About The Position

The WMS Operator provides digital, logistical, and material-handling support at the final stages of tubular production. The role connects physical mill production with inventory data by weighing, measuring, stamping, and stenciling finished pipe and documenting its weight, length, and API information. The position is located at Liberty Tubulars in Liberty, Texas, and has no direct reports.

The operator scans and logs products after they exit the thread line, verifies product specifications against system data, enters transactions in the Warehouse Management System, and generates and applies labels and markings.

The work environment typically has a moderate noise level. The employee must be able to work outdoors in varied conditions and tolerate any climate. The position requires standing, walking, using arms and hands to load and unload material for extended periods, and safely lifting and loading up to 50 pounds.
