Bellwether is a family-owned exterior remodeling company headquartered in Colorado with
nearly a decade of operations across Colorado and Wyoming. We’re now bringing that same
standard to New Mexico — launching a new branch serving communities along the I-25
corridor from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, including mountain and ski communities like Taos.
We don’t sell windows, siding, and doors as separate components — we deliver whole-home
exterior solutions that transform how homes look, feel, and perform. We hold manufacturer
certifications that fewer than a dozen companies in the country can claim, and we earn
them by holding ourselves to a standard most contractors don’t attempt.
We exist to create wins for everyone: transforming homes for our customers, investing in
meaningful opportunities for our team, and building strong partnerships that grow with us.
That’s not a mission statement we wrote for a careers page. It’s how we make decisions,
evaluate performance, and run the business.
We’re looking for a Project Manager who wants to be the face of that standard in New
Mexico. We’re also looking for someone who pays attention to detail — so read this entire
job description, and if it sounds like it was written about you, follow the instructions at the
bottom to reach out.
What You Should Know Before You Apply
We operate on five core values — Relentless & Reliable, Always Getting Better, Measure
Twice, Win as a Team, and Customer Obsessed — and we mean it. We hire by them, review
by them, and we’ve parted ways with people who didn’t live up to them, including people
who were good at their jobs. If accountability energizes you, you’ll thrive here. If it doesn’t,
this isn’t the right fit, and that’s okay.
We run on EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), which means clear expectations,measurable outcomes, and a team that holds each other to championship standards — not
because we’re rigid, but because that’s how we deliver the kind of results our customers
deserve and build the kind of careers our team members want.
The Role
We’re hiring a Project Manager to bring their expertise in exterior remodeling, construction
field management, and New Mexico contractor licensing to a team that takes pride in doing
this work at the highest level. This person will be the face of Bellwether’s operations in New
Mexico — managing residential, commercial, and multifamily projects across the
Albuquerque and Santa Fe markets, and serving as the GB-98 qualifying party whose
license enables Bellwether to operate in the state.
The right person is organized, detail-oriented, and driven by outcomes — not just activity.
You take ownership, follow through without being chased, and care about getting it right the
first time.
If you want to do meaningful work with people who hold themselves to a real standard, we’d
like to hear from you.
Who You Are
You’ve spent years in the field and you’ve earned the kind of knowledge that only comes
from being on site when things go wrong. You know what bad flashing looks like before it
becomes a callback. You know when a door installation is off before someone hangs it. You
know the difference between a crew that’s working and a crew that’s producing. You don’t
need someone to tell you what to look for — you’ve already seen it, fixed it, and learned
from it.
You take ownership of your projects the way most people take ownership of their homes.
When you make a mistake, you own it, fix it, and get better. When someone else makes a
mistake, you don’t file a report and wait — you solve it or escalate it the same hour. You
don’t need your production manager solving problems you should be handling yourself —
especially when he’s 450 miles away in Colorado. You make the people around you more
effective instead of creating more work for them.
You communicate before people have to ask. Whether it’s an HOA board, a property
manager, or a single-family homeowner living through their first remodel, you send the
update before they wonder where it is. You forecast your project timeline from day two and
refine it daily so downstream trades don’t get scheduled last-minute. You upload your notes
the same day without being reminded. When your schedule opens up, you don’t coast —you volunteer for the next thing that needs doing.
You manage to a number, not just a schedule. You understand that delivering a project on
time and on budget are two different standards, and you hit both. You know how material
costs, sub buyout, crew efficiency, and change order capture affect gross margin — and you
manage all of them actively, because you think like someone who has skin in the game.
You hold a New Mexico GB-98 General Building Contractor license, and you understand
what it means to be the qualifying party for a company. It’s not a line on your resume — it’s a
responsibility. You’re the person whose name is on the license, whose judgment determines
whether the work meets code, and whose inspections ensure that every project Bellwether
delivers in New Mexico meets the same standard we’ve built our reputation on in Colorado.
You take that seriously because your professional reputation depends on it — and so does
ours.
If you’ve spent time at a smaller exterior contractor, a franchise restoration system, or a
general contractor and you’re ready for premium certifications, a real production
infrastructure, and comp that rewards execution — this is the move you’ve been looking for.
And if you’ve been the most reliable person on your team and it frustrated you that nobody
else operated at your level, this is the environment where that standard is the baseline.
Experience and Expertise
You bring five to ten years of construction project management experience, with a strong
preference for exterior remodeling, multifamily renovation, or commercial restoration work.
You’ve managed subcontractors, coordinated multiple concurrent projects, and been the
person responsible for what happens on site every day — not someone who reviews reports
from a desk.
You hold an active New Mexico GB-98 General Building Contractor license and are eligible
to serve as Bellwether’s qualifying party, assigning your license exclusively to the company.
You understand New Mexico building codes, permitting requirements, and the inspection
process across jurisdictions in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe markets. This is a non-
negotiable requirement for this role — Bellwether’s ability to operate in New Mexico
depends on it.
Your background includes direct experience with some combination of siding, windows,
doors, roofing, or related exterior trades. You understand installation standards — James
Hardie fiber cement, Pella windows, or equivalent manufacturer-specific requirements. You
can diagnose field issues in real time: substrate problems behind siding, door installations
that are out of plumb, moisture intrusion risks, sheathing that needs replacement.
You’re financially literate. You can read a project P&L, manage to a gross margin target, andexplain where the money went when a project comes in below plan. You’ve done pre-
construction scope reviews, managed material procurement, negotiated sub buyout, and
captured change orders. You understand that a project delivered on time but over budget
isn’t a success.
You’re comfortable with construction management software — Buildertrend, CoConstruct,
Procore, Acculynx, or similar — and field documentation tools like CompanyCam. You know
that thorough, timely documentation isn’t busywork. It’s what allows your production
manager, your coordinator, and your crews to do their jobs without guessing.
Bonus experience that would set you apart:
Familiarity with building envelope science, pressure boundaries, and energy efficiency
principles
Experience with aluminum pergola structures, decking, or exterior coatings in addition to
siding, windows, and doors
OSHA 10 or 30 certification
Experience working in an EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) environment
Established relationships with subcontractors and trade partners in the Albuquerque
and Santa Fe markets
What This Role Demands
This is a ground-floor opportunity to build Bellwether’s New Mexico operation. You won’t be
joining a fully staffed local office — you’ll be the face of the company in this market,
reporting to the Production Manager in Colorado and operating with a level of independence
that most PM roles don’t offer. The work is approximately 60% commercial and multifamily
projects and 40% residential single-family, and that mix will evolve as the market grows.
You’ll manage projects from pre-construction planning through final walkthrough across the
full scope of Bellwether’s services: siding, windows, doors, roofing, decking, aluminum
pergola structures, and related exterior trades. You’ll coordinate material procurement,
manage subcontractor relationships, track budgets in real time, and deliver projects at or
above Bellwether’s gross profit targets. When something goes sideways, you catch it before
it becomes a callback, a blown timeline, or an angry property manager.
As the GB-98 qualifying party, you carry an additional layer of accountability that goes
beyond standard project management. You’re responsible for ensuring code compliance on
every Bellwether project in New Mexico — inspecting work, verifying that installations meet
state and local building codes, and maintaining the licensing standards that allow thecompany to operate. That responsibility is built into the role, not bolted on as an
afterthought.
Your territory will center on the Albuquerque and Santa Fe markets, with projects extending
into mountain and ski communities like Taos. There is real room to grow here. This operation
starts at roughly $2 million in production volume in year one, and the trajectory is tied
directly to your execution and the market’s response to the standard Bellwether brings.
The people who thrive in this kind of role are the ones who see a ground-floor operation and
think opportunity, not risk. If you want to build something, not just manage something, this
is that role.
What Makes Bellwether Different for Someone in This Role
You’re not inheriting chaos. Bellwether has been building systematized workflows,
structured handoffs, and production infrastructure in Colorado for nearly a decade. You’ll
get the benefit of all of that — the tools, the certifications, the processes, and the backing
of a company that invests in doing this right — applied to a new market where you have real
ownership of the outcome.
Your compensation is tied to your performance, not your manager’s mood. We use a
margin-based bonus model where your project execution directly impacts your earnings. If
you deliver projects at or above the gross profit target, you earn more. If you manage
material costs, negotiate sharp sub buyout, maintain crew efficiency, and capture every
change order, you see it in your paycheck.
We hold James Hardie ALLIANCE Elite and Pella Platinum Premier certifications —
credentials that fewer than a dozen companies in the country can claim. That means you’re
building with premium systems and held to a premium standard, and the manufacturer
partnerships are real. You’re not selling a commodity. You’re delivering transformation at a
level most exterior contractors can’t attempt.
We’re not looking for someone to fill a seat. We’re looking for someone who wants to build
Bellwether’s presence in New Mexico — someone who sees the opportunity in being early to
something that’s being done right, with real trajectory and real standards. If that’s you, we
want to talk.
