James F. ONeil III To Become CEO
HOUSTON March 24, 2011 Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR) today announced that
chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) John R. Colson will assume the role of executive
chairman of the board on May 19, 2011, and that president and chief operating officer (COO) James
F. ONeil III will succeed Colson as CEO at that time. ONeil will continue to hold the position
of president.
After thirteen years at the helm of Quanta, it is time to transition the leadership of the
companys day-to-day operations, said Colson. I look forward to continuing to work with Jim
ONeil and other members of the executive team as we further capitalize on our unique opportunity
to deliver infrastructure solutions and strengthen our company.
Colson, 63, is one of the founders of Quanta. In his new, full-time role, Colson will remain
actively involved with the company, working with ONeil and the executive team on strategic
acquisitions and investments, international expansion and the long-term direction of the company.
I have tremendous respect for Jims abilities and confidence in his leadership, said Colson. As
an experienced operations executive, Jim has an exceptional background for the CEO role. He spent
eleven years in management at Quanta, including his role as president and COO since 2008. He is
one of the veterans of the Quanta management team, having joined us early in our development, and
has led an increasingly broad set of functional groups at our company over the years. Id like to
congratulate Jim and I look forward to working with him on his transition into the CEO role over
the next two months.
ONeil, 52, has served as Quantas president and COO since October 2008, as senior vice president
of operations integration and audit from December 2002 until October 2008, and as vice president of
operations integration from August 1999 until December 2002. ONeil holds a Bachelor of Science
degree in civil engineering from Tulane University.
Under Johns vision and leadership, Quanta has become the leading infrastructure service provider
in the industries we serve, said ONeil. I am honored to be named to this position and will
continue to build on the foundation that has made our organization successful. We have the best
team in the industry, and I look forward to leveraging our strengths to maintain our market-leading
position and deliver sustained profitable growth.
