The Opportunity


You're not looking for a job where you spend your day updating spreadsheets from a cubicle.


You want to be where the action is.


Where plans become highways. Where drawings become infrastructure. Where every project leaves a lasting impact on the communities you call home.


At Alpha Inc., Project Engineers don't just support projects—they become future Project Managers, Builders, and Leaders.

If you're hungry to learn, eager to own your work, and ready to develop into one of Hawai?i's next generation of construction leaders, keep reading.


Who We Are

Alpha Inc. is one of Hawai?i's leading heavy civil construction, drilling, renewable energy, concrete, crane, and infrastructure companies.


We're building the roads people drive every day.
The renewable energy systems powering tomorrow.
The infrastructure our islands depend on.


More importantly...

We're building careers.

Everything we do is guided by three core values:


Lead with Heart

We care about our people first. Safety, respect, humility, and doing the right thing always come before profits.

Strength in Unity

The best projects happen when great people work together. We believe collaboration beats ego every single time.

Alpha Mentality

We attack challenges, own our outcomes, solve problems, and constantly look for better ways to build.

If these values sound like the kind of team you want to be part of—you'll fit right in.


What You'll Do

This is not an "assistant" role.

This is your launch pad into project leadership.

You'll work alongside experienced Project Managers, Superintendents, and Foremen while gaining hands-on experience managing every phase of heavy civil construction.

You'll help drive successful projects by:

Own the Details

  • Prepare RFIs, submittals, procurement logs, and project documentation.
  • Maintain organized project files, drawings, specifications, and as-built records.
  • Track permits, invoices, material deliveries, equipment usage, labor hours, and project reporting.

Be in the Field

  • Conduct regular site walks with Foremen and Superintendents.
  • Understand field operations firsthand.
  • Verify project progress.
  • Support pre-task planning and daily coordination.

Keep Projects Moving

  • Coordinate between field crews, office staff, vendors, subcontractors, consultants, inspectors, owners, and clients.
  • Support schedule tracking, forecasting, budgeting, and cost reporting.
  • Assist with scope changes, RFIs, change orders, and project documentation.

Champion Safety & Quality

  • Support daily safety planning and project execution.
  • Participate in JHA/AHA planning and field walkthroughs.
  • Help ensure work is completed safely, efficiently, and to Alpha's high standards.

Grow Into Leadership

As your experience grows, so will your responsibilities.

You'll begin owning scopes of work, leading coordination efforts, mentoring newer team members, and preparing for future Project Management opportunities.

Who You Are

You're naturally curious.

You ask questions.

You solve problems before someone asks.

You like seeing your work turn into something tangible.

You enjoy balancing office coordination with time in the field.

Most importantly…

You want a career—not just a paycheck.

What You Bring

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or equivalent education and experience.
  • 0–3 years of construction or project engineering experience preferred.
  • Ability to read and interpret construction plans, specifications, and project documents.

  • Effective written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office.
  • Willingness to learn HCSS, Bluebeam, and other company systems.
  • Ability to work in both office and active construction environments.
  • Strong commitment to safety, teamwork, and accountability.

Bonus Points

  • Internship experience in heavy civil construction.
  • Experience with project management software.
  • Familiarity with scheduling or cost tracking.
  • Field experience working with contractors or construction crews.

Why Alpha?

Because we invest in people who invest in themselves.

You'll gain exposure to projects that many engineers won't see until years into their careers.

You'll learn directly from experienced builders.

You'll be trusted with meaningful responsibilities.

You'll have opportunities to grow into Project Manager and senior leadership roles.

If you're ambitious, we'll match your ambition.
