The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is seeking a high-ownership, action-oriented Equipment Manager to keep our fleet mission-ready—safe, compliant, and available—so our teams can execute without delay. This role is core to operational performance: when equipment is dialed, projects move. When it isn’t, everything stalls. You’ll own the day-to-day operations of equipment management, inventory control, and equipment maintenance—leading the equipment team and coordinating across departments to support field execution.

This is a role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, builds strong systems, and takes pride in preventing problems before they hit the jobsite.

If you’re the kind of leader who runs the fleet like a business—driving readiness, accountability, and continuous improvement—you’ll feel right at home.
