Civil - Heavy Equipment Operator

• Base Pay $45.00 - $50.00 / Hour
• Job Category Civil
• Employee Type FT - Regular (Non Exempt)

At Alpha Inc., we don’t just run equipment —
we shape the land Hawai'i depends on
.

We’re looking for elite Excavator and Loader Operators who treat iron like an extension of themselves. Operators who understand grade, production, safety, and teamwork — and who take pride in doing things right the first time.

If you’re the kind of operator who:

• Can read a set of plans and already see the finished product
• Respects the machine, the crew, and the schedule
• Shows up ready, dialed in, and accountable

Then you’ll fit right in here.

Born and built in Hawai'i,
Alpha Inc. is a locally owned leader in heavy civil construction, infrastructure, renewable energy, concrete, drilling, and specialty services.

We don’t just build projects —
we build trust, careers, and long-term impact for island communities.

Everything we do is anchored in our core values:

• Lead with Heart
  – Respect the crew. Protect the people. Do the right thing.
• Strength in Unity
  – One team, one plan, one standard.
• Alpha Mentality
  – Take ownership. Push for better. Never coast.

We’re not looking for operators who just want hours. We’re looking for operators who want pride, consistency, and a future
.

As a Heavy Equipment Operator at Alpha, you’ll be trusted to run major iron on meaningful projects across the Hawai'i Island.

You will:

• Operate excavators and loaders for mass excavation, trenching, grading, and site development
• Perform precision grading and material placement to spec — not “close enough”
• Work on prevailing wage projects with professional crews and strong leadership
• Use GPS systems (Trimble Earthworks preferred) to execute accurate, efficient cuts and fills
• Conduct daily equipment inspections and operate machinery safely and responsibly
• Coordinate closely with Foremen and crew to keep production moving
• Read and interpret plans, grades, and stakes without hand-holding
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized jobsite

This is hands‑on, production‑driven work — and your skill directly impacts the success of the project
.

We’re not training from zero. We’re leveling up professionals.

• Minimum 3+ years operating heavy equipment in civil or mass excavation environments
• Strong proficiency with excavators and/or loaders
• Solid understanding of grading, trenching, and site prep
• Ability to work safely, efficiently, and independently
• Strong communication and teamwork mindset

• Valid CDL with a clean driving record
• Experience on prevailing wage or public works projects

Because here,
operators aren’t just hands on the controls — they’re craftsmen.

• Crews who respect skill, safety, and production
• Foremen and leadership who know the work and back the field
• Prevailing wage projects that matter to Hawai'i’s infrastructure
• Well‑maintained equipment and standards that don’t cut corners
• A company where values aren’t slogans — they’re lived on every jobsite

If you want to run iron with purpose, be trusted to do the job right, and be part of a team that builds with pride and integrity —
you’ll feel at home at Alpha.
