The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Civil Estimator who knows how to find the opportunity, dissect the details, price the risk, and build a bid designed to win.

This isn’t a role for someone who simply plugs quantities into a spreadsheet and waits for bid day.

We’re looking for an estimator who understands heavy civil construction, knows how to read between the lines of plans and specifications, catches scope gaps before they become margin killers, and can turn a mountain of information into a precise, competitive proposal.

You’ll work across private- and public-sector opportunities, analyzing plans, specifications, soil reports, schedules, subcontractor coverage, production constraints, and risk. You’ll also help identify what’s coming next—because great estimators don’t just price the work in front of them; they help build the pipeline behind it.

If you know Heavy Bid and Heavy Job
, have several years of real construction-estimating experience, and take pride in submitting numbers you can defend when the pressure is on, we want to talk.

About Alpha Inc.

Alpha Inc. is a locally owned Hawai?i company delivering heavy civil construction, drilling, renewable energy, concrete, and infrastructure solutions across the islands.

Alpha’s Civil team performs work ranging from land clearing, mass excavation, and precision grading to underground water, sewer, storm drainage, electrical, and power infrastructure.

We invest in technology, equipment, training, and—most importantly—our people. We’re looking for people who want to raise the standard, not maintain it.

Everything we do comes back to three core values:

Leading with Heart – Bring humility, accountability, respect, and empathy to the way you work with clients, teammates, subcontractors, and partners.

Strength in Unity – Great bids aren’t built in silos. Communicate, collaborate, and bring the right people together to win.

Alpha Mentality – Bring grit, character, precision, and a growth mindset. Adapt, improve, and never compromise the standard.

For an Estimator, those values show up in the details.

What You’ll Own

Hunt the Right Work

• You’ll help identify opportunities that make sense for Alpha—not just chase every project that hits the street.
• Monitor government publications, industry sources, and the market for upcoming projects and developments. Proactively identify near- and long-term opportunities, cultivate relationships, and help expand Alpha’s client base and future pipeline.

Know the Documents Cold

• Plans. Specifications. Soil reports. Addenda. Scope changes.
• You’ll dig into the bid documents and understand what the project is actually asking for—not merely what’s obvious on page one.
• Evaluate scope, cost, constructability, risk, and changes that could affect project requirements. Spot conflicts, missing information, exposure, and potential scope gaps before the bid goes out the door.

Build Numbers That Hold Up

• Develop precise, comprehensive estimates for civil improvement projects in both the private and public sectors.
• Coordinate and oversee quantity takeoffs while accounting for the realities that can make or break a job: access, phasing, production constraints, sequencing, resources, and schedule.
• The goal isn’t just to produce the lowest number.
• It’s to produce the right number—and know exactly why it’s right.

Lock Down the Scope

• Identify and engage subcontractors, suppliers, and service providers to secure competitive pricing.
• Alpha’s expectation is comprehensive coverage: obtain at least two quotes for each scope of work to strengthen pricing and minimize gaps before submission.
• You’ll know what’s covered, what isn’t, where the…
