The Opportunity

This Is Not a “Wrench-and-Walk-Away” Job

 

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Heavy Equipment Mechanic who owns their craft end-to-end — from first inspection to final test run — and understands that uptime isn’t luck, it’s discipline.

 

This role is for mechanics who don’t just fix what’s broken, but anticipate failures, protect people, and keep projects moving. If you take pride in running iron that’s safe, dialed-in, and ready to perform — you’ll thrive here.

 

About Alpha Inc.

Founded and grown in Hawaiʻi, Alpha Inc. is a locally owned leader in heavy civil construction, concrete, energy, drilling, cranes, and infrastructure solutions. We build projects that serve island communities for generations — with precision, purpose, and pride.

 

Everything we do is guided by three core values:

  • Lead with Heart – Respect the crew, work safely, and take care of people.
  • Strength in Unity – One team, one mission; operations succeed when we work together.
  • Alpha Mentality – Own your work, raise the standard, and never settle for “good enough.”

 

As a Heavy Equipment Mechanic, you are a critical force multiplier behind every successful jobsite.

 

What You Will Do

You’ll be trusted with keeping Alpha’s fleet safe, reliable, and production-ready, including excavators, dozers, backhoes, graders, loaders, haul trucks, on-highway vehicles — and the supporting equipment that keeps jobs moving.

 

Your responsibilities include:

  • Inspecting, maintaining, servicing, and repairing heavy construction equipment
  • Diagnosing mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical issues with accuracy and efficiency
  • Performing preventative maintenance to reduce downtime and extend equipment life
  • Testing and verifying repairs to ensure full functionality and safety compliance
  • Maintaining accurate maintenance records and documentation
  • Using diagnostic tools and equipment to troubleshoot complex issues
  • Ordering parts and coordinating repairs to keep equipment job-ready
  • Ensuring all equipment meets safety standards and regulatory requirements
  • Adhering strictly to safety protocols while operating equipment and tools
  • Supporting the Equipment Superintendent and field operations as needed

Additional Scope (High-Value Skillset):

  • Inspecting, servicing, repairing, and rebuilding small engines (e.g., generators, compact equipment, pumps, plate compactors, saws, and related support equipment)
  • Diagnosing fuel, ignition, cooling, and mechanical issues on small engine systems

This is a hands-on, high-accountability role where your decisions directly affect safety, schedules, and productivity.

 

What You Bring

We’re not just hiring experience — we’re hiring ownership and pride of workmanship.

Required Experience & Skills

  • Minimum 3 years of experience as a Heavy Equipment Mechanic
  • Proven experience with small engine repair and rebuilds
  • Strong working knowledge of mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical systems
  • Advanced troubleshooting and diagnostic capabilities
  • Valid driver’s license required (Type 4 or CDL A preferred)

The Alpha Difference

  • You take pride in clean, correct, and safe repairs
  • You communicate clearly with operators, supervisors, and leadership
  • You think ahead and prevent problems before they cost time or money
  • You live Lead with Heart, Strength in Unity, and Alpha Mentality every day

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.
