Location: Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
Reports to: Director of Operations
Employment Type: Full-Time

Compensation: $160,000 – $180,000 annually (based on experience)

 

The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is seeking a high-ownership, action-oriented Senior Project Manager to drive critical infrastructure and construction projects in West Hawaii. This role isn’t built for comfort—it’s designed for leaders who thrive in dynamic, fast-moving environments. We’re expanding our heavy civil footprint on the Big Island, and we need a seasoned pro to help us scale responsibly, safely, and with purpose.

 

As part of the Construction Operations team, you’ll take the reins on complex, high-impact projects—guiding them from bid through close-out while keeping quality, budget, safety, and morale top of mind. You won’t be handed a playbook—you’ll be expected to help write it. And you’ll do it alongside a team that values grit, trust, and big-picture thinking.

Success in this role takes more than experience. It takes presence, precision, urgency, and resilience. If you lead with heart, thrive under pressure, and are energized by solving hard problems with good people, this might be your next chapter.
