We are in need of fabricators for stainless steel custom work, requiring welding skills to ensure all welds are water tight. The position involves custom jobs including bending, layout, and polishing, which can be taught on the job. We offer great benefits and are looking for a couple of long-term employees.
At roughly $33/hr, this posting sits about 30% above the $25/hr median for welding jobs across Ohio — toward the top of a $21–$30/hr middle band drawn from 141 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 84% 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 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 Aurora at $32/hr, Cleveland at $26/hr, and Cincinnati at $26/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Stainless steel welding and fabrication figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
