This employer didn't publish a rate. For reference, welding jobs across Pennsylvania currently run a median of $28/hr in our index, with the middle half of them falling between $23–$32/hr across 151 postings with published pay. That median is a reasonable floor to anchor on when a recruiter asks what you're looking for.
This is the only active welding job we're currently tracking in Bridgeport, PA, which makes it worth moving on quickly — there is no local competing offer to weigh it against. Across Pennsylvania as a whole we're tracking 230 other active welding openings from 150 employers. Browse welding jobs across Pennsylvania.
Federal Express Corporation currently has 1 other opening live in Pennsylvania, which is usually a sign of either steady growth or steady turnover — worth asking which in the interview.
The most active employers in Pennsylvania at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Rhoads Industries (15), Aerotek (11), and Department of the Navy - Agency Wide (8). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within Pennsylvania, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Philadelphia at $30/hr, York at $27/hr, and Lancaster at $25/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.
This posting calls for MIG and Stick 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. 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. Maintenance Technician I figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
