building projects that will serve island communities for generations — with precision, purpose, and pride. Our work is guided by three core values that are non-negotiable: Lead with Heart – We treat people right, especially when it’s hard. Strength in Unity – One team, many talents. No silos. Alpha Mentality – Accountability, grit, and a relentless drive to improve. As Civil Operations Manager, you’ll be a culture carrier for these values across every civil project and team.

Drive Project Execution Excellence Oversee planning and execution from preconstruction through closeout. Ensure projects meet or exceed safety, quality, schedule, and profitability targets. Anticipate challenges early and remove obstacles before they impact delivery. Own Resources, Budgets & Performance Allocate manpower, equipment, and materials strategically across jobsites. Monitor budgets, cost controls, and revenue performance; take decisive action when targets are at risk. Partner with estimators and project managers to improve forecasting, margins, and execution consistency. Build & Develop High-Performing Teams Lead, mentor, and develop Project Managers, Superintendents, Estimators, and field leaders. Set clear expectations, coach performance, and build a strong leadership bench. Foster accountability without ego and performance without burnout.
