The Manufacturing Technician will be responsible for building and integrating complex capital equipment while ensuring systems meet precision, quality, and reliability requirements. This role involves executing detailed mechanical, electrical, and fluid system installations based on engineering drawings and collaborating closely with engineering on continuous product and process improvement.
At roughly $25/hr, this posting comes in about 12% below the $28/hr median for welding jobs across Pennsylvania, where the middle half runs $24–$33/hr across 136 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 29% 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.
