This week we hosted students from South Louisiana Community Collegeโ€™s IT & Electronics program, STEM (Pre-Engineering) program, and Early College Academy for tours of our facility. They walked through the Engineering Lab, Manufacturing floor and Warehouse, and our team answered questions about what the work looks like day to day. Thanks to SoLaCC for partnering with us to showcase what we do and share your students with us.
We may have met a few future Pelicans!

October is Manufacturing Month, and last week we had the chance to open our doors to students from Acadiana High School and David Thibodeaux STEM Magnet Academy.

Thank you, Ryan LaGrange, MBA, SHRM-SCP, at the Lafayette Economic Development Authority (LEDA) for organizing these tours, and to the Lafayette Parish School System for choosing Pelican Engineering as a stop. We were honored to host both groups.

The students walked through the lab, warehouse, and manufacturing floor to see how a product moves from an idea to a finished build here in Lafayette. Their questions were sharp, and we hope a few of them will be back someday as engineers or technicians.

We look forward to hosting more tours soon!

We are proud to announce the appointment of Justin Courville, PE, PMP as the new Chief Executive Officer of Pelican Engineering.

Justin previously founded Project JRC, which joined forces with Pelican Engineering in 2025 to expand service offerings, increase capacity, and create a more complete solution for clients. Since then, he has worked alongside founder James Palmer and the Pelican team to support the company's operations, customer relationships, and long-term direction.

In his new role, Justin is focused on building upon the strong foundation established by James and the team. His goal is to ensure Pelican continues to be the firm customers turn to for a complete solution under one roof, delivered with excellence, responsiveness, and a clear understanding of the business problems they need solved.

This transition allows James to return his full focus to what he does best: solving hard engineering problems and advancing our capabilities through technical special projects.

For our partners across the energy, medical, and industrial sectors, it is business as usual. All existing projects, timelines, and points of contact remain seamlessly in place. We look forward to this next chapter and continuing to serve as your complete engineering partner.

Our team spent last Friday touring First Solar's New Iberia facility, over 2 million square feet of fabrication, assembly, and packaging under one huge roof. The scale alone was worth seeing in person.

What stuck with us, though, was something Georges Antoun said during the visit. He told our group he'd pushed hard to being solar module manufacturing to Acadiana specifically because of the density of technical talent here, drawn from local schools and the industries that have been built around them.

This is the same type of talent we've built Pelican Engineering around, and watching more technology and hardware companies plant flags in the region for the same reason is encouraging. We think it will result in tremendous growth in our community and beyond.

Thanks to the First Solar team for hosting us.
