An industrial machine builder and job shop is seeking a hard-working professional who is quality-driven and enjoys meeting challenges. The ideal candidate should have a strong background in general fabrication and welding, with helpful experience in structural and sheet metal work.
At roughly $23/hr, this posting comes in about 19% below the $29/hr median for welder fabricator jobs across Pennsylvania, where the middle half runs $25–$32/hr across 14 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 14% of the comparable postings we have wage data for.
