Civil Laborer

Heavy Civil Laborer (Underground Utilities) — Maui

The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is hiring a Heavy Civil Laborer to support underground utility —water, sewer, storm drain, and site prep. This is hands-on civil construction with a crew that takes pride in doing it right: safe, clean, and built to last.

If you’re the kind of person who shows up early, stays alert around equipment, protects the crew, and wants to get better every week—this is for you. You’ll work under a Foreman and alongside experienced operators and pipe crews in a fast-paced environment where the standard is high and the work matters.

We’re Hawaiʻi-built and Hawaiʻi-proud. Our projects shape island communities for generations—so we’re looking for pros who treat every trench, every connection, and every clean-up like it matters.

Our Core Values

• Lead with Heart — We take care of people first. That means respect on the jobsite, humility in how we communicate, and the discipline to choose safety and quality over ego.
• Strength in Unity — We win together: one crew, one plan, one standard. We coordinate, communicate, and back each other up—no silos, no drama.
• Alpha Mentality — We bring grit and accountability every day. We take ownership, learn fast, and push for excellence in craftsmanship, safety, and production.

Who You Are (high Bar, Values-fit)

• You communicate clearly, stay aware around moving equipment, and look out for the crew.
