Job description

Heavy Equipment Operator

Alpha Inc. is hunting for an A-Player Dozer + Grader Operator who can move material with intent not just make noise and tracks. If you know how to build grade, hold tolerance, read the ground, and make dirt behave this is your lane. We're talking real production, real finish, and real pride on projects that shape Hawai?i.

Alpha Inc.'s culture runs on three values (you'll feel them on every crew):

  • Lead with Heart Respect the people. Protect the crew. Do the right thing.
  • Strength in Unity No lone wolves. We win as one team.
  • Alpha Mentality Accountability, grit, and getting it done right the first time.

What You'll Own (Dozer + Grader, Material Moving)

Dozer: move material like a pro

  • Mass grading / cut-fill balance with production awareness (not just "push 'til it's flat").
  • Slot dozing, side casting, back-blading, benching, and clean transitions between lifts.
  • Ripping / rock handling (when needed) and smart coordination with loaders/excavators/haul.
  • Building stable working surfaces, access, and pads while protecting the jobsite plan.

Grader: finish work that actually finishes

  • Fine grading subgrade/base to spec and tolerance (tight work, clean lines).
  • Crown, cross-slope, superelevation, shoulder work, and ditch/berm shaping that drains right.
  • Stringline/slope stake awareness, reading plans/grades, and executing without babysitting.
  • Experience with GPS / machine control (Trimble/Topcon or similar) is a big plus but not required.

The "special techniques" we're specifically looking for

  • Building grade in variable material (coral, cinder, clay, select fill, import base) without chasing waves.
  • Blending transitions (tie-ins, driveways, intersections, curb lines, building pads).
  • Trim pass discipline: setting yourself up so the last pass is clean, not a rescue mission.
  • Working tight areas: utilities, live traffic zones, structural edges, and environmental boundaries.

What "A-Player" Looks Like Here

  • 5+ years operating dozers and graders on heavy civil/grading projects (more is better).

  • You can prove you can:

    • move material fast and right
    • hold finish tolerances
    • work safely near people, equipment, and utilities

  • Strong jobsite communication (radio discipline, hand signals, situational awareness).

  • You show up: reliable, accountable, coachable, and calm under pressure.

  • Valid driver's license - CDL A is a plus

Benefits & Perks

  • Competitive hourly pay (based on experience)
  • Full family medical/dental/vision options
  • 401(k) match up to 4%
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Company-provided training, upskilling, and access to modern tools/equipment

Requirements (Conditions of Employment)

Employment at Alpha Inc. is contingent upon the following:

  • Completion of standard pre-employment screening.
  • A background check conducted after a conditional offer; past issues will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis in line with Hawai'i and federal law.
  • Passing a drug test (for both full-time and part-time hires), conducted under Hawai'i's statutory requirements.

Alpha Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We do not discriminate based on any protected status under federal or Hawai'i law. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States; we are unable to sponsor visas. Employment eligibility will be verified upon hire. If you need a reasonable accommodation during the application or hiring process, please contact us at careers@alphahawaii.com.
