At roughly $36/hr, this posting lands within a few percent of the $36/hr median for welding jobs across New Jersey, whose middle half runs $29–$40/hr across 131 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 50% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. In other words it is a market-rate offer, so benefits, overtime, and shift schedule are where the real difference between this and the next posting on the list shows up.

The most active employers in New Jersey at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are gpac (15), Rhoads Industries (12), and Gpac (10). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within New Jersey, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Camden at $41/hr, Northvale at $40/hr, and Totowa 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. Field Service Technician figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
