Interstate Assembly Systems is seeking a skilled and motivated Field Service Mechanic to ensure peak performance of clients' fleets in the Phoenix Valley area. This role involves troubleshooting mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical issues in the field to minimize downtime for clients.
At roughly $45/hr, this posting sits about 50% above the $30/hr median for welding jobs across Arizona — toward the top of a $25–$37/hr middle band drawn from 188 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 89% 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 Arizona at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Sundt Construction (17), Welding Shop in Phoenix, AZ (16), and EZARC (15). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within Arizona, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are El Mirage at $38/hr, Phoenix at $30/hr, and Goodyear at $30/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.
This posting calls for MIG, TIG, 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. TIG (GTAW) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with filler added by hand, giving the operator the most control of any process. It is slow, demanding, and the standard for stainless, aluminum, and anything where the bead has to look as good as it holds.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Field Service Mechanic figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
