The most active employers in Arkansas at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are PDS Tech Commercial (2), XPO (2), and Veterans Health Administration (2).

This posting calls for MIG and Stick 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. Stick (SMAW) burns a flux-coated consumable rod and needs no shielding gas, so it works in wind, rain, and on dirty or rusted steel. That tolerance for bad conditions keeps it the default for field, structural, and repair work.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Mechanic/Welder | Jones Mill Quarry figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
