Power Labor USA is hiring experienced Commercial Pipefitters for a long-term, full-time opportunity in San Antonio, offering competitive pay and benefits for those with commercial pipefitting experience.
At roughly $25/hr, this posting comes in about 17% below the $30/hr median for pipefitter jobs across Texas, where the middle half runs $28–$40/hr across 16 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 13% 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.
We're tracking 18 other active welding openings in San Antonio, TX right now, from 14 different employers. None of them were added in the last week, so this is a slower-moving market. Across Texas as a whole we're tracking 1,090 other active welding openings from 545 employers. A metro this active generally means you have real leverage — employers here are competing for the same welders. Browse every welding job in San Antonio, or widen the search to Texas.
The most active employers in Texas at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in Austin, TX (27), Austin Industries (23), and Zachry Group (22). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within Texas, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Midlothian at $38/hr, Pasadena at $38/hr, and Dallas at $33/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. Commercial Pipefitter- IMMEDIATE START figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
