Samaritan Daytop Village operates over 60 facilities across NYC, Westchester, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley, providing a wide range of human services to more than 38,000 New Yorkers annually. The Maintenance Worker keeps the building facilities in good working order by performing basic repairs and handling small fixes in areas like plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and carpentry.
At roughly $27/hr, this posting comes in about 14% below the $32/hr median for welding jobs across New York, where the middle half runs $26–$40/hr across 130 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 35% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. That gap is worth raising directly — in a market this size there is normally room to negotiate toward the median, particularly if you already hold the certifications the posting asks for.

The most active employers in New York at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in New York, NY (15), Randstad USA (6), and AMETEK (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 New York, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are New York at $49/hr, Brooklyn at $33/hr, and Rochester at $25/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. Maintenance Worker figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
