The Welder Fabricator is responsible for fabricating and welding components used in production, ensuring all work meets drawing specifications, safety protocols, approved weld procedures, and quality assurance standards. This role requires strong technical welding skills, precise fabrication abilities, and a consistent focus on safety, accuracy, and high-quality workmanship.
At roughly $27/hr, this posting lands within a few percent of the $27/hr median for welding jobs across Texas, whose middle half runs $22–$35/hr across 380 postings with published pay.

This posting calls for MIG, TIG, and Flux-Core work. 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. TIG (GTAW) uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with filler added by hand, giving the operator the most control of any process. It is slow, demanding, and the standard for stainless, aluminum, and anything where the bead has to look as good as it holds.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Welder figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
