At WillScot, our team of nearly 5000+ people makes our company a Great Place to Work® and we believe our people are what give us a competitive advantage in the industry. Our Service Technicians are multi-functional, inspecting buildings, performing repairs or readiness work including framing and finish carpentry, light electrical, flooring, plumbing, painting, running gear, and more to our fleet of modular buildings.
At roughly $27/hr, this posting comes in about 13% below the $31/hr median for welding jobs across Illinois, where the middle half runs $26–$38/hr across 270 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 26% 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.
South Holland, IL currently has 3 other active welding openings besides this one, spread across 3 employers. None of them were added in the last week, so this is a slower-moving market. Across Illinois as a whole we're tracking 374 other active welding openings from 233 employers. That's enough local activity to be worth comparing two or three offers before committing. Browse every welding job in South Holland, or widen the search to Illinois.
The most active employers in Illinois at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are S&C Electric Company (15), Gerber Collision & Glass (14), and Staff on Site (13). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within Illinois, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Chicago at $36/hr, Itasca at $36/hr, and Elk Grove Village at $34/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. Service Tech (yard) figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
