My client is a leading aerospace manufacturing company who is growing and looking to add a Maintenance Mechanic to their team. This role involves maintenance and repair of machinery, as well as preventative maintenance and troubleshooting.
At roughly $37/hr, this posting sits about 16% above the $32/hr median for welding jobs across New York — toward the top of a $27–$40/hr middle band drawn from 139 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 66% 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 New York at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in New York, NY (17), Randstad USA (6), and Philips (6). 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 $45/hr, Staten Island at $31/hr, and Brooklyn at $30/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.
