This employer didn't publish a rate. For reference, welding jobs across Oklahoma currently run a median of $26/hr in our index, with the middle half of them falling between $22–$29/hr across 61 postings with published pay. That median is a reasonable floor to anchor on when a recruiter asks what you're looking for.
We're tracking 12 other active welding openings in Oklahoma City, OK right now, from 11 different employers. None of them were added in the last week, so this is a slower-moving market.

A metro this active generally means you have real leverage — employers here are competing for the same welders. Browse every welding job in Oklahoma City, or widen the search to Oklahoma.
The most active employers in Oklahoma at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are HireCall (6), American StaffCorp Job Board (5), and Onin Staffing (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 Oklahoma, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Catoosa at $28/hr, Tulsa at $26/hr, and Claremore at $23/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. 3rd Shift Welder figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
