Description

You're more than a carpenter.

You're the one others look to when the work gets complicated, the schedule gets tight, and the standard can't slip.

At Alpha Inc., we're looking for a Carpenter Lead who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves, lead from the front, and take pride in building projects that strengthen Hawai?i for generations. You'll spend your days in the field—not behind a desk—guiding crews, solving problems, mentoring the next generation of tradespeople, and ensuring every project is built safely, efficiently, and with exceptional craftsmanship.

If you believe leadership is earned with actions—not titles—you'll fit right in.

Alpha Inc. is one of Hawai?i's premier construction companies, delivering civil construction, concrete, drilling, renewable energy, and infrastructure solutions across the islands.

Our success isn't built solely on concrete and steel—it's built on people who live our Core Values every day:

We treat people with respect, humility, and integrity.

Great projects are built by great teams.

Own it. Improve it. Finish strong.

We're not looking for someone to simply supervise a crew.

We're looking for someone who inspires one.

As a Carpenter Lead, you'll serve as the field leader for a crew of carpenters and laborers while remaining a hands-on contributor throughout the workday.

You'll help transform project plans into reality by leading with skill, accountability, and a commitment to excellence.

• Direct and work alongside crews performing framing, concrete formwork, finish carpentry, and structural carpentry.

• Communicate field updates, challenges, and safety concerns to the Carpenter Foreman.

• Naturally lead by example.
• Take ownership without needing constant direction.
• Hold yourself and others accountable.
• Care about doing the job right—not just getting it done.
• Stay calm under pressure.
• Earn the respect of your crew through consistency and integrity.

• Minimum 3 years of commercial or concrete carpentry experience.

• Ability to read blueprints and construction drawings.

• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and work outdoors in varying weather conditions.

• Previous experience serving as a Crew Lead or demonstrating leadership responsibilities.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
• Experience using construction technology or mobile reporting tools.

Within your first year, you'll have:

• Earned the trust and respect of your crew.
• Helped deliver projects safely, on schedule, and with exceptional craftsmanship.
• Developed newer carpenters into stronger contributors.
• Improved productivity while maintaining Alpha's quality standards.
• Become someone the Foreman relies on every day.

Because great tradespeople deserve more than just another construction job.
