GPS Program Manager

The Opportunity

Alpha Inc. is looking for a GPS Program Manager to own and oversee our GPS modeling machine-control and construction-data operations across Oahu and Kauai.

This isnt a role for someone who wants to sit behind a monitor and push CAD files downstream.

We need someone who understands that the model matters because the field depends on it.

Youll turn contract drawings survey information design changes and field conditions into accurate 3D models and reliable machine-control data that help our crews build faster smarter and with precision. Youll work alongside project teams engineers estimators operators and field leadership to make sure what exists digitally can actually be built in the dirt.

And when something doesnt add up

You dont pass the problem along. You find it challenge it solve it and make sure the field has what it needs to execute.

If you know construction understand GPS and machine control can see problems in a model before they become expensive problems in the field and take serious pride in getting the details right we want to talk.

About Alpha Inc.

Alpha Inc. is a Hawaii-grown company working across heavy civil construction drilling energy and infrastructure.

We build work that matters to Hawaiiand we expect the people behind that work to bring craftsmanship accountability and pride to what they do.

Our three core values arent wall art. Theyre how we operate:

Leading with Heart Treat people with humility empathy respect and genuine care.

Strength in Unity One crew many talents. We solve problems and win together.

Alpha Mentality Bring grit accountability excellence and the drive to keep getting better.

As our GPS Program Manager for Oahu and Kauai youll put all three into practicesupporting the people in the field connecting teams through accurate information and refusing to settle for mediocre work.

What Youll Own

Own GPS & Machine-Control Data Across Two Islands

• Youll take ownership of the accuracy readiness and integrity of GPS and machine-control information supporting Alphas Oahu and Kauai projects.
• Create maintain and issue machine-control data for GPS-guided equipment.
• Verify information before it reaches the field and ensure data is accurate current and constructible.
• Perform GPS field calibrations and support survey and machine-guidance operations.
• Help troubleshoot issues when field conditions plans models or equipment arent lining up.

Build Models That Crews Can Actually Build From

• Create detailed accurate 2D and 3D construction models using AutoCAD Trimble Business Center or similar platforms.
• Develop construction sketches exhibits field files and supporting documents.
• Update models throughout the project lifecycle to incorporate design revisions field modifications and as-built conditions.
• Produce visualizations renderings and other materials that make complex construction information easier to understand.

Catch Problems Before They Cost Us

• A-player performance in this role means finding problems before they reach production.
• Review contract drawings specifications surveys and models for discrepancies conflicts missing information and constructability issues.
• Work with project teams engineers architects and other stakeholders to resolve problems.
• Develop RFIs when plans or specifications need clarification.
• Protect our crews from working off bad or outdated information.

Support Better Bids & Better Plans

• Perform quantity takeoffs from 3D models to support estimating and project planning.
• Partner with project teams during bidding preconstruction and active construction.
• Help teams understand quantities sequencing site conditions and potential conflicts before mobilization whenever possible.

Be the Bridge Between Technology & the Field

• Great technology is useless if the people doing the work cant use it.
• Train and support field personnel in GPS equipment survey equipment machine-control systems and applicable software.
• Build credibility with operators and field leadership by understanding how the work actually gets built.
• Translate technical information into practical direction crews can use.
• Spend time where the work happensthis is not a desk-only position.

Drive Consistency Across Oahu & Kauai

• Create disciplined repeatable practices for GPS data modeling calibration file management and field deployment across both islands.
• Coordinate priorities across multiple projects and teams.
• Maintain control of project lifecycle data so teams are working from the right information at the right time.
• Travel between Oahu and Kauai as business and project needs require.

What Winning Looks Like

• Were interested in outcomes not just activity.
• A successful GPS Program Manager helps create an operation where:
• Field crews trust the data. Files are accurate current constructible and ready when needed.
• Machines work from the right information. GPS and machine-control data support efficient production instead of creating rework.
• Problems get caught upstream. Conflicts and ambiguities are identified early and driven toward resolution.
• Project teams have better intelligence. Models and takeoffs improve planning bidding coordination and execution.
• Oahu and Kauai operate to one standard. Teams arent reinventing the GPS process from project to project.
• Field teams become more capable. Operators and staff receive practical training and support that makes the technology more valuable.
• You own the result. When something isnt working you dont wait for someone else to fix it.
