The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is looking for an IT Engineer – Software and Applications who can keep the digital backbone of a fast-moving construction, drilling, energy, and infrastructure company running sharp, secure, and ready for what’s next.

This is not a “reset passwords and wait for tickets” kind of role.

This is a high-impact, systems-thinking, field-aware technology role for someone who knows that software, applications, cloud tools, integrations, AI, data, and cybersecurity are not back-office nice-to-haves — they are what keep crews moving, projects coordinated, leaders informed, and operations firing on all cylinders.

You’ll support the teams building Hawaiʻi’s future: Foremen, Superintendents, Project Managers, Leaders, field offices, and operational teams who rely on business-critical applications every day. Your job is to make sure those tools work, scale, connect, comply, and actually make people better at their jobs.

If you’re the kind of IT professional who sees broken workflows before anyone else does, builds clean systems instead of messy workarounds, and can translate technical complexity into practical solutions for real people — this may be your next big move.

About Alpha Inc.

Alpha Inc. is a Hawaiʻi-grown leader in construction, drilling, renewable energy, concrete resources, and infrastructure solutions. We take on complex work that matters to island communities — and we do it with precision, grit, innovation, and pride.

We live by three core values:

Leading with Heart – We treat people with humility, respect, care, and accountability.

Strength in Unity – We believe the best results come from aligned teams, shared ownership, and cross-functional collaboration.

Alpha Mentality – We bring excellence, resilience, and relentless improvement to everything we do.

As our IT Engineer – Software and Applications, you’ll carry those values into the systems, tools, and support that keep our people connected and productive.

What You Will Do

As IT Engineer – Software and Applications, you’ll be the technical owner and problem-solver behind Alpha’s essential business applications, software platforms, cloud tools, AI-enabled workflows, and integrations.

Own the Application Environment

  • Serve as the lead technical expert for application and software configuration, ensuring systems are reliable, efficient, secure, and compliant.
  • Manage and optimize tools such as Microsoft 365, Box Drive, Jira, Confluence, NetSuite, Asana, and related AI-enabled platforms.
  • Support construction and operations technology, including platforms such as HCSS Apps, HeavyJob, HeavyBid, HCSS Safety, DocuSign, Adobe Pro, MS Project, Bluebeam, and other field-critical tools.

Build Smarter Systems

  • Design, recommend, and implement cloud and AI-driven solutions that improve application performance, user experience, workflow automation, and operational efficiency.
  • Identify manual processes, bottlenecks, and recurring pain points — then turn them into cleaner, faster, more scalable systems.
  • Use data, reporting, and visualization tools to help leaders make sharper decisions.

Be the Escalation Point People Trust

  • Act as the primary escalation resource for complex software, application, integration, and technical support issues across HQ, remote users, field offices, and jobsites.
  • Troubleshoot advanced issues with urgency, professionalism, and ownership.
  • Use AI-driven tools and smart support strategies to improve response time, root-cause analysis, and end-user effectiveness.

Train, Onboard, and Elevate Users

  • Develop and conduct IT orientations for new hires, including application access, device setup, and core system readiness.
  • Create targeted training that helps employees actually use critical applications well — not just log in and hope for the best.
  • Build clear documentation, user guides, and repeatable processes that reduce confusion and increase adoption.

Lead Deployments and Integrations

  • Lead application, software, hardware, cloud migration, and system upgrade projects.
  • Coordinate cross-functional project tasks with IT, Operations, Finance, Project Management, Field Leadership, and external vendors.
  • Keep timelines, quality standards, compliance needs, and user impact front and center.

Manage Vendors, Licensing, and Compliance

  • Partner with software vendors to manage licensing, renewals, system performance, and service expectations.
  • Track compliance with company policies, cybersecurity requirements, and applicable regulations.
  • Support long-term operational stability through clean documentation and disciplined application governance.

Turn Data Into Action

  • Use advanced Excel functions, including pivot tables, conditional formatting, complex formulas, and reporting tools to generate insights.
  • Apply data visualization and workflow automation techniques to improve reporting, planning, and decision-making.

What You Bring

  • You are part engineer, part strategist, part trainer, part translator — and all owner.
  • You don’t just fix symptoms. You hunt root causes.
  • You don’t just support systems. You make them better.
  • You don’t just answer questions. You help people become more capable.

Experience

  • 5–7+ years of enterprise-level IT application and software support experience, including onsite, remote, and field support.
  • Proven experience supporting business-critical applications in a fast-paced, multi-location environment.
  • Experience managing complex technical projects, software rollouts, system upgrades, integrations, and cloud-based tools.
  • Experience working with cross-functional teams, external vendors, and operational users with varying levels of technical skill.
  • Construction, heavy civil, energy, field operations, or project-based industry experience is strongly preferred.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field preferred.
  • Equivalent technical experience, certifications, and demonstrated expertise will also be considered.

Technical Skills

  • Advanced knowledge of enterprise applications such as Microsoft 365, Box Drive, Jira, Confluence, NetSuite, Asana, and AI-enabled productivity tools.
  • Preferred experience with construction management and operations software such as HCSS Apps, HeavyJob, HeavyBid, HCSS Safety, DocuSign, Adobe Pro, MS Project, and Bluebeam.
  • Strong technical proficiency across software, hardware, cloud environments, integrations, application administration, cybersecurity fundamentals, and end-user support.
  • Advanced Excel skills, including pivot tables, conditional formatting, formulas, reporting, analysis, and workflow automation.
  • Ability to document systems, train users, manage vendors, and support compliance with discipline and clarity.

Mindset

You are calm under pressure and sharp in the details.

You communicate technical information in a way real people can understand.

You can move between strategy and execution without losing momentum.

You take ownership, follow through, and don’t need to be chased.

You build trust with field teams, office teams, managers, vendors, and leadership.

Most importantly, you embody:

Leading with Heart – You support people with patience, respect, and accountability.

Strength in Unity – You collaborate across departments and make teams stronger.

Alpha Mentality – You solve hard problems, raise the bar, and keep improving.

Form CC-305

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.
