The remainder of the company's work is generated pursuant to contracts for specific projects or jobs that require the construction or installation of an entire infrastructure system or specified units within an infrastructure system.
The company seeks to grow and diversify its business both organically and through acquisitions and/or strategic arrangements in order to deepen the company's market presence and customer base, broaden the company's geographic reach and expand the company's service offerings. In 2021, the company initiated a significant transformation of the company's end-market business operations to focus on the nation's transition to low-carbon energy sources and position the company for expected future opportunities. This transformation included significant business combination activity, including expansion of the company's scale and capacity in renewable energy, power delivery, heavy civil and telecommunications services.
The company manages its operations under five operating segments, which represent the company's five reportable segments: (1) Communications; (2) Clean Energy and Infrastructure; (3) Power Delivery; (4) Oil and Gas and (5) Other. This structure is generally focused on broad end-user markets for the company's labor-based construction services.
The company's Communications segment performs engineering, construction, maintenance and customer fulfillment activities related to communications infrastructure, primarily for wireless and wireline/fiber communications and install-to-the-home customers, as well as infrastructure for utilities, among others.
The company's Clean Energy and Infrastructure segment primarily serves energy, utility, government and other end-markets through the installation and construction of power generation facilities, primarily from clean energy and renewable sources, such as wind, solar, biomass, natural gas and hydrogen, as well as battery storage systems for renewable energy; various types of heavy civil and industrial infrastructure, including roads, bridges and rail; and environmental remediation services.
The company's Power Delivery segment primarily serves the energy and utility industries through the engineering, construction and maintenance of power transmission and distribution infrastructure, including electrical and gas transmission lines, distribution network systems and substations; and environmental planning and compliance services.
The company's Oil and Gas segment performs engineering, construction, maintenance and other services for pipeline infrastructure, including natural gas, water and carbon capture sequestration pipelines, as well as pipeline integrity and other services for the energy and utilities industries.
The Other segment includes certain equity investees, the services of which may vary from those provided by the company's primary segments, as well as other small business units with activities in certain international end-markets.

The company's upgrade work ranges from routine replacements and upgrades to major overhauls.
Customers
The company has longstanding relationships with many customers, and often provides services under master service and other service agreements, which are generally multi-year agreements. The company's master service agreements are typically exclusive up to a specified dollar amount per work order for each defined geographic area, but do not obligate the company's customers to undertake any infrastructure projects or other work with the company. Work performed under master service and other service agreements is usually generated through work orders, each of which is performed for a fixed fee. Services provided under these agreements range from construction, installation, maintenance and upgrade services to project management and engineering services. Master service and other service agreements are frequently awarded on a competitive bidding basis, although customers are sometimes willing to negotiate contract extensions beyond their original terms without re-bidding. The company's master service and other service agreements have various terms, depending upon the nature of the services provided, and typically provide for termination on short or no advance notice.
Sales and Marketing
The company's customers increasingly require resources from multiple disciplines. Therefore, the company's subsidiary services companies market their services not only individually, but also in combination with other companies, including other MasTec companies and independent companies, to provide what the company believe are the most efficient and effective solutions to meet the company's customers' demands. Through the company's unified MasTec brand and an integrated organizational structure designed to permit rapid deployment of the company's services, the company is able to quickly and efficiently allocate resources to meet customer needs. The company offers services that are branded under the MasTec service mark and other service marks.
The company has a business development and marketing plan emphasizing the MasTec registered service mark and trade names of certain acquired companies, as well as an integrated service offering to position itself as a provider of a full range of service solutions, providing services including installation as well as sophisticated engineering, design and integration. The company's longstanding relationships with its customers, industry expertise and the company's reputation for reliability, efficiency and customer service facilitate the company's potential and recurring business relationships. The company's marketing efforts are principally carried out by the management of the company's business units and project groups in coordination with the company's corporate business development organization. The company's business unit and project group managers market directly to existing and potential customers for new contracts and also seek the company's inclusion on lists of vendors invited to submit proposals for service agreements and individual projects. The company also markets its services in conjunction with certain business partners, strategic investments and other arrangements. The company's executive management team supplements these efforts at the national level.
