Job description

Borusan Pipe is looking for an experienced Pipe Yard Forklift Operator II to join our manufacturing operation in Baytown, Texas .

We’re looking for operators who know how to safely move long, heavy, oversized material using heavy-duty industrial equipment—not someone whose experience is limited to moving pallets in a warehouse.

Our Forklift Operator II team members operate heavy-duty diesel forklifts and specialized pipe-handling equipment cross our production and outdoor yard operations. You’ll be responsible for safely moving, staging, loading, and unloading pipe while helping keep material flowing throughout the mill.

What makes this a Level II role?

• Proven experience operating heavy-capacity industrial forklifts
• Experience handling pipe, steel, structural material, or other oversized loads
• Strong understanding of load balance, stability, capacity, and safe material handling
• Ability to operate confidently in outdoor yards and on uneven terrain
• Experience loading and unloading trucks, trailers, railcars, or storage areas
• Ability to identify equipment or material-handling issues and respond appropriately
• Ability to work independently while coordinating with Production, Shipping, Quality, and other teams

The environment:

This is a heavy manufacturing operation. You’ll work around large equipment, steel pipe, production operations, and outdoor yard conditions. Safety, awareness, and equipment-control skills matter every day.

If your background is in a pipe mill, steel mill, steel service center, fabrication facility, precast operation, heavy material yard, or similar industrial environment , we want to hear from you.

At Borusan Pipe, this is more than operating a forklift. You are a critical part of keeping our manufacturing operation moving safely and efficiently.
