What You Bring

Heavy equipment experience is a plus, but it is not required.
The A-Player Difference
The person who thrives in this role isn't waiting for someone to constantly tell them what to do.
You show up ready.
You pay attention.
You ask good questions.
You take feedback and get better.
You respect the people teaching you.
You clean up after yourself.
And when you make a mistake, you own it, learn from it, and don't make the same mistake twice.
That's Alpha Mentality - and we can teach a motivated person a lot when they bring it.
Why Alpha?
Because learning a trade should lead somewhere.
At Alpha, you'll have the opportunity to work around experienced professionals and real heavy equipment while developing practical mechanical skills that can build the foundation for a long-term career.
You'll join a team that values:

• Safety - doing the work the right way.
• Craftsmanship - taking pride in what carries your name.
• Growth - learning from people who know the trade.
