Estimator

Location: Kahului, Hawaiʻi
Reports to: Chief Estimator
Employment Type: Full-Time, Exempt
Department: Civil
Annual Compensation: $120,000.00 - $150,000.00 commensurate with experience

The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is looking for an Estimator who knows that winning work is not about throwing numbers at a spreadsheet and hoping the math survives.

This role is for the sharp-eyed, detail-obsessed, relationship-driven builder who can read the plans, see the risk, price the work, chase the right opportunities, and help Alpha win the projects that shape Hawaiʻi’s future.

You will be the person who turns plans, specs, soil reports, subcontractor quotes, production assumptions, and market intelligence into clean, competitive, confidence-building bids.

This is not a back-office “plug and chug” estimating seat. This is a front-line growth role for someone who can think like a builder, communicate like a partner, and compete like an Alpha.

If you are the kind of estimator who catches what others miss, builds trust before the bid drops, and understands that precision is a competitive weapon — this might be your next move.

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 projects that serve island communities for generations — with precision, purpose, and pride.

We live by three core values that shape how we lead, bid, build, and deliver:

Lead with Heart – Humility, integrity, empathy, and respect in every interaction.
Strength in Unity – One crew, many talents; we win together.
Alpha Mentality – Grit, accountability, and a relentless drive to excel.

As an Estimator, you will bring those values into every pursuit, every scope review, every subcontractor conversation, and every bid that carries the Alpha name.

What You Will Do

As Estimator, you will help fuel Alpha’s growth by identifying the right opportunities, building complete and competitive estimates, and helping position the company to win profitable work across private and public-sector improvement projects.

Own the Bid Process with Precision

• Review and analyze plans, specifications, soil reports, bid documents, addenda, and project requirements to determine scope, cost, risk, production constraints, and key assumptions.
• Develop detailed estimates, bid packages, project schedules, and executive-level summaries that give leadership the clarity needed to make smart go/no-go and pricing decisions.
• Coordinate and oversee quantity takeoffs with a sharp focus on access requirements, project phasing, site logistics, production limitations, and scope gaps.

Hunt the Right Opportunities

• Monitor government publications, industry sources, client pipelines, and market activity to identify upcoming projects and long-term opportunities.
• Stay ahead of potential work before it hits the street, helping Alpha compete earlier, smarter, and stronger.
• Seek out new business opportunities and help expand Alpha’s client base through consistent market awareness and relationship-building.

Build Relationships That Win Work

• Develop and maintain strong relationships with clients, subcontractors, suppliers, service providers, and internal project teams.
• Identify, contact, and obtain quotes from subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors for required scopes of work.
• Drive comprehensive bid coverage and minimize exposure by securing at least two quotes for each applicable scope whenever possible.

Protect the Margin Before the Job Starts

• Evaluate document changes, scope shifts, site conditions, production risks, schedule impacts, and subcontractor coverage issues that could affect project cost or execution.
• Pressure-test assumptions before the bid goes out the door.
• Help ensure Alpha does not just win work — we win the right work, at the right number, with the right plan.

Collaborate Across the Business

• Work closely with operations, project managers, leadership, subcontractors, and vendors to ensure estimates reflect real-world execution.
• Bring clarity to complexity and help the team align around scope, schedule, production, pricing, and risk.
• Operate with the discipline of an estimator and the mindset of a builder.

What You Bring

• You are analytical, competitive, relationship-savvy, and allergic to sloppy work.
• You know that details matter. You know that scope gaps are expensive. You know that a great estimate is not just accurate — it is strategic.

Experience

• 3–5 years of hands-on Heavy Civil Construction estimating experience.
• Experience estimating civil, heavy civil, infrastructure, sitework, utility, improvement, or related construction projects preferred.
• Experience working with both private and public-sector bids strongly preferred.
• Experience with subcontractor and supplier outreach, quote comparison, bid leveling, and scope coverage.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, or a related field preferred.
• Equivalent relevant field, estimating, or construction experience may be considered.

Technical Skills

• Experience with HeavyBid and HeavyJob is required.
• Strong ability to analyze bid documents, plans, specifications, soil reports, construction codes, and regulatory requirements.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, especially Word and Excel.
• Strong ability to prepare detailed estimates, schedules, takeoffs, bid summaries, and proposal materials.

Mindset & Leadership

• Exceptional attention to detail — you catch the small things before they become expensive things.
• Strong communication skills with clients, subcontractors, suppliers, field teams, project managers, and executives.
• Problem-solving ability under pressure and against deadlines.
• Collaborative style with the confidence to ask hard questions, challenge assumptions, and protect the company’s interests.
• A competitive drive to help Alpha win — without cutting corners, playing games, or sacrificing integrity.
• Most importantly, you embody:

Lead with Heart – You build trust through honesty, respect, and follow-through.
Strength in Unity – You know bids are won by aligned teams, not lone wolves.
Alpha Mentality – You pursue excellence, own the details, and compete to win.

Why Alpha?

At Alpha Inc., we are not just chasing projects — we are building Hawaiʻi’s future.

You will join a team that takes on meaningful infrastructure, energy, drilling, concrete, and civil work across the islands. You will be part of a company that invests in people, technology, training, safety, and long-term relationships. And you will have the opportunity to directly influence the work Alpha wins, the partnerships we build, and the communities we impact.

This is a role for someone who wants more than a desk, a takeoff set, and a deadline.

This is for an estimator who wants to be part of the engine.

Build, Deploy, and Maintain AI for an Unpredictable World

Striveworks helps organizations harness the power of artificial intelligence to solve real-world national security and business challenges by serving as the command center between data, models, and business outcomes. Founded by data scientists and engineers, Striveworks set out to make the journey from deployment to ongoing optimization simple and effective.

With Striveworks, organizations aren’t just deploying AI—they’re building systems that remain reliable, adaptable, and ready to scale in an unpredictable world. Mission-critical operations require models that perform where they’re deployed, scale as workloads grow, and adapt rapidly as AI capabilities advance. Striveworks meets these demands, increasing reliability and performance while lowering costs—and enabling confident, data-driven decision-making in dynamic environments.

The Role

The Embedded Operations Manager is Striveworks’ permanent, on-the-ground presence at a US Army Division HQ, accountable for the “last mile” of the NGC2 program. Partnered with the Field Program Manager and Technical Lead, you bridge the gap between high-level program intent and daily tactical execution. This role is designed for a mission-driven professional who thrives on proximity to the Soldier and understands that in an operational environment, presence and follow-through are the only currency that matters. You are the critical link that determines whether Striveworks is viewed as a vendor or a trusted partner.

Operating with high autonomy, you manage the ground-level logistics, readiness, and relationships that keep the program moving. An Embedded Operations Manager operates with autonomy, sound judgment, and an ownership mentality—not because someone is watching, but because the mission demands it. This role requires someone who can hold the ground professionally when the rest of the team is remote, who can read a room full of Soldiers and a room full of senior leaders with equal credibility, and who knows instinctively when to solve a problem and when to escalate one. As an operations manager, you take personal ownership of the mission. You are the program’s earliest warning system, ensuring that our software engineers and data scientists are perfectly synced with the unit’s operational reality.

Day-to-day responsibilities:

• Ensure operational readiness: Own the preparation and execution checklists for all exercise cycles and operations, avoiding preventable gaps in systems or facilities access
• Manage on-site logistics: Lead end-to-end ground logistics, including equipment accountability, teammate enablement, and local project team coordination
• Cultivate Soldier-level trust: Build deep, daily relationships across the formation to ensure that Striveworks’ capabilities are integrated into the unit’s actual workflow
• Act as an early warning system: Identify and surface customer friction points, sentiment shifts, and emerging requirements to leadership with enough lead time to act
• Resolve ground-level issues: Handle customer exceptions and satisfaction issues autonomously, escalating scope changes or senior commander demands to the Field Program Manager
• Coordinate field execution: Synchronize on-site team activities with the technical roadmap, ensuring ground-level progress alignment to operational requirements
• Maintain situational awareness: Provide continuous updates on delivery risks and blockers to ensure that program leadership is never surprised by conditions on the ground

This position offers a hybrid/on-site work environment at customer sites at Schofield Army Barracks in Oߵahu, Hawaiߵi. You will be expected to travel up to 15% of the time.

The Right Fit

In addition to the specific skills and expertise detailed below, we are looking for individuals who share our values. Sharing a set of values allows us to move at the speed of trust. 

Collectively, we value a high-trust work environment where people respect each other and use candor kindly and constructively. We value work that intersects passion and perseverance, we geek out about the potential of our contributions, and we find joy in working hard on things that matter. Finally, we value taking ownership, having agency, and feeling individual responsibility for collective results.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent demonstrated experience and 3+ years of experience with military operations at brigade level or higher; someone who understands how formations operate, not just how they’re organized
• Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous, high-stakes environments; sound judgment about when to act and when to escalate
• Track record of building trust with Soldiers and senior leaders through presence and follow-through—not rank or slide decks
• Strong written and verbal communication across organizational levels; able to represent Striveworks credibly in any room at the formation
• Sufficient technical fluency to participate meaningfully in software delivery conversations without leading them
• Active Secret (or above) US security clearance
• Due to the nature of this role, candidates must have US citizenship

The Wish List

We’re very interested in candidates who possess the above qualifications, and we appreciate and consider the addition of:

• Direct experience with Army battlefield technology implementations at the unit level; you’ve watched a capability land well or fail badly, and you know the difference
• Familiarity with DOD IT, network, and communications infrastructure as an operator, not just an observer
• Experience with systems-account management, system access administration, or similar on-site enablement responsibilities in a DOD environment
• Prior experience in an embedded, liaison, or resident role with a defense technology vendor or program office
• Exposure to agile software delivery practices—enough to track a sprint, understand a backlog, and ask the right questions of a technical team
• Enough familiarity with machine learning/AI capabilities in operational contexts to explain basic value propositions to a skeptical Soldier

The anticipated base pay range for this position is $155,000–$180,000/year. Striveworks’ total compensation package includes a competitive base salary, equity grants, and cash bonuses.

The Benefits

• Medical/dental/vision insurance
• Voluntary life, long-term disability, accident, and hospital indemnity insurance
• HSA and FSA (including dependent care FSA) plans 
• 401(k) plan
• Unlimited PTO
• Paid parental leave
