The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is looking for a Civil Field Engineer who knows the job doesn’t end when the dirt moves.

This is not a clipboard-only, watch-from-the-trailer kind of role. This is boots in the field, eyes on the details, and ownership over the documentation, coordination, and compliance that keep a project tight, traceable, and moving forward.

You’ll be embedded on active jobsites, working where field execution meets real-time accountability. Quantities. Sampling logs. Waste tracking. Daily reports. Haul tickets. Environmental documentation. Site activity that needs to be captured right the first time — not cleaned up later.

If you thrive in fast-moving environments, catch discrepancies before they become problems, and take pride in building order out of field complexity, this role has your name on it.

About Alpha Inc.

Founded and grown in Hawaiʻi, Alpha Inc. is a locally owned leader in heavy civil construction, renewable energy, concrete services, drilling, and infrastructure solutions. We build work that matters to island communities — and we do it with grit, precision, and pride.

At Alpha, our team is the core of our success, and our culture is built around three values:

Leading with Heart – We lead with humility, respect, and care for our people.
Strength in Unity – We work as one team, across crews, disciplines, and islands.
Alpha Mentality – We show up accountable, solutions-first, and ready to execute.

This role lives at the center of all three.

What You’ll Do

As Civil Field Engineer, you’ll help hold the project together by making sure field activity is not only happening — it’s being documented, reconciled, tracked, and backed up with audit-ready precision.

Own the Field Documentation

• Track soil excavation quantities, stockpiles, and disposal volumes
• Maintain daily reports, field logs, and photo documentation
• Reconcile field data and flag discrepancies before they become cost, schedule, or compliance issues
• Keep project documentation organized, current, and audit-ready at all times

Drive Environmental & Material Tracking

• Log environmental sampling activities, including stockpile, TCLP, and confirmation sampling
• Track chain-of-custody forms, lab results, and waste manifests
• Monitor and document hazardous and non-hazardous material handling
• Record weights, volumes, haul tickets, shipping data, and disposal records
• Coordinate and track supersacks, bins, and containers, including inter-island and mainland shipment activity

Support Site Compliance

• Help maintain documentation tied to C-EHMP, SWPPP, BMP inspections, dust control, erosion control, and stormwater requirements
• Assist environmental professionals and QEP support efforts with monitoring records and compliance tracking
• Maintain safety-related records, including site access logs and OSHA lead-related documentation as required

Be the Link Between Field and Leadership

• Coordinate with field crews, environmental staff, vendors, haulers, labs, and inspectors
• Support day-to-day reporting and documentation workflows that keep project leadership informed
• Contribute to layout verification, GPS systems, and field technology support where needed

What You Bring

You’re sharp, organized, field-tested, and hard to rattle. You know that in construction, details are not admin work — they’re operational control.

Required

• 2+ years of experience in construction administration, field coordination, logistics, or a similar role
• Strong attention to detail with a high level of accuracy in documentation and data entry
• Ability to manage large volumes of field data in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment
• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and digital document management systems
• Ability to work onsite in active construction conditions

Preferred

• Experience on environmental, remediation, or civil construction projects
• Familiarity with soil sampling, lab workflows, or hazardous waste tracking
• Knowledge of SWPPP, BMP inspections, or environmental compliance processes
• Experience tracking materials, shipments, or construction logistics
• Experience with Bluebeam, SharePoint, Google Drive, or similar platforms
• Basic GIS or mapping experience is a plus

Why This Role Matters

The best field operations don’t run on guesswork. They run on visibility, precision, and follow-through.

That’s where you come in.

This role is critical to making sure work in the field is fully captured, properly documented, and aligned with project requirements from start to finish. You’ll help protect schedule, compliance, and execution quality — while giving project leadership the confidence that the details are locked down.

Why Alpha?

Because this is the kind of place where your work actually matters.

At Alpha Inc., you won’t be buried in a bureaucracy or boxed into a narrow lane. You’ll be part of a team building complex, meaningful work across Hawaiʻi — with people who care about doing it right, doing it safely, and doing it together. Alpha publicly emphasizes innovation, quality, customer service, and environmentally responsible practices, which fits this role especially well.
