Two former executives of a family-owned electrical contractor acquired by Quanta Electric Power Services LLC in 2021 now are suing the largest U.S. specialty contractor to have a judge nullify non-compete agreements they signed before the deal.
Clint and Kerry Sharber, ex-vice president of operations and division leader, respectively, of Madisonville, Ky.-based William E. Groves Construction Inc. both worked for the firm founded by their grandfather from the early 2000s until just after the family sold it to Quanta, according to a June 20 complaint filed in Hopkins County Circuit Court.
Quanta Electric is a unit of Houston-based Quanta Services, which topped ENR’s 2021 Top 600 Specialty Contractors list.
