About the role
Alpha Inc. is looking for a Field Project Engineer who knows concrete work does not run on guesswork, excuses, or back-office theory. This is not a clipboard-only role. This is a boots-on-the-ground, details-matter, solve-it-before-it-becomes-a-problem kind of role. You will be in the field helping drive concrete operations forward - coordinating work, tracking production, supporting quality, solving issues in real time, and making sure crews, subcontractors, and project leadership stay aligned from pre-pour planning to closeout. If you can read the plans, anticipate the miss, communicate clearly, and keep work moving without losing sight of safety, quality, or accountability - keep reading. 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.

Everything we do is grounded in our core values: Leading with Heart - We create a supportive and respectful environment where crews, subcontractors, and project teams can perform at their best. Strength in Unity - We believe strong communication and collaboration win jobs. Alpha Mentality - We bring excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement to every phase of the work. As Field Project Engineer, you will help bring those values to life in the field every day.
