We are seeking a skilled and motivated Shafting Process Technician to join our Shafting Department within a dynamic industrial and machining environment. This role supports shafting operations, post weld heat treatment (PWHT), and general production processes in our shafting department shop.
At roughly $30/hr, this posting lands within a few percent of the $33/hr median for welding jobs across California, whose middle half runs $27–$41/hr across 454 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 33% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. In other words it is a market-rate offer, so benefits, overtime, and shift schedule are where the real difference between this and the next posting on the list shows up.
