About The Position

Alpha Inc. isn’t looking for a “check-the-box” trainer. We’re looking for a culture builder. A systems thinker. A talent accelerator. Someone who believes training isn’t an event — it’s a competitive advantage. As our Learning & Development Specialist, you’ll help architect how our people grow — from new hires stepping onto their first jobsite to emerging leaders preparing for their next big move. You’ll turn development into momentum. Ideas into programs. Feedback into measurable growth. If you get fired up about unlocking potential, building leadership pipelines, and designing learning that actually sticks — this is your arena. Founded and grown in Hawaiʻi, Alpha Inc. is a locally owned leader in heavy civil construction, renewable energy, concrete services, drilling, crane operations, and infrastructure solutions. We build what matters — for communities that matter. And we live by three core values that shape everything we do: Lead with Heart – We prioritize empathy, care, and genuine employee support. Strength in Unity – We win as one team, across crews and departments. Alpha Mentality – We pursue excellence relentlessly and own the outcome. As Learning & Development Specialist, you won’t just support these values — you’ll help embed them into how our people grow. This role supports the planning, execution, and evaluation of learning and development programs that enhance employee skills, career growth, and leadership capabilities .
