The MasTec-Ready Package

What MasTec Program Subs Are Asked to Carry

The package MasTec-company subs are typically asked to carry — requirements vary by operating company and customer program, so always confirm your subcontract’s exhibit:

General Liability

$1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate with additional insured status for the contracting entity — ongoing and completed operations — primary and non-contributory, with a waiver of subrogation. Endorsements on the policy, not description-box promises.

$1M / $2MAI + WaiverPrimary & Non-Contrib

Workers’ Comp + Employers’ Liability

Statutory workers’ comp in every state your crews touch, with $1M employers liability. Compliance systems verify comp per state — multi-state crews need multi-state endorsement, not assumptions.

Statutory$1M ELMulti-State

Commercial Auto

$1M combined single limit across owned, hired, and non-owned vehicles — with fleet and radius rated for how the routes actually run.

$1M CSLFleet RatedHired & Non-Owned

Umbrella / Excess

$2M–$5M over GL, auto, and employers liability on larger scopes and programs with higher flow-down limits. Following-form, so it inherits the endorsements underneath.

$2M–$5MFollowing Form

Pollution Liability

Boring, trenching, and underground scopes increasingly carry pollution requirements — drilling fluid, fuel, and disturbed soil are excluded by GL. Our CPL page covers the details.

Underground ScopesFrac-OutCPL

Family-of-Companies Paper

Like the other mega-primes, MasTec operates through multiple legal entities — your work order may come from Henkels & McCoy or another operating company. Certificates must name that entity exactly, and utility-segment scopes can carry utility-grade specs on top of telecom norms.

Why Choose Us

MasTec Subcontractor Specialists

Generic agents quote limits off a checklist. We build to the program — endorsements, entities, platforms, and the scope your crews actually run.

01

Prime-Grade Compliance, Handled

We keep your program matched to the strictest requirement across MasTec companies you touch — one package, every route sheet — with certificates that survive platform review.

02

Endorsements That Survive Review

Additional insured on GL and auto, waivers where required, primary and non-contributory backed by actual endorsements — the details compliance platforms bounce certificates over.

03

Renewal-Proof Certificates

Renewal certs issued before expiration, because program compliance systems flag lapses automatically and stopped POs cost more than premium ever will.

04

Underground Scopes Done Right

Boring and trenching subs get WC class codes that match the work, XCU-clean GL, and pollution liability priced up front.

FAQ — MasTec Subcontractors

MasTec Subcontractor Insurance Questions

What crews ask before taking MasTec work.

What insurance do MasTec subcontractors need?

The typical floor across communications programs: $1M/$2M GL with additional insured status (ongoing and completed ops), primary and non-contributory, waivers of subrogation, statutory workers comp with $1M employers liability, and $1M CSL auto. Utility-segment scopes and larger programs push umbrella requirements of $2M–$5M and add pollution liability for underground work.

Does my COI name MasTec or the operating company?

Name the entity on your subcontract — often an operating company such as Henkels & McCoy rather than MasTec itself. Wrong-entity certificates are a routine onboarding stall across all the family-of-companies primes.

Do MasTec programs use compliance platforms?

Commonly, yes — expect verification through contractor-management systems (ISNetworld and similar) with automated flagging of lapses and endorsement gaps. Renewal certificates need to land before expiration, not after.

How fast can a crew get compliant for a MasTec-company job?

With scope, payroll, and vehicle details ready: quoted and bound within a business day, entity-correct certificates same day after binding.

Based on the requirements MasTec program subcontractors are typically asked to meet; confirm the insurance exhibit in your own subcontract — terms vary by entity, scope, and program.
