Concrete - Project Manager II/III

The Opportunity

Some people manage construction projects. Others build the teams, systems, and results that set the standard for everyone else.

At Alpha Inc., we're looking for the second kind.

We're searching for a high-performing Project Manager II or Project Manager III – Concrete who knows how to turn complex construction challenges into safe, profitable, high-quality results.

Someone who understands that a successful concrete pour starts long before the trucks arrive. Someone who knows their numbers, earns the respect of the field, builds trust with clients, and takes ownership when things don't go according to plan.

This isn't a role for someone who simply tracks schedules, forwards emails, and waits for problems to solve themselves.

We want a builder. A problem-solver. A leader who owns the outcome.

Whether you're a proven Project Manager ready to take on greater responsibility or an experienced leader capable of overseeing complex projects and developing other Project Managers, we want to hear from you.

We'll match the level of the role to the strength of the leader.

Bring the track record. Bring the grit. We'll bring the opportunity.

About Alpha Inc.

Alpha Inc. is a locally owned Hawai?i company delivering construction, concrete, drilling, energy, and infrastructure solutions that help build stronger island communities.

We're not interested in doing things halfway.

We believe exceptional results come from exceptional people working together, holding themselves accountable, and taking pride in the work they leave behind.

Our three core values aren't corporate decorations. They're how we operate.

Lead with Heart – We lead with humility, empathy, and respect. We take care of our people and recognize that great leadership starts with genuinely caring.

Strength in Unity – One team. One mission. We collaborate across departments, support our crews, and win together.

Alpha Mentality – We bring grit, ownership, accountability, and a relentless commitment to excellence. Challenges don't intimidate us. They motivate us.

If those values describe how you already operate, you'll feel right at home.
