About this file
This is a wage rate schedule document from the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions (DWS) establishing prevailing wage rates for Type "H" Heavy Engineering construction classifications effective January 1, 2026. The schedule applies to public works projects in New Mexico and covers multiple trade classifications across various counties, with specific regional variations for areas including Los Alamos County, San Juan County, Curry, DeBaca, Quay, Roosevelt, Dona Ana, Otero, Eddy, and Lea counties. The document provides comprehensive wage data for skilled trades including electricians (outside and inside classifications across multiple zones), operators, laborers, truck drivers, carpenters, plumbers, ironworkers, roofers, and various specialized construction trades. Each classification lists base rates, fringe rates, and apprenticeship rates, with base rates ranging from $20.76 per hour for unskilled laborers to $58.28 per hour for cable splicers in Los Alamos locations.
All contractors performing work on projects subject to these prevailing wage requirements must comply with the established base rates, fringe benefits, and apprenticeship rates for the applicable trade classification and geographic location. Contractors are additionally required to pay subsistence, zone, and incentive pay according to the particular trade, with detailed information available through the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions public works website or by contacting the Labor Relations Division at (505) 841-4400. These rates represent the minimum compensation required for workers on covered public works projects and serve to standardize labor costs across the state while protecting worker compensation standards on government-funded construction initiatives.
