We are looking for custom fabricators and Solid Surface fabricators to join our growing team of working professionals who take pride in their work. The role involves laminating, building, and assembly while being able to read and understand shop drawings.
At roughly $21/hr, this posting comes in about 30% below the $30/hr median for welding jobs in Columbus, OH, where the middle half runs $26–$32/hr across 12 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 8% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. That gap is worth raising directly — in a market this size there is normally room to negotiate toward the median, particularly if you already hold the certifications the posting asks for.
