NEI General Contracting is pleased to announce that Marisa Somers, LEED AP has been promoted to project executive. Since joining NEI in 2017, Marisa has been an asset to the company and its projects.

In her new role, Marisa will leverage her 18 years of experience to organize and execute projects and trades to achieve maximum construction and cost efficiency. She will be involved with the preconstruction process to assist with the definition of the project scope, document development, and project scheduling and phasing.

Marisa has always seen herself in an executive role and wanted to work for a company that gave her the opportunity to grow and to take on more responsibility and she found that with NEI. “NEI believed in me and gave me the space and support I needed to take my career to the next level,” she said.

Marisa most recently completed Holtzer Park, a 70,000sf development in Jamaica Plain with 62 affordable rental apartments, and Holmes Beverly, a 67,000sf, 6-story, transit-oriented mixed-use development located adjacent to the Beverly Depot commuter rail station in the heart of downtown Beverly, Mass. She is currently working on Dudley Crossing in Roxbury, Mass., a 47-unit preservation project that includes the construction of a new 24-unit Passive House building and a historic renovation of another 9-unit building.

Marisa is a LEED AP and a PHIUS Certified Builder.
