At roughly $20/hr, this posting comes in about 14% below the $23/hr median for welding jobs in Houston, TX, where the middle half runs $22–$32/hr across 68 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 22% 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.
We're tracking 247 other active welding openings in Houston, TX right now, from 138 different employers. 16 of them were added in the last week.

A metro this active generally means you have real leverage — employers here are competing for the same welders. Browse every welding job in Houston, or widen the search to Texas.
Staffmark currently has 4 other openings live in Texas, which is usually a sign of either steady growth or steady turnover — worth asking which in the interview.
The most active employers in Texas at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in Austin, TX (27), Austin Industries (26), and Welding Shop in Houston, TX (21). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within Texas, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Midlothian at $38/hr, Pasadena at $36/hr, and Dallas at $35/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.
This posting calls for TIG. 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.
