How this job compares

Certifications this posting mentions

  • CWI — the AWS Certified Welding Inspector credential. It is an inspection qualification rather than a welding one, requiring documented experience plus a three-part exam, and it is the usual route off the torch into QC.

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.

Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Senior Inspector (CWI or ICC Structural Steel/Welding) figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
