The Opportunity

This Is Not a “Just Keep the Crew Busy” Foreman Role.

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Civil Foreman who leads from the front, owns outcomes, and takes pride in delivering infrastructure that Hawaiʻi depends on.

 

These are prevailing wage, high-visibility waterline replacement projects — including:

  • A 12” waterline replacement kicking off in early April
  • A 20” water supply waterline replacement following shortly after

 

If you know how to run underground work safely, efficiently, and with zero excuses — and you expect your crew to bring the same standard every day — keep reading.

 

About Alpha Inc.

Born and built in Hawaiʻi, Alpha Inc. is a locally owned leader in heavy civil construction, infrastructure, renewable energy, concrete, drilling, and specialty services.

 

We don’t just build projects — we build trust, careers, and long-term impact for island communities.

 

Everything we do is grounded in our core values:

As a Civil Foreman, you are a culture carrier of these values on every jobsite you lead.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
