For reference, welding jobs in Phoenix, AZ currently run a median of $30/hr in our index, with the middle half of them falling between $24–$35/hr across 38 postings with published pay.

Across Arizona as a whole we're tracking 285 other active welding openings from 174 employers. A metro this active generally means you have real leverage — employers here are competing for the same welders. Browse every welding job in Phoenix, or widen the search to Arizona.
The most active employers in Arizona at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in Phoenix, AZ (9), Sundt Construction (8), and Comfort Systems USA Southwest (7). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within Arizona, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Mesa at $38/hr, El Mirage at $38/hr, and Phoenix at $30/hr. Phoenix is among them.
This posting calls for Stick. Stick (SMAW) burns a flux-coated consumable rod and needs no shielding gas, so it works in wind, rain, and on dirty or rusted steel. That tolerance for bad conditions keeps it the default for field, structural, and repair work.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Hot Plant Mechanic figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
