Pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, the maximum grant date fair value of awards granted to an individual non-employee director in any calendar year may not exceed $400,000. The Board has adopted stock ownership requirements, pursuant to which each non-employee director must own shares of Common Stock (or share equivalents) having a value equal to ten times the director’s annual cash fees for service on the Board (excluding any additional fees for service as the chair of the Board or any committee of the Board and any other compensation or expense reimbursement received by the director) within five years of being elected or appointed to the Board. The Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee evaluates each director’s stock ownership level on an annual basis. At the time of such evaluation, the value of the stock owned by each director is determined by reference to the higher of: (i) the original share (or share equivalent) purchase or issuance price, and (ii) the value of the share (or share equivalent) price at the time of determining compliance with these stock ownership requirements. The Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee may modify these stock ownership requirements in its reasonable discretion and is authorized to make exceptions to these stock ownership requirements when special circumstances arise. All non-employee directors are currently in compliance with these ownership requirements. Directors who are employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries receive no additional compensation for serving as directors. The following table discloses the compensation earned by, or paid or awarded to, as the case may be, each of the Company’s non-employee directors for 2023.

    Independent Compensation Consultant; Use of Market Data In 2023, the Committee retained a compensation consultant, Compensation Advisory Partners, to advise the Committee on the design and administration of the Company’s short-term and long-term incentive compensation programs and to provide a comprehensive analysis of executive compensation survey data and market trends. The Committee reviewed the services provided by Compensation Advisory Partners and believes that Compensation Advisory Partners was independent in providing executive compensation consulting services to the Committee. In making this determination, the Committee noted that during 2023:

  37. Independent Compensation Consultant; Use of Market Data

    | • | Compensation Advisory Partners did not provide any services to the Company or management other than services requested by or with the approval of the Committee, and its services were limited to advising on executive and director compensation-related matters. Specifically, Compensation Advisory Partners did not provide, directly or indirectly through any affiliates, any non-executive employee compensation services, such as pension consulting or human resource outsourcing; | | • | Compensation Advisory Partners maintained a conflicts policy, which was provided to the Committee, with specific policies and procedures designed to ensure independence; | | • | Fees paid to Compensation Advisory Partners by the Company during 2023 were less than 1% of their total revenue; | | • | None of the Compensation Advisory Partners consultants working on Company matters had any business or personal relationship with Committee members; | | • | None of the Compensation Advisory Partners consultants working on Company matters had any business or personal relationship with any executive officer of the Company; and | | • | None of the Compensation Advisory Partners consultants working on Company matters owned Company stock. |

  38. Independent Compensation Consultant; Use of Market Data

    The Committee monitors the independence of its outside consultants on a periodic basis. During 2023, the Committee consulted with Compensation Advisory Partners regarding the Company’s short-term and long-term incentive compensation programs, as well as market trends and executive compensation peer group and other survey data, as described below. Compensation Advisory Partners has provided the Committee with detailed analysis and recommendations on the structure of the Company’s short-term and long-term incentive compensation programs in terms of design, metrics, and payout opportunities, and the Committee intends to continue to periodically refine the Company’s short-term and long-term incentive compensation programs based on a number of factors, including its compensation consultant’s recommendations, market trends in the Company’s industry, and general economic conditions.

  39. Peer Group and the Benchmarking Process

    Peer Group and the Benchmarking Process The Committee reviews executive compensation levels annually using peer group and other survey data provided by its compensation consultant. The Committee does not attempt to set executive compensation at a pre-defined percentile of the market, but the Committee does use comparative data in an effort to be better informed in its executive compensation-related decisions.

  40. Peer Group and the Benchmarking Process

    | | | 2024 Proxy Statement | 35 |

  41. Peer Group and the Benchmarking Process

    The Committee believes that, due to the Company’s unique position in its industry, there are no directly comparable companies in the broader market for the purpose of determining appropriate compensation comparators for the compensation of its executive officers and, for this reason, does not depend solely on a “peer group” to determine executive officer compensation. It does, however, review executive compensation against compensation paid to executive officers holding similar positions in certain select “peer group” companies. For purposes of making 2023 executive compensation decisions, this peer group was as follows:

  42. Peer Group and the Benchmarking Process

    | 2023 PEER GROUP | | | | | | | • | EMCOR Group, Inc. | • | MasTec, Inc. | • | KBR, Inc. | | • | ABM Industries Incorporated | • | Tutor Perini Corporation | • | Valmont Industries, Inc. | | • | Granite Construction Incorporated | • | Dycom Industries, Inc. | • | MYR Group Inc. | | • | Primoris Services Corporation | • | Tetra Tech, Inc. | • | IES Holdings, Inc. | | • | APi Group Corporation | • | Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. | • | Limbach Holdings, Inc. | | • | Ameresco, Inc. | | | | |

  43. Peer Group and the Benchmarking Process

    In determining the appropriateness of the foregoing companies, the Committee, in consultation with Compensation Advisory Partners, considered factors such as historical revenue, the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and total shareholder return, in addition to the primary industry, enterprise value, and market capitalization of each company. In November 2023, this peer group was further refined by the Committee, in consultation with Compensation Advisory Partners and considering these same factors, to add Oshkosh Corporation and MDU Resources Group, Inc., as both companies were identified as peers by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), and the Committee determined that both companies had comparable revenue and market capitalization. The Committee uses a combination of the peer group and survey data from certain other industry companies to provide a general market review of the reasonableness of total compensation levels for the Company’s executive officers; however, the Committee does not use the peer group or survey data for any other purpose or otherwise formally benchmark the compensation of the Company’s executive officers.

  44. Use of Tally Sheets

    Use of Tally Sheets The Committee routinely uses tally sheets to assist it in analyzing executive officers’ total compensation. Tally sheets provide the Committee with information about the following components of compensation paid or granted over the preceding three-year period: cash compensation, including salary and annual incentive compensation, and long-term incentive compensation. These tally sheets also provide an estimate of amounts payable in the event of a voluntary or involuntary termination of employment, including by reason of death, disability, or a change in control resulting in termination of employment. The Committee also reviews information regarding long-term incentive awards, including statistics on share usage, analysis of current “in-the-money” values of outstanding option grants and current values of time-vesting restricted stock unit (“RSU”) and performance-vesting restricted stock unit (“PSU”) awards, and a summary of current and past performance results.

  45. Chief Executive Officer Compensation

    Chief Executive Officer Compensation Each year, the Committee meets in executive session (i.e., separately from management) to evaluate the Chief Executive Officer’s performance and determine his total compensation. The Committee conducts an assessment of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance as well as an assessment of other relevant factors, such as the Company’s performance, individual tenure, and position tenure, and sets the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation for each year based on the Committee’s assessment of these factors. Although the Committee does not attempt to target the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation at any specific percentile of compensation at peer group companies, the Committee does use peer group and other survey data as context in reviewing the Chief Executive Officer’s overall compensation levels and approving compensation actions, as described above. Based on this data, the Committee believes that the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation was below the market median in 2023.

  46. Elements of Compensation

    | | COMPENSATION ELEMENT | OBJECTIVE | KEY CHARACTERISTICS | | | BASE SALARY | • Provide a fixed level of cash compensation for performing day-to-day functions • Attract and retain strong executive talent | • Levels are evaluated annually by the Committee • For 2023, base salaries were established based on a number of factors, including each executive’s performance and time in his or her role, advice from the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, and analysis of peer group and survey data and economic conditions | | | ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN | • Reward annual financial and individual performance | • Target awards are established as a percentage of base salary • The majority of each award’s target opportunity is based on the achievement of objective, pre-established goals related to the Company’s EPS and FCF performance | | | LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARDS | • Reward long-term Company performance • Encourage focus on growing stockholder value • Align management’s interests with stockholders’ interests • Encourage retention of key management employees, stability, and continuity of leadership | • Awards are provided through a combination of time-vesting RSUs and dollar-denominated PSUs • Dollar-denominated PSUs are earned based on the achievement of objective, pre-established performance goals, including total shareholder return relative to certain comparable companies and the Company’s EPS performance • RSUs are subject to a three-year vesting schedule; dollar-denominated PSUs that are earned based on performance cliff vest following the end of a three-year performance period | | | BENEFITS | • Attract and retain strong executive talent • Provide basic financial stability | • Participation in health, welfare, and retirement benefit plans, generally on the same terms as all other full-time employees of the Company |

  47. Elements of Compensation

    While base salaries, together with health, welfare, and retirement benefits, are designed to provide basic compensation and financial stability, the purpose of annual incentive compensation is primarily to encourage the Company’s executive officers to focus on the execution of the Company’s business strategy and plan for the current year. Long-term incentives, granted in the form of RSUs and PSUs, are designed to:

  48. Elements of Compensation

    | • | align executive officers’ interests with those of stockholders; | | • | incentivize them to attain longer-term Company performance goals; and | | • | encourage them to remain with the Company. |

  49. Total Target Compensation Mix

    Total Target Compensation Mix “Average of Other Named Executive Officers” is based on an average of the respective compensation of Messrs. George and McKenna and Mses. Shaeff and Howell and does not include the special one-time grant of RSUs received by Mr. George in November 2023, as described in greater detail below. Because the value that a Named Executive Officer may receive with respect to RSUs will depend on the performance of the Company’s Common Stock, and therefore is variable, we have included these awards as an element of “Variable Pay” in the charts above.

  50. Base Salary

    Base Salary The Committee determines base salary for our executive officers after considering several factors, including the executive’s individual experience, performance, and individual skills. Only after weighing these factors does the Committee consider peer group and/or survey data. The Committee uses executive officers’ performance assessments, Company performance, peer group and other survey data, as described above, and its own analysis of the executive officer’s individual performance to determine each executive’s base salary at least annually. Following its review of peer group and market data and the other factors described above, and taking into account the Company’s strong performance, on December 6, 2022, the Committee approved an increase in each Named Executive Officer’s base salary as set forth in the table below, effective January 1, 2023. The Committee believes that these increases were appropriate to reward the Named Executive Officers and bring their base salaries more in line with the market.

  51. Annual Incentive Plan

    Annual Incentive Plan The Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in a cash-based annual incentive plan and receive incentive bonuses based on actual performance against key business and individual goals. The annual incentive plan consists of two distinct components: a corporate financial performance component and an individual performance component. In 2023, consistent with previous years, the corporate financial performance component of the annual incentive plan rewarded the achievement of EPS and FCF goals (together, the “Corporate Financial Incentive”). The Committee believes that EPS remains an important metric for the Company because it encourages a focus on profitability. The Committee continued the use of FCF as a metric under the annual incentive plan because it incentivizes management’s focus on increasing the Company’s cash flow. The second, smaller, component of the annual incentive plan rewarded the achievement of specified individual performance goals (the “Individual Performance Incentive”). Each year, the Committee determines the threshold, target, and maximum incentive opportunities for the Company’s executive officers, as a percentage of the executive’s base salary. To determine these base salary percentages for each Named Executive Officer for 2023, in addition to historical and projected Company financial performance, the Committee considered the Named Executive Officer’s historical annual incentive levels and the degree to which a Named Executive Officer’s efforts and job function were expected to influence and contribute to the Company’s financial performance. After assigning threshold, target, and maximum base salary percentages for each Named Executive Officer, the Committee then used peer group and other survey data, as described above, to assess the reasonableness of such assigned levels. Target annual incentive opportunities for the Named Executive Officers for 2023 are summarized in the table below, which were unchanged as compared to 2022 targets:

  52. Annual Incentive Plan

    | Named Executive Officer | Target Annual Incentive Opportunity as a Percent of Base Salary | | | | | Target Corporate Financial Incentive | Target Individual Performance Incentive | Total Target Incentive Opportunity | | Brian Lane | 110% | 10% | 120% | | William George | 90% | 10% | 100% | | Trent McKenna | 90% | 10% | 100% | | Laura Howell | 65% | 10% | 75% | | Julie Shaeff | 65% | 10% | 75% |

  53. Annual Incentive Plan

    For the Corporate Financial Incentive, annual incentive opportunities were allocated 70% to the EPS portion and 30% to the FCF portion. For each metric, each Named Executive Officer had a threshold opportunity of 40% of his or her target annual incentive opportunity and a maximum annual incentive opportunity of 200% of his or her target annual incentive opportunity.

  54. Corporate Financial Incentive Criteria

    Corporate Financial Incentive Criteria At the beginning of each year, the Committee sets a threshold, target, and maximum performance level for each corporate performance goal for purposes of the Corporate Financial Incentive component of the annual incentive plan. For each of the Named Executive Officers for 2023, consistent with prior years, the EPS portion of the Corporate Financial Incentive represented 70% of the total Corporate Financial Incentive opportunity, and the FCF portion of the Corporate Financial Incentive represented 30% of the total Corporate Financial Incentive opportunity. If neither the EPS nor FCF thresholds were met, then no portion of the Corporate Financial Incentive would be paid. If only one of the EPS or FCF thresholds were met, then only that portion of the Corporate Financial Incentive would be paid. In setting the EPS and FCF threshold, target, and maximum performance levels, the Committee reviews management’s recommendations and then considers the Company’s historical financial performance as well as projections for the industry and industry historical financial performance and projections. The Committee sets EPS and FCF at levels that it considers aggressive but attainable with the intention that the Named Executive Officers will be encouraged to strive for continued improvement in Company performance, ultimately benefiting the Company’s stockholders, and to continue those efforts even after the EPS and/or FCF threshold performance levels have been achieved. The Committee believes that the added value that results from the Company’s achievement of EPS and/or FCF goals above the threshold performance levels to the Company and its stockholders is sufficient to justify the proportionate increases in amounts paid to the Named Executive Officers for achievement above threshold performance levels.

  55. Corporate Financial Incentive Criteria

    The threshold, target, and maximum performance levels for each of the corporate performance goals for 2023 annual incentives were as set forth in the table below. For performance between threshold, target, and maximum performance levels, the amount that is earned is determined on a straight-line basis.

  56. Corporate Financial Incentive Criteria

    | 2023 Corporate Financial Incentive Goals | | | | EPS | Threshold | $3.82 | | | Target | $5.46 | | | Max | $7.10 | | FCF | Threshold | $142.8M | | | Target | $204.0M | | | Max | $265.2M |

  57. Corporate Financial Incentive Criteria

    For purposes of the annual incentive plan and consistent with previous years, (i) EPS was calculated from the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, except that it did not take into account: (A) goodwill impairment; (B) write-off of debt costs; (C) restructuring charges; (D) any cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles; or (E) any other unusual or non-recurring items as determined by the Committee; and (ii) FCF was calculated by excluding: (A) certain unusual items, as determined by the Committee; and (B) certain items related to acquisitions or sales of businesses, including less customary capital expenditures plus the proceeds from asset sales. FCF is defined as cash flow from operating activities less customary capital expenditures, plus the proceeds from asset sales. In 2023, the Committee adjusted EPS and FCF for purposes of determining levels of achievement under the annual incentive plans as follows. First, the Committee excluded positive effects related to research and development tax credit amounts attributable to prior periods in calculating EPS, as these were unforeseeable when the Committee defined threshold, target, and maximum performance levels. Similarly, the Committee determined that it was appropriate to also exclude the positive effect of a conforming adjustment related to a tax law change pursuant to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Committee also reduced the FCF attainment calculation in 2023 related to the turnaround effect of the payments that were excluded from the 2022 FCF calculation. For 2023, all of these adjustments had the effect of reducing actual EPS and FCF achievement for purposes of the annual incentive plan. For a further discussion of how we calculate EPS and FCF, see the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s EPS and FCF for calculating incentive compensation achievement levels for 2023 were $8.61 and $512.7 million, respectively. The amounts earned by each of the Named Executive Officers in respect of the Corporate Financial Incentive under the annual incentive plan for 2023 are set forth in the table below.

  58. 2023 CORPORATE FINANCIAL INCENTIVE ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS

    | Named Executive Officer | Base Salary $ | EPS Incentive Award Achievement | | FCF Incentive Award Achievement | | Corporate Financial Incentive Awarded | | | | | (As a % of Base Salary) | (In Dollars) $ | (As a % of Base Salary) | (In Dollars) $ | (As a % of Base Salary) | (In Dollars) $ | | Brian Lane | 1,002,000 | 154.0% | 1,543,080 | 66.0% | 661,320 | 220.0% | 2,204,400 | | William George | 633,000 | 126.0% | 797,580 | 54.0% | 341,820 | 180.0% | 1,139,400 | | Trent McKenna | 506,000 | 126.0% | 637,560 | 54.0% | 273,240 | 180.0% | 910,800 | | Laura Howell | 425,000 | 91.0% | 386,750 | 39.0% | 165,750 | 130.0% | 552,500 | | Julie Shaeff | 367,000 | 91.0% | 333,970 | 39.0% | 143,130 | 130.0% | 477,100 |

  59. Individual Performance Incentive

    Individual Performance Incentive In addition to, and independent from, the Corporate Financial Incentive portion of the annual incentive plan, for 2023 each Named Executive Officer was eligible to receive the Individual Performance Incentive, which is annual incentive compensation based on the executive’s achievement of individual performance goals related to the Company’s business and strategy. At the beginning of 2023, each Named Executive Officer, including the Chief Executive Officer, identified individual performance goals for the upcoming year. Each Named Executive Officer’s individual performance goals were discussed and identified in consultation with (i) the Chief Executive Officer, in the case of Messrs. George and McKenna and Ms. Howell, (ii) the Chief Financial Officer, in the case of Ms. Shaeff, and (iii) the Committee, in the case of Mr. Lane. These goals varied depending on the roles and responsibilities for each Named Executive Officer. For 2023, specific goals for each Named Executive Officer included:

  60. Individual Performance Incentive

    | Executive | 2023 Individual Performance Goals | | | Brian Lane | | Advance strategic succession planning initiatives | | | | Improve Company-wide employee safety measure(1) | | | | Achieve Company-wide and corporate diversity and inclusion initiative annual goals | | William George | | Advance strategic acquisition and succession planning initiatives | | | | Improve Company-wide employee safety measure(1) | | | | Achieve Company-wide and corporate diversity and inclusion initiative annual goals | | Trent McKenna | | Accomplish enterprise strategy, professional development, and succession planning goals | | | | Advance strategic service growth initiatives | | | | Improve Company-wide employee safety measure(1) | | | | Achieve Company-wide and corporate diversity and inclusion initiative annual goals | | Laura Howell | | Accomplish cybersecurity strategy priorities | | | | Ensure success of additional sustainability initiative priorities | | | | Improve Company-wide employee safety measure(1) | | | | Achieve Company-wide and corporate diversity and inclusion initiative annual goals | | Julie Shaeff | | Complete 2023 target implementations for ERP strategy | | | | Accomplish certain professional development goals | | | | Improve Company-wide employee safety measure(1) | | | | Achieve Company-wide and corporate diversity and inclusion initiative annual goals |

  61. Long-Term Incentives

    Long-Term Incentives In 2023, LTI grants made to the Named Executive Officers consisted of RSUs and PSUs, the latter of which are denominated in dollar amounts but, once earned, are settled in shares of Common Stock based on the market value of the Common Stock following the end of the applicable performance period. The Committee designs the components and weightings of LTI awards to encourage the achievement of key performance goals and retention and also to balance the performance metrics utilized among the Company’s performance relative to certain comparable companies, the Company’s ongoing profitability, and the performance of the Common Stock. The Committee believes that these awards promote a long-term view and further align the executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders. From 2012 through 2018, the Company’s executive officers were generally granted PSUs, RSUs, and stock options on an annual basis. The Committee modified the structure for LTI awards in March 2019 by removing stock options from annual LTI grants and rebalancing the awards so that 50% of the LTI grant was in the form of RSUs and 50% was in the form of PSUs, based on grant date value and, for PSUs, assuming target performance is achieved. This decision was based, in part, on input from its compensation consultant, and was the first significant structural change since the previous LTI structure was adopted in 2012. The Committee believed that removing stock options and allocating more value to the PSU and RSU awards better aligned the Company’s compensation program with peer and broader market practices. The mix provides a balanced approach to long-term retention through the use of RSU awards while still including a heavy emphasis on performance-based awards through the use of PSUs. The Company’s annual LTI grants for the Named Executive Officers in March 2023 followed this 50% RSU and 50% PSU structure.

    | | | 2024 Proxy Statement | 43 |

  66. Long-Term Incentives

    The Committee believes that LTI compensation should be correlated with salary and short-term incentive compensation. As such, the Committee uses a percentage of each executive officer’s base salary to determine the total dollar amount of the LTI compensation award to be granted to that executive each year, based on grant date values and, for PSUs, assuming target performance is achieved. The Committee determines these percentage levels by analyzing each executive officer’s tenure, responsibilities, and professional experience, recommendations from its compensation consultant based on peer group and other survey data, as described above, and the executive officer’s historical annual LTI compensation levels. For 2023, the following percentage of base salary was used for the Named Executive Officers to determine the grant date value of annual LTI awards: Mr. Lane, 325% of base salary; Mr. George, 170% of base salary; Mr. McKenna, 145% of base salary; Ms. Howell, 100% of base salary; and Ms. Shaeff, 85% of base salary. Following its review of peer group and market data and the other factors described above, and taking into account the Company’s strong performance, on December 6, 2022, the Committee approved an increase in each Named Executive Officer’s annual LTI awards, as a percentage of his or her base salary, as set forth in the table below. The Committee believes that these increases were appropriate to reward the Named Executive Officers, further align their interest with our stockholders, and bring their LTI awards and compensation generally more in line with the market.

  67. Long-Term Incentives

    | Named Executive Officer | 2023 LTI Percentage | 2022 LTI Percentage | | Brian Lane | 325% | 300% | | William George | 170% | 160% | | Trent McKenna | 145% | 130% | | Laura Howell | 100% | 80% | | Julie Shaeff | 85% | 80% |

  68. Long-Term Incentives

    Once each executive officer’s total grant date value is determined, the number of RSUs and the value of PSUs is determined. The number of RSUs granted is determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the RSUs to be granted by the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. PSUs are denominated in dollars. As an illustration, Mr. Lane’s 2023 award of LTI compensation was calculated as follows: Total Amount of Award: 325% of base salary of $1,002,000 equals $3,256,500. RSUs Awarded: 50% of $3,256,500 equals $1,628,250 in value of RSUs. $1,628,250 divided by $141.22 (the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of grant) equals 11,529 RSUs. PSUs Awarded: 50% of $3,256,500 equals $1,628,250 in value of PSUs (dollar-denominated, assuming target performance). The table below sets forth the 2023 annual LTI awards for each of the Named Executive Officers:

  69. Long-Term Incentives

    | Named Executive Officer | Base Salary $ | Salary Percentage For Calculating Plan Awards | Number of RSUs Awarded | Dollar Value of PSUs Awarded (At Target) $ | Value of Awards Under Plan (At Target) $ | | Brian Lane | 1,002,000 | 325% | 11,529 | 1,628,250 | 3,256,500 | | William George | 633,000 | 170% | 3,810 | 538,050 | 1,076,100 | | Trent McKenna | 506,000 | 145% | 2,597 | 366,850 | 733,700 | | Laura Howell | 425,000 | 100% | 1,504 | 212,500 | 425,000 | | Julie Shaeff | 367,000 | 85% | 1,104 | 155,975 | 311,950 |

  70. Long-Term Incentives

    Further, in November 2023, the Committee approved a one-time additional equity award to Mr. George of 25,000 RSUs, in addition to the awards he received during the 2023 annual compensation cycle described above. The Committee granted this award to Mr. George for retention purposes and to reward his historical contributions to the Company, including his role as a founding member of management and his key role in the development of the Company’s acquisition program. The RSUs granted to Mr. George vest in equal annual installments over three years. This special, one-time RSU grant is not included in the tables above for Mr. George, as it was not part of the 2023 annual LTI awards.

  72. PSU DESIGN

    PSU DESIGN Upon vesting, PSUs will be settled in shares of Common Stock, with the number of such shares determined by dividing the dollar value of vested PSUs (which may be up to 200% of the original dollar value of such PSUs) by the market value of the Common Stock following the end of the applicable three-year performance period. PSUs are earned based on the level of achievement of the two goals set forth in the table below, both of which are measured on an annual basis over a three-year performance period, and earned PSUs vest in full upon determination of the level of achievement of the performance metrics by the Committee following the end of the applicable three-year performance period, generally subject to continued employment through the end of the three-year performance period.

  73. PSU DESIGN

    | Performance Measure | Measurement | Percentage of Performance Award Subject to Measure | | Earnings Per Share | • Company’s actual EPS performance relative to pre-established EPS performance goals | • 50% | | Relative Total Shareholder Return | • Company’s performance relative to comparable companies* | • 50% |

  74. PSU DESIGN

    | * For purposes of measuring the Company’s relative total shareholder return for awards granted in 2023, the identified group of comparable companies consists of: Matrix Service Company; Primoris Services Corporation; Tutor Perini Corporation; Stantec Inc.; Dycom Industries Inc.; MasTec, Inc.; Sterling Infrastructure, Inc.; EMCOR Group Inc.; MYR Group, Inc.; Quanta Services, Inc.; Tetra Tech Inc.; Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation; Granite Construction Incorporated; Limbach Holdings, Inc.; and APi Group Corporation. Based on industry analysis and feedback from financial analysts, the Company believes these companies are the most likely to compete with the Company for investment by institutional investors. This group of comparable companies is not used for benchmarking the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. |

  75. Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)

    Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) The relative TSR measure compares the Company’s TSR to the TSR of a specified group of comparable companies, and payouts are determined by the Company’s rank relative to others in the group. For each year in the three-year performance period, TSR is calculated by determining the difference between the average closing price of a company’s common stock during the first 30 consecutive days of the year and the last 30 consecutive days of the year. The calculation assumes that dividends are reinvested in additional shares. The Company’s TSR is then compared against the TSR for other companies in the group and assigned a percentile ranking. The Company’s TSR percentile ranking for each of the three years in the performance period are then averaged together to determine the final percentile ranking upon which the payout, if any, will be earned. The following chart shows the range of potential settlement of the PSUs based on the two performance measures, as a percentage of the target amount. The number of PSUs that may be earned ranges from 0% to 200% of the target award amount.

  76. Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)

  79. RULE OF 75

    RULE OF 75 The “Rule of 75” provides that if an executive officer retires from the Company at a time when the sum of his or her age and his or her years of service at the Company is greater than or equal to 75, then upon the executive’s retirement, the executive will generally have been deemed to have satisfied the continuous employment requirement for any equity award to vest (unless the award provides otherwise). Pursuant to the Rule of 75, all performance-based equity awards will continue to be earned only if the applicable performance measures are satisfied and only up to a maximum of target value, but the requirement that the executive be employed by the Company at the time of vesting based on performance will be deemed to be satisfied. As of December 31, 2023, Messrs. Lane and George and Ms. Shaeff satisfied the Rule of 75.

  80. Change in Control and Severance Benefits

    Change in Control and Severance Benefits The Named Executive Officers and other members of senior management serve as at-will employees of the Company without any guaranteed period of employment. However, the Committee believes that an executive severance policy paired with change in control agreements provide appropriate protections to attract and retain qualified and talented individuals to serve as the Company’s executive officers, permit the Company’s executive officers to focus fully on improving the Company’s operations and long-term success, and protect stockholder value by providing continuity of management during any transition period. The severance and change in control benefits are intended to be set at market-competitive levels and help ensure that the Company can attract and retain talented executive officers. These benefits also help ensure that executive officers remain focused on maximizing stockholder value in the context of an actual or potential transaction that might result in the loss or the diminution of their current positions. The Company believes that these benefits are reasonable and ultimately benefit stockholders. The executive severance policy and change in control agreements are more fully described below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

  85. Summary Compensation Table

    | (1) Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of PSUs and RSUs granted to the Named Executive Officers in the applicable year. The aggregate grant date fair value of these awards was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2023, as applicable, for a discussion of the relevant assumptions used in calculating the value of these awards. For these purposes, the grant date fair value of the PSUs is computed based on performance at the target level, the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the date of grant, and the grant date fair value of RSUs is equal to the number of RSUs granted multiplied by the closing stock price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The aggregate grant date fair value will likely vary from the actual amount the Named Executive Officers receive in respect of the PSUs and RSUs, based on a number of factors, including stock price fluctuations and variances from valuation assumptions. | | The PSUs are denominated in dollars and, to the extent they are earned and vest, will be settled in Common Stock based on the market value of the Common Stock following the applicable performance period. PSUs are earned if, and to the degree that, the Company meets certain objective, pre-established performance goals relating to total shareholder return compared to a specified group of comparable companies and EPS performance each year over a three-year performance period and generally vest only if the Named Executive Officer remains employed by the Company through such performance period. The aggregate grant date fair value of the PSUs granted during 2023, assuming achievement of the highest level of performance, was $3,256,500 for Mr. Lane; $1,076,100 for Mr. George; $733,700 for Mr. McKenna; $425,000 for Ms. Howell; and $311,950 for Ms. Shaeff. The aggregate grant date fair value of the PSUs granted during 2022, assuming achievement of the highest level of performance, was $2,613,600 for Mr. Lane; $880,000 for Mr. George; $572,000 for Mr. McKenna; $280,000 for Ms. Howell; and $266,400 for Ms. Shaeff. The aggregate grant date fair value of the PSUs granted during 2021, assuming achievement of the highest level of performance, was $2,376,000 for Mr. Lane; $800,000 for Mr. George; $460,000 for Mr. McKenna; $225,000 for Ms. Howell; and $253,600 for Ms. Shaeff. | | The RSUs are scheduled to vest over three years, generally subject to the Named Executive Officer’s continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting date. | | (2) Reflects a one-time payment for each Named Executive Officer equal to 10% of such Named Executive Officer’s above-listed 2022 base salary and approved by the Committee in March 2022 to reward efforts from prior years to obtain tax credits for the Company’s research and development efforts given that the Committee decided that positive impacts to EPS and FCF would be excluded from annual incentive compensation calculations. | | (3) Reflects annual incentive plan awards earned in the applicable year based upon the satisfaction of specified performance goals. To avoid duplication, the 2022 amounts specifically exclude the one-time bonus payments referenced above. For more information on the annual incentive compensation paid to Named Executive Officers for 2023, see the subsection of the CD&A titled “Annual Incentive Plan.” | | (4) Reflects the following amounts for 2023: |

  91. Grants of Plan-Based Awards

    | (1) Reflects amounts payable under 2023 annual incentive plan awards based on individual and Company performance for 2023, which are described in greater detail in the subsection of the CD&A titled “Annual Incentive Plan.” Goals under the Individual Performance Incentive component of annual incentive plan awards are measured on a scale of 0% - 200% and do not have a threshold payment level. For purposes of this table, it is assumed that each Named Executive Officer realizes (a) 40% of the Corporate Financial Incentive at threshold, 100% at target, and 200% at maximum, and (b) 50% of the Individual Performance Incentive at threshold, 100% at target, and 200% at maximum. | | (2) Reflects amounts payable under dollar-denominated PSUs granted as part of each Named Executive Officer’s 2023 LTI awards based on the satisfaction of Company performance goals applicable to the PSUs. The threshold amount is calculated based on the minimum amount that a Named Executive Officer could earn with respect to the PSUs, calculated as if the EPS performance goal were achieved at the minimum level of performance that would result in a portion of the PSUs being earned and as if the minimum level of performance to earn PSUs based on the relative TSR performance goal were not achieved. For additional information about the PSU awards, see footnote 1 of the Summary Compensation Table and the subsection of the CD&A titled “Long-Term Incentives.” | | (3) Reflects RSUs granted as part of each Named Executive Officer’s 2023 annual LTI awards. Also includes the one-time grant of RSUs granted to Mr. George in November 2023 outside of the annual LTI cycle. For additional information about the RSU awards, see footnote 1 of the Summary Compensation Table and the subsection of the CD&A titled “Long-Term Incentives.” | | (4) Reflects the grant date fair value of LTI awards, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. For the RSUs, the value is equal to the number of RSUs multiplied by the closing stock price of the Common Stock on the date of grant. For the PSUs, the value is determined as the value at the grant date based on the probable outcome of the performance conditions. For a discussion of valuation assumptions, see Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and for the maximum value of these awards at grant, see footnote 1 to the Summary Compensation Table above. |

    | (1) No Named Executive Officer held any unexercisable options as of December 31, 2023. | | (2) Mr. Lane’s 26,387 unvested RSUs consist of 13,923 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2024, 8,621 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2025, and 3,843 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2026, in each case, generally subject to his continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. | | Mr. George’s 33,812 unvested RSUs consist of 4,663 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2024, 8,333 RSUs scheduled to vest on December 1st of 2024, 2,879 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2025, 8,334 RSUs scheduled to vest on December 1st of 2025, 1,270 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2026, and 8,333 RSUs scheduled to vest on December 1st of 2026, in each case, generally subject to his continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. | | Mr. McKenna’s 5,714 unvested RSUs consist of 2,937 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2024, 1,911 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2025, and 866 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2026, in each case, generally subject to his continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. | | Ms. Howell’s 3,029 unvested RSUs consist of 1,514 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2024, 1,014 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2025, and 501 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2026, in each case, generally subject to her continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. | | Ms. Shaeff’s 2,644 unvested RSUs consist of 1,421 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2024, 855 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2025, and 368 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2026, in each case, generally subject to her continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. | | The number of units in the bottom most row of this column for each Named Executive Officer relates to the PSU awards granted for the 2021-2023 performance period. The three-year average performance payout factor for the EPS component of these awards was 200%. The three-year average performance payout factor for the relative TSR component of these awards was 200%. For purposes of this table, the number of units has been determined by dividing the cash value of the portion of the awards earned based on actual performance by $205.67, the closing price of a share of Common Stock on December 29, 2023 (the final trading day of 2023). The actual number of shares that were delivered in respect of these awards was determined by dividing the cash value of the awards earned based on actual performance by $314.31, the closing price of a share of Common Stock on March 20, 2024, the date when the performance was determined by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. | | (3) The market value is based on the closing price of a share of Common Stock ($205.67) as of December 29, 2023 (the final trading day of 2023) for unvested RSUs, and is based on the actual dollar amount earned under the PSU awards for the 2021-2023 performance period, given that these awards are dollar-denominated awards. | | (4) The number of shares in this column relates to outstanding PSU awards for the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 performance periods, with the PSU awards for the 2022-2024 performance period in the bottom most row of this column for each Named Executive Officer. The number of shares underlying PSU awards is determined by calculating the market value of shares of Common Stock underlying such PSU awards assuming maximum performance is achieved, as described in more detail in footnote 5 below, divided by the closing price of a share of Common Stock ($205.67) as of December 29, 2023 (the final trading day of 2023). The actual number of shares that will be delivered in respect of outstanding PSU awards will depend on the performance achieved for the relevant performance periods and the market value of shares of Common Stock on the date of delivery. | | (5) PSU awards are denominated in dollar amounts and are settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock following the end of the applicable performance period. PSU awards are subject to both time-based and performance-based vesting and vest only to the extent that the relevant performance metrics are achieved during the applicable performance period. Thus, at any time prior to the end of the applicable performance period, the exact number of shares of Common Stock underlying unvested PSU awards is not readily identifiable. Instead, the Company has included the dollar value that a Named Executive Officer would earn under outstanding PSU awards for each of the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 performance periods assuming achievement of maximum performance, with the dollar value for the 2022-2024 performance period in the bottom most row of this column for each Named Executive Officer. |

  101. Option Exercises and Stock Vested

    | (1) The value realized on the exercise of stock options is the difference between (a) the price at which the shares of Common Stock were sold upon exercise of the stock option on the date of exercise (or, if inapplicable due to a cash exercise, the closing price of the Common Stock on the date of exercise), and (b) the exercise price of the option. | | (2) The value realized on the vesting of RSU awards is determined based on the average of the high and low price of the Common Stock on the vesting date. | | (3) Represents PSUs that were earned with respect to the 2020-2022 performance period and that were settled in early 2023. The value realized on the vesting of PSU awards is calculated based on the closing price of the Common Stock on March 21, 2023, the date when the performance was determined by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. |

Under the Executive Severance Policy, in addition to providing outplacement assistance of up to $50,000 and reimbursing former executive officers’ insurance premiums for continuing COBRA coverage under the Company’s policies for up to 12 months if they do not have insurance coverage available through another employer, the Company will pay a lump-sum amount equal to (i) the sum of the executive officer’s current base salary plus bonus (consisting of the greater of the average annual incentive plan bonus paid during the last three years or the annual incentive plan bonus for the year of termination of employment, determined following completion of the applicable performance period pursuant to the goals established for such bonus), times (ii) the applicable multiplier set forth below, if an executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, and not due to death or disability:

  106. Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

    | • | Two times such amounts for the Chief Executive Officer or the President; | | • | One and one-half times such amounts for the Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, or an Executive Vice President; | | • | One times such amounts for the Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel, and certain specified Senior Vice Presidents; and | | • | One-half times such amounts for any other employees who have been subject to reporting under Section 16 of the Exchange Act while employed by the Company or who have been otherwise designated by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee to participate in the plan, but not at a different participation level. |

  107. Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

    In the case of death or disability, the Executive Severance Policy provides for the Company’s payment of a one-time lump-sum amount equal to the executive’s annual base salary reduced by any benefits payable under Company-paid life or disability insurance policies. No amounts are paid under the policy on a voluntary termination of employment or a termination of employment by the Company for cause. The change in control agreements with the Named Executive Officers provide severance benefits in connection with certain qualifying terminations following a change in control. Severance benefits under the change in control agreements are triggered in case of a termination of employment by the Company (or its successor) without cause or by the executive for good reason, in each case, within 12 months following the change in control event. The current change in control agreements with Messrs. Lane and George and Ms. Shaeff also provide for severance benefits if the executive resigns from the Company (with or without good reason) within 90 days following the change in control event. As we have previously disclosed, new change in control agreements entered into after February 2014 do not include this feature, and, as such, it is not included in either Mr. McKenna’s or Ms. Howell’s change in control agreement. In addition to reimbursement of the former executive officers’ insurance premiums for continuing COBRA coverage under the Company’s policies for up to 12 months if they do not have insurance coverage available through another employer, these agreements provide for the Company’s payment of a lump-sum amount equal to (i) the sum of the officer’s current base salary plus bonus (the greater of the average incentive plan bonus paid during the last three years or annual incentive plan bonus for the year of termination of employment, determined following completion of the applicable performance period pursuant to the goals established for such bonus), times (ii) the applicable multiplier set forth below, to the Named Executive Officers upon a qualifying termination of employment within 12 months following a change in control event:

  108. Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

    | • | Two times such amounts for Messrs. Lane, George, and McKenna; and | | • | One times such amounts for Mses. Shaeff and Howell. |

  109. Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

    Under the change in control agreements, Messrs. Lane and George and Ms. Shaeff may be entitled to so-called golden parachute excise tax gross ups in connection with change in control payments in certain circumstances. The Company eliminated the practice of providing for gross-up payments in change in control or other agreements on a going-forward basis, starting in 2013. Under the change in control agreements, unvested equity awards held by the Named Executive Officers vest in full upon a change in control, with PSUs vesting at target levels. Regardless of the reason for termination, the Named Executive Officers must execute a release of claims and are subject to a one-year non-compete agreement in order to receive any severance benefits under the change in control agreements or Executive Severance Policy. As described above, holders of outstanding equity awards who meet the age and service requirements under the “Rule of 75” will, upon the holder’s retirement, generally be deemed to have satisfied the continuous employment requirement for any equity award to vest, unless the equity award specifies otherwise. Pursuant to the Rule of 75, all performance-based equity awards will continue to be earned only if the applicable performance measures are satisfied and only up to a maximum of target value, but the requirement that the executive be employed by the Company at the time of vesting based on performance will be deemed to have been satisfied. As of December 31, 2023, Messrs. Lane and George and Ms. Shaeff satisfied the Rule of 75.

  111. Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

    If Mr. Lane had retired on December 31, 2023, he would be deemed to have satisfied the continuous employment requirement for purposes of vesting in: (1) 26,387 RSUs, consisting of 13,923 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2024, 8,621 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2025, and 3,843 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2026; and (2) if applicable performance measures are satisfied, PSUs granted in 2021 with a target value of $1,188,000, PSUs granted in 2022 with a target value of $1,306,800, and PSUs granted in 2023 with a target value of $1,628,250, each of which would vest in the year following the performance period, to the extent earned based on performance and only up to target value, on the date on which the performance is determined by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. If Mr. George had retired on December 31, 2023, he would be deemed to have satisfied the continuous employment requirement for purposes of vesting in: (1) 8,812 RSUs consisting of 4,663 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2024, 2,879 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2025, and 1,270 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2026; and (2) if applicable performance measures are satisfied, PSUs granted in 2021 with a target value of $400,000, PSUs granted in 2022 with a target value of $440,000, and PSUs granted in 2023 with a target value of $538,050, each of which would vest in the year following the performance period, to the extent earned based on performance and only up to target value, on the date on which the performance is determined by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee. Mr. George’s one-time grant of 25,000 RSUs in November 2023 does not include any “Rule of 75” vesting provisions and, as a result, would have been forfeited upon retirement on December 31, 2023. If Ms. Shaeff had retired on December 31, 2023, she would be deemed to have satisfied the continuous employment requirement for purposes of vesting in: (1) 2,644 RSUs consisting of 1,421 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2024, 855 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2025, and 368 RSUs scheduled to vest on April 1st of 2026; and (2) if applicable performance measures are satisfied, PSUs granted in 2021 with a target value of $126,800, PSUs granted in 2022 with a target value of $133,200, and PSUs granted in 2023 with a target value of $155,975, each of which would vest in the year following the performance period, to the extent earned based on performance and only up to target value, on the date on which the performance is determined by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee.

    | (1) The Company maintains life insurance for each of the Named Executive Officers in an amount equal to the Named Executive Officer’s annual base salary, up to a maximum of $500,000. The death benefit contained in the Executive Severance Policy is paid net of insurance proceeds. | | (2) The Company maintains disability insurance for each of the Named Executive Officers in an amount equal to the Named Executive Officer’s annual base salary, up to a maximum of $500,000. The disability benefit contained in the Executive Severance Policy is paid net of insurance proceeds. | | (3) Consists of two times the sum of current base salary plus bonus (the greater of the average annual incentive plan bonus paid during the last three years or the annual incentive plan bonus for the year of termination of employment, determined following completion of the applicable performance period pursuant to the goals and objectives established for such bonus) for Mr. Lane; one and one-half times such amounts for Messrs. George and McKenna; and one times such amounts for Mses. Howell and Shaeff. In addition, the following amounts are included in the total for each executive as an estimate of one year of COBRA premium reimbursements payable by the Company to the Named Executive Officer over the 12-month period following termination: Mr. Lane—$20,644; Mr. George—$22,629; Mr. McKenna—$19,978; Ms. Howell—$0; and Ms. Shaeff—$16,651. These COBRA reimbursements would be made by the Company to the Named Executive Officer, and they would cease if the Named Executive Officer obtained other insurance coverage. In no event would these COBRA premium reimbursements be paid for more than 12 months. The total amount also reflects an estimate of $25,000 for outplacement services, which services are provided for in the Executive Severance Policy in an amount not to exceed $50,000. |
