At roughly $24/hr, this posting comes in about 17% below the $29/hr median for welding jobs across Oregon, where the middle half runs $25–$34/hr across 45 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 16% 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 Oregon at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in Portland, OR (13), AAON, Inc. (4), and Sulzer (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 Oregon, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Redmond at $29/hr and Portland at $29/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. Mechanical Assembler II figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
