Volt is immediately hiring for a TIG Welder (GTAW) in Chatsworth, CA. As a TIG Welder, you will perform precision welding on various materials and ensure quality and compliance with specifications.
At roughly $35/hr, this posting sits about 14% above the $31/hr median for TIG welder jobs across California — toward the top of a $28–$34/hr middle band drawn from 41 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 80% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. Pay that far above local median usually comes attached to something: a harder cert requirement, travel, night shift, or overtime that isn't really optional. Worth establishing which before you accept.

This posting calls for TIG. 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.
