Carpenter

About the role

This isn't a "show up and swing a hammer" kind of role. This is where precision meets pride. Where layouts aren't guesses - they're exact. Where your work becomes the literal foundation everything else depends on. At Alpha Inc., our Journeyman Carpenters don't just build forms - they build the backbone of Hawaiʻi's infrastructure. If you take ownership of your craft, move with purpose, and refuse to cut corners, keep reading. About Alpha Inc. Born and built in Hawaiʻi, Alpha Inc. is a leader in heavy civil construction, concrete, renewable energy, drilling, and infrastructure solutions. What we build today will serve island communities for generations. We operate by three core values: Lead with Heart - Respect the crew. Respect the craft. Strength in Unity - No egos. Just execution. Alpha Mentality - Own it. Improve it. Deliver it. If that sounds like how you already work - you'll fit right in.

Responsibilities

• You are the difference between "good enough" and "dead-on."
• You'll take plans and turn them into reality - clean, square, level, and built to spec the first time.
• Execute precise layout for foundations, walls, and structural systems
• Use levels, string lines, lasers, and transits like second nature
• Ensure everything is square, plumb, and dialed - no exceptions
• Catch mistakes early and fix them before they cost time or money
• Read and interpret rebar, foundation, and structural plans with confidence
• Set and maintain batter boards and layout reference points
• Calculate and transfer elevations accurately across the jobsite
• Support forming, framing, bracing, and stripping for concrete work
• Stage materials efficiently - waste is not part of the plan
• Work side-by-side with crews across trades to hit deadlines and deliver quality
• Maintain tools, uphold safety standards, and keep the site tight
• This role demands accuracy, awareness, and accountability - every single day.
• What You Bring
• You're not entry-level. You've been in the field, you know the pace, and you understand what's at stake when things aren't done right.
• Experience & Skillset:
• Hands-on carpentry experience in concrete, foundations, framing, or related work
• Strong layout ability with real-world jobsite application
• Solid understanding of measurements, elevations, and construction math
• Ability to read and execute from plans and technical drawings
• Familiarity with rebar placement, spacing, and structural coordination
• Confidence using layout tools (laser levels, transits, etc.)
• Physically capable of handling demanding field conditions
• Mindset:
• You don't wait to be told - you anticipate
• You take pride in getting it right the first time
• You communicate clearly and work like part of a crew, not above it
• You respect safety because you respect the people around you
• Why Alpha?
• Because here, your work actually matters.
• You'll be part of projects that shape Hawaiʻi's future - not just another jobsite. You'll work with crews that push each other to be better. And you'll be part of a company that backs its people, not just its projects.
• Benefits & Perks
• Benefits eligibility may vary based on role and employment status.
• Requirements (Conditions of Employment)
