GROUP Industries
Business Development Manager
When Lance Arvel decided to leave college because it didn’t seem like the right fit, he wasn’t quite sure what was next.
His path led him to take a job as an electrical helper with ISC Constructors, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and so began his career in the construction industry. He moved up the ranks while working for other ABC member companies, and eventually he became a project manager.
More than 18 years later, Arvel has used his passion and knowledge to propel himself into his current role as business development manager for Baton Rouge-based GROUP Industries. In March, Arvel was named Associated Builders and Contractors’ Young Professional of the Year, acknowledging his career achievements, leadership and vision for the future of the commercial and industrial construction industry.
“I’m still in shock; I still cannot believe it,” Arvel says. “Being ABC’s Young Professional of the Year means a tremendous amount because the process taught me so much about who I am. My story shaped the man that I am today. What a great honor to represent my company and the ABC Pelican Chapter.”
