How this job compares in Chandler, AZ

Pay in context

This employer didn't publish a rate. For reference, welding jobs across Arizona currently run a median of $29/hr in our index, with the middle half of them falling between $24–$36/hr across 147 postings with published pay. That median is a reasonable floor to anchor on when a recruiter asks what you're looking for.

The local market in Chandler, AZ

We're tracking 41 other active welding openings in Chandler, AZ right now, from 15 different employers. None of them were added in the last week, so this is a slower-moving market. Across Arizona as a whole we're tracking 351 other active welding openings from 174 employers. A metro this active generally means you have real leverage — employers here are competing for the same welders. Browse every welding job in Chandler, or widen the search to Arizona.

The most active employers in Arizona at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are EZARC (18), Sundt Construction (18), and Welding Shop in Phoenix, AZ (17). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.

Within Arizona, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Mesa at $31/hr, Phoenix at $30/hr, and Goodyear at $30/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.

What you'll be running

This posting calls for Stick. Stick (SMAW) burns a flux-coated consumable rod and needs no shielding gas, so it works in wind, rain, and on dirty or rusted steel. That tolerance for bad conditions keeps it the default for field, structural, and repair work.

Certifications this posting mentions

  • 3G / 4Gplate position tests — 3G is welded vertically, 4G overhead. Together they demonstrate you can hold a puddle against gravity, and they are the common entry qualifications for structural and production shops.

Read straight from this posting's text. Confirm the exact qualification the employer wants before you test — requirements vary by shop even under the same code.
