We want to give a huge shoutout to these three incredible ladies—the unofficial Port Arthur Location Fun Committee.
They consistently go above and beyond to make sure our shipyard employees feel appreciated and supported. From organizing events to boosting morale, their impact doesn’t go unnoticed.
It’s people like this who help build a strong culture at Gulf Copper. We appreciate everything you do.

Great opportunity representing Gulf Copper at the Port Arthur Job Fair.
Strong turnout and even stronger conversations with talented individuals across Southeast Texas. There’s real interest in skilled trades and long-term careers, and we’re in a great position to deliver.
With the momentum from our partnership with Davie, Gulf Copper is continuing to grow and create sustainable career paths that support the future of shipbuilding along the Gulf Coast.
We also highlighted our Shipfitter Apprenticeship Program with Lamar State College Port Arthur, giving individuals the chance to earn while they learn and build a solid career from day one.

Nothing better than celebrating a win with the crew that made it happen.

We hit a major milestone on our "Mack Drilling" project with the successful delivery of two additional modules and took a moment to recognize the team behind it.
These projects don’t happen overnight. They’re built on long days, skill, and a lot of teamwork out in the yard.

Crawfish, cold drinks, and a solid group of people. Well deserved.

Proud of this team and what’s ahead.
