The Opportunity

This is not a “babysit the jobsite” superintendent role.

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Civil Superintendent who can take full ownership of complex civil projects on Kauaʻi—from planning through punch list—and deliver them with discipline, pride, and precision.

 

You’ll be the field leader: setting the tone for safety, quality, productivity, and culture on your projects. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Foremen, Project Managers, and crews to turn plans into reality—while protecting people, schedules, and margins.

 

If you’re the kind of superintendent who commands respect without ego, thrives in the field, and believes great projects are built by great teams—this is your seat.

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.
