Chief Operating Officer
About The Position
Alpha Inc. is looking for a Chief Operations Officer who’s not afraid to get dirt on their boots and strategy on their mind in the same day. This isn’t a “sit in the corner office and read reports” kind of role. This is a boots-on-site, eyes-on-every-division, driving-what’s-next-for-Hawaiʻi kind of role. You’ll own the day-to-day operations of Alpha’s core divisions — Civil, Concrete, Energy, Drilling, Crane, Equipment, and future lines of business — and turn complexity into clarity, chaos into coordination, and big bets into real results. If you can move seamlessly from high-level strategy to on-the-ground execution — and you care as much about people and culture as you do about schedules and margins — this might be your next legacy move.
Requirements
- 10+ years of progressive operations leadership in construction, energy, industrial services, or related sectors.
- 5+ years in a senior executive role (COO, VP of Operations, General Manager, or equivalent) overseeing multiple divisions or business units.
- Proven track record leading complex, multi-site operations with significant field and project components.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Engineering, Construction Management, or a related field required.
- Strong strategic and systems thinking — you see the whole chessboard, not just the next move.
- Demonstrated success driving growth, operational efficiency, and margin improvement in a multi-division organization.
- Exceptional leadership and team-building skills; you inspire accountability without ego and model “Lead with Heart” in tough moments.
- High business acumen and comfort with P&L, budgeting, forecasting, and risk management.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with internal teams, field crews, executives, clients, and partners.
- Fluency with project management and financial/accounting software tools.
- Lead with Heart – You elevate people while driving results.
- Strength in Unity – You build strong, aligned teams across divisions.
- Alpha Mentality – You run toward challenges and own outcomes.
