Insights

Fluor outlines an orderly board leadership transition while adding an independent director.

The company is transitioning from Executive Chairman David Constable to current Lead Independent Director James Hackett as Board Chair around the May 2026 annual meeting. Keeping Constable as a paid consultant for one year at $525,200 maintains access to his experience during the handover.

Board size increases to twelve with the election of independent director Robert Card, who joins the Audit and Commercial Strategies and Operational Risk Committees. This adds expertise and maintains independence under NYSE standards. Future disclosures in the March 31, 2026 Form 10-Q will include the full consulting agreement.
