The Opportunity Alpha Inc. is looking for a Concrete Estimator who can read the details others miss, build relationships that open doors, and turn plans, specs, and field realities into sharp, competitive bids.
This is a high‑ownership seat for someone who can spot the right projects, build airtight estimates, and deliver proposals that are both strategic and accurate.
About Alpha Inc. Founded and grown in Hawaiʻi, Alpha Inc. is a locally owned leader in heavy civil construction, renewable energy, drilling, and concrete services. We serve island communities with quality, innovation, and long‑term impact. Our culture emphasizes excellence, sustainability, innovation, and investment in people and technology.
Everything we do is rooted in three core values:
Leading with Heart
– We lead with integrity, humility, and respect.
Strength in Unity
– We work as one team and win together.
Alpha Mentality
– We bring grit, accountability, and a relentless drive to excel.
As a Concrete Estimator, you will bring those values to life by pricing projects accurately and setting them up for success before the first yard is placed.
What You Will Do Hunt for the Right Work
Identify and pursue concrete construction bidding opportunities in both public and private sectors.
Monitor government publications, bid boards, and industry channels for upcoming projects and long‑range opportunities.
Be proactive in building visibility into the pipeline, not just reacting to what lands on your desk.
Build Relationships That Lead to Future Wins
Develop and maintain strong working relationships with clients, general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and industry partners.
Help expand Alpha’s client base by consistently building trust, credibility, and responsiveness in the market.
Break Down the Bid Before the Bid Breaks You
Analyze plans, specifications, geotechnical reports, schedules, and related bid documents in detail.
Define scope, identify risk, and evaluate changes or gaps that impact pricing, production, and execution.
Read between the lines and catch the issues that can make or break a job.
Own the Numbers
Perform detailed quantity take‑offs for concrete‑related scopes, including formwork, reinforcing steel, embeds, concrete placement, finishing, curing, jointing, and interfaces.
Evaluate labor, equipment, material, trucking, pump, and production costs to build complete and competitive estimates.
Solicit and level quotes from subcontractors, suppliers, and service providers, aiming for thorough scope coverage and minimizing exposure.
Think Beyond the Spreadsheet
Coordinate estimate development with attention to access, phasing, sequencing, placement logistics, production constraints, and constructability.
Support value‑engineering ideas and alternative approaches that improve competitiveness without compromising execution.
Prepare executive‑level bid summaries that clearly communicate assumptions, inclusions, exclusions, and key risks.
Set Operations Up to Win
Support the handoff from estimating to operations with clarity and discipline.
Ensure project teams understand the estimate logic, pricing assumptions, scope boundaries, and operational risks tied to the bid.
What You Bring You are competitive, detail‑obsessed, commercially sharp, and not afraid to own a deadline.
Experience
3–5 years of hands‑on concrete construction estimating experience.
Experience with
Heavy Bid
and
Heavy Job
is required.
Experience preparing bids for public and private construction work.
Education
Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management or a related field preferred.
