Payroll Manager
Compensation: $30-$35 per hour

Let’s be real — payroll isn’t just numbers. It’s trust. It’s precision. It’s making sure every single person in the field and behind the scenes gets paid right, on time, every time.

At Alpha Inc., we’re not looking for someone who “runs payroll.”
We’re looking for someone who owns it
.

Someone who sees patterns others miss.
Someone who can spot a discrepancy before it becomes a problem.
Someone who can handle complexity, confidentiality, and chaos — without flinching.

If you take pride in getting it right down to the last cent — and you’re wired to improve systems, not just maintain them — keep reading.

We’re not a typical construction company.

We’re a Hawai'i-grown force building infrastructure that actually matters — across civil, concrete, energy, drilling, and beyond. And we do it with intention.

Our culture isn’t corporate fluff, it’s how we operate every day:

• Lead with Heart
  – Respect isn’t optional. People come first.
• Strength in Unity
  – No silos. No egos. One team.
• Alpha Mentality
  – We take ownership, push limits, and execute.

You won’t just process payroll here, you’ll be part of a company scaling fast and doing meaningful work across the islands.

This role is about accuracy, accountability, and elevation.

• Track hours, deductions, adjustments, and changes with zero margin for error
• Analyze payroll data for trends, discrepancies, and optimization opportunities
• Build reports that actually help leadership make decisions (not just check boxes)

• Ensure payroll aligns with federal, Hawai'i state, and local labor laws
• Stay ahead of regulatory changes — not behind them

• Maintain and improve payroll systems (ADP, Quick Books, Net Suite, etc.)
• Partner with HR + IT to streamline workflows and eliminate inefficiencies

• Manage certified payroll reporting for projects
• Conduct audits, reconcile accounts, and resolve issues before they escalate

• Handle employee payroll questions with clarity, urgency, and professionalism
• Protect confidentiality like it’s non-negotiable (because it is)
• Identify breakdowns and fix them
• Recommend smarter, faster, more accurate ways to operate

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field (preferred)
• 3+ years of payroll experience (construction industry = strong advantage)

• Deep understanding of payroll laws, taxes, and compliance
• Experience with payroll systems (ADP, Quick Books, Net Suite, etc.)
• Advanced Excel skills (you don’t just use spreadsheets — you command them)

• Detail-obsessed (the good kind)
• Highly organized in fast-paced environments
• Discreet, trustworthy, and professional with sensitive data
• Problem-solver who doesn’t wait to be told

• You Lead with Heart
  — even when it’s busy
• You believe in Strength in Unity
  — no lone wolves
• You bring an Alpha Mentality
  — ownership, grit, and pride in your work

Because here, payroll isn’t buried in the back office — it’s mission-critical.

You’ll be part of a company that:

• Invests in people, not just projects
• Actually lives its values — on job sites and in the office
