We share the same vision for operations with a focus on safety, operational excellence, and culture," Austin said.

I look forward to continuing to work closely with Redgie in his expanded role as COO and driving long-term value for our employees, customers, and stockholders."
"I am humbled by the confidence and trust that Duke and the Board of Directors have in me," Probst said. "I am also honored and excited by the opportunity to help lead Quanta. We have an unmatched workforce of great people who are committed to providing comprehensive infrastructure solutions to meet the needs of our clients."
