How this job compares

What you'll be running

This posting calls for MIG. MIG (GMAW) feeds a continuous wire electrode through a shielding-gas nozzle. It lays down metal fast and is forgiving on clean material, which is why it dominates production and light fabrication work.

Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Experienced Welder - 3rd Shift (26+/HR) figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
