How this job compares in Lancaster, SC

Pay in context

At roughly $30/hr, this posting sits about 21% above the $25/hr median for welding jobs across South Carolina — toward the top of a $22–$34/hr middle band drawn from 53 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 70% 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.

The local market in Lancaster, SC

Lancaster, SC currently has 3 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 Lancaster, or widen the search to South Carolina.

What you'll be running

This posting calls for MIG. 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.
