At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place.

At roughly $44/hr, this posting sits about 45% above the $30/hr median for welding jobs across Pennsylvania — toward the top of a $25–$35/hr middle band drawn from 161 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.
Ridley Park, PA currently has 3 other active welding openings besides this one, spread across 1 employer. 1 of them was added in the last week.

Browse every welding job in Ridley Park, or widen the search to Pennsylvania.
Boeing currently has 3 other openings live in Pennsylvania, which is usually a sign of either steady growth or steady turnover — worth asking which in the interview.
The most active employers in Pennsylvania at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Rhoads Industries (12), Department of the Navy - Agency Wide (8), and Phillips Tank & Structure (8). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within Pennsylvania, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Philadelphia at $32/hr, Braddock at $31/hr, and Malvern at $30/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. Inspector – Non Destructive Testing figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
