About The Position

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Drill Helper who isn’t afraid of hard work, heavy equipment, mud, sweat, long days, or doing the little things right when nobody is watching. This is not a “stand around and wait to be told twice” kind of job. This is a boots-on-the-ground, hands-on-the-rig, show-up-early, move-with-purpose kind of role. You’ll work directly with the Driller to support water well drilling, rig setup, pipe handling, equipment maintenance, material movement, jobsite cleanup, and the daily grind that keeps drilling operations moving safely and efficiently. If you’re dependable, physically tough, coachable, safety-minded, and ready to build real skills in one of Hawaiʻi’s most essential trades — this could be your shot.
