The local market

This posting doesn't specify a city. Across Ohio as a whole we're tracking 236 other active welding openings from 176 employers. 33 of them were added in the last week. Browse welding jobs across Ohio.

The most active employers in Ohio at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Aerotek (10), Staffmark (5), and Kadant Black Clawson LLC (4). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.

Within Ohio, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Columbus at $33/hr, Aurora at $32/hr, and Cleveland at $26/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.

What you'll be running

This posting calls for MIG and TIG 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.
