Summary

Houston-based energy technology company Baker Hughes filed a WARN notice stating it will close its facility on Emmott Road in northwest Houston, a move that will impact 174 employees. The WARN filing says the job cuts are tied to the facility closure and are expected to begin this month and continue into 2027, and could qualify as a plant closing or mass layoff under federal law. Affected positions include workers in manufacturing, engineering, materials, purchasing and various support roles, and impacted employees have already been notified. The notice frames the reduction as a facility shutdown rather than an isolated departmental layoff and sets a phased timeline through 2027.

Baker Hughes Company cut 174 jobs affecting its manufacturing, engineering, materials, purchasing and other support roles team as of July 11, 2026.

That is roughly 0.3% of the 57,000 people Baker Hughes Company employs.

LayoffTalk has tracked 5 layoff events at Baker Hughes Company since July 2026, affecting a combined 448 employees.
