Description

The Opportunity

Some people manage projects.

Others build teams that build projects.

We're looking for the second kind.

Alpha Inc. is searching for a Civil Superintendent who leads from the front, earns respect in the field, and refuses to compromise on safety, quality, or execution.

This isn't a role for someone who simply keeps schedules updated. It's for a leader who develops crews, solves problems before they become crises, holds high standards without sacrificing relationships, and takes ownership of every project as if their name is on it.

If you're the type of leader who can walk a jobsite, inspire a crew, earn a client's trust, and deliver exceptional results-all before lunch-we want to meet you.
What You'll Do

As Civil Superintendent, you'll serve as the operational leader in the field-connecting project management with field execution while ensuring every project is delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule, and to Alpha's high standards.
Lead Exceptional Field Operations
  • Direct day-to-day heavy civil construction activities from project startup through completion.
  • Coordinate closely with Project Managers and Foremen to execute work plans and meet production goals.
  • Develop work schedules that maximize manpower, equipment, and resources while adapting to changing field conditions.
  • Monitor project performance and proactively remove obstacles before they impact delivery.
Build High-Performing Teams
  • Recruit, mentor, coach, and develop Foremen and field crews.
  • Create an environment where accountability, growth, and teamwork thrive.
  • Conduct performance evaluations and support hiring, onboarding, coaching, and disciplinary actions when necessary.
  • Build leaders-not just crews.
Champion Safety & Quality
  • Lead by example in enforcing Alpha's safety culture.
  • Conduct safety meetings, training, and field observations.
  • Ensure compliance with company policies, OSHA requirements, and project-specific safety standards.
  • Maintain uncompromising quality throughout every phase of construction.
Drive Operational Excellence
  • Read and interpret plans, specifications, and construction drawings with confidence.
  • Coordinate equipment, subcontractors, materials, and labor to maintain production goals.
  • Review and negotiate change orders while balancing project budgets and client expectations.
  • Identify efficiencies that improve productivity without sacrificing quality.
Build Strong Client Relationships
  • Serve as a trusted representative of Alpha on every jobsite.
  • Communicate professionally with owners, engineers, inspectors, subcontractors, and project stakeholders.
  • Resolve field issues quickly while protecting project schedules and relationships.
Deliver Results
  • Monitor budgets, production, quality, and schedules.
  • Provide timely progress updates to leadership.
  • Keep projects moving forward with proactive planning and decisive leadership.
What You Bring

You don't just supervise projects.

You build teams that consistently outperform expectations.
Experience
  • Minimum five (5) years of progressive experience in heavy civil construction required.
  • Proven experience leading multiple crews and complex civil construction projects.
  • Demonstrated success managing schedules, budgets, productivity, and quality.
  • Experience developing field leaders and high-performing teams.
Education
  • Associate's Degree in Construction Management or related field preferred.
Technical Skills
  • Strong ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, and blueprints.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook).
  • Experience with HCSS HeavyJob preferred.
  • Adobe Acrobat experience preferred.
Leadership Qualities

You naturally:
  • Lead with confidence-not ego.
  • Hold people accountable while earning their respect.
  • Stay calm under pressure.
  • Communicate clearly with crews, clients, and leadership.
  • Solve problems instead of assigning blame.
  • Develop people instead of simply directing them.

Most importantly, you embody Alpha's Core Values every day.
Why Alpha?

You'll join a company that believes great Superintendents deserve more than just another project.

You'll have the opportunity to:
  • Lead meaningful infrastructure projects that improve Hawai?i's communities.
  • Work alongside some of the industry's best field professionals.
  • Develop future leaders while advancing your own career.
  • Join a company where culture isn't a slogan-it's how we operate every day.
  • Build something you'll be proud to drive past for years to come.

At Alpha, leadership isn't measured by title.

It's measured by the people you develop and the results you deliver.
