At roughly $18/hr, this posting comes in about 38% below the $29/hr median for welding jobs across Indiana, where the middle half runs $24–$31/hr across 84 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 4% of the comparable postings we have wage data for.

This posting calls for MIG, TIG, and Flux-Core work. MIG (GMAW) feeds a continuous wire electrode through a shielding-gas nozzle. It lays down metal fast and is forgiving on clean material, which is why it dominates production and light fabrication work. TIG (GTAW) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with filler added by hand, giving the operator the most control of any process. It is slow, demanding, and the standard for stainless, aluminum, and anything where the bead has to look as good as it holds.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Welder/Fitter figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
