We are seeking Fitter/ Welders for a full-time and permanent position with a local facility focusing on metal fabrication. Candidates must have 4+ years of proven experience and be able to fabricate according to prints and pass a weld test.
At roughly $27/hr, this posting lands within a few percent of the $25/hr median for welding jobs across Ohio, whose middle half runs $21–$30/hr across 135 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 61% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. In other words it is a market-rate offer, so benefits, overtime, and shift schedule are where the real difference between this and the next posting on the list shows up.
