If you're looking for a job in Matagorda County, one of the area's biggest and newest companies is looking to grow.

Tenaris, a manufacturing company that specializes in steel pipes primarily for the energy industry, has a seamless pipe mill located in Bay City.

The company currently has 600 people working there and it's looking to add 40 more.

"The facility is rather new and there is a lot of technology, so there is a great need for those automation and robotic positions," said Kevin Schnurbusch, the company's human resource senior director.

You don't have to complete a ton of training to get one of the jobs. Tenaris is also hiring for entry-level positions.

"Primarily, we roll steel tubes," Schnurbusch explained. "Hand-finished steel tubes for the oil and gas business."
