How this job compares

Pay in context

This employer didn't publish a rate. For reference, welding jobs across Mississippi currently run a median of $33/hr in our index, with the middle half of them falling between $24–$39/hr across 23 postings with published pay. That median is a reasonable floor to anchor on when a recruiter asks what you're looking for.

The local market

This posting doesn't specify a city. Across Mississippi as a whole we're tracking 70 other active welding openings from 40 employers. 8 of them were added in the last week. Browse welding jobs across Mississippi.

The most active employers in Mississippi at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are TIC - The Industrial Company (14), Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Division of HII (6), and HII (4). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.

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.
