The most active employers in Ohio at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are TP Mechanical (9), Phillips Tank & Structure (5), and Aerotek (5). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within Ohio, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Columbus at $30/hr, Canton at $29/hr, and Cleveland at $26/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.
This posting calls for MIG and Stick 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. 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.
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.
