Boston – NEI General Contracting announced it has promoted Ken Calder to project executive in its Boston-area office and James Bellows to project executive in its Winter Garden, Fla. office.
Calder served NEI as a senior superintendent for many years before transitioning to the company’s project management team, while Bellows has been with NEI since 2020 when he joined the company as a project manager.
Representatives of the firm say this latest promotion recognizes Calder’s ability to connect and mentor team members in both the field and office environments, and that he is respected as a leader with a deep interest in developing next-generation talent, making his promotion to project executive a natural evolution in his own ten-year career with NEI.
The firm’s representatives say Bellows has built his reputation on providing detailed strategies for managing complex multi-phased residential projects, and that he has honed his expertise in navigating the logistics of working within occupied spaces, particularly in affordable housing communities where residents may have limited alternatives for accommodation during renovations. Prior to joining NEI, Bellows worked as a construction project manager for the Walt Disney Company. He is a LEED accredited professional.
