About The Position

This is not a “babysit the jobsite” superintendent role. Alpha Inc. is looking for a Civil Superintendent who can take full ownership of complex civil projects on Kauaʻi—from planning through punch list—and deliver them with discipline, pride, and precision. You’ll be the field leader: setting the tone for safety, quality, productivity, and culture on your projects. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Foremen, Project Managers, and crews to turn plans into reality—while protecting people, schedules, and margins. If you’re the kind of superintendent who commands respect without ego, thrives in the field, and believes great projects are built by great teams—this is your seat. About Alpha Inc. Alpha Inc. is a Hawaiʻi-owned leader in heavy civil construction, renewable energy, concrete services, drilling, and infrastructure solutions. We build work that lasts—projects that serve island communities for generations. Everything we do is anchored by three core values: Lead with Heart — Respect people. Protect crews. Do the right thing, even when it’s hard. Strength in Unity — One crew, one mission. We win together. Alpha Mentality — High standards, strong accountability, relentless execution. As a Civil Superintendent, you are one of the most visible carriers of these values—on every jobsite, every day.
