At roughly $27/hr, this posting sits about 13% above the $24/hr median for welding jobs across Tennessee — toward the top of a $21–$31/hr middle band drawn from 58 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 66% 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.
Greeneville, TN currently has 4 other active welding openings besides this one, spread across 3 employers. None of them were added in the last week, so this is a slower-moving market.

Browse every welding job in Greeneville, or widen the search to Tennessee.

The most active employers in Tennessee at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Oshkosh Corporation (4), Epiroc (3), and Aerotek (3). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
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.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. 2nd Shift Senior Polisher/Welder figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
