Oldcastle, a CRH company, is seeking a Welder for the 2nd shift to manually weld in an industrial plant environment. The company is a leading provider of innovative outdoor living products and utility infrastructure solutions across North America.
At roughly $24/hr, this posting comes in about 31% below the $35/hr median for welding jobs across California, where the middle half runs $28–$48/hr across 449 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 13% 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.
Azusa, CA currently has 7 other active welding openings besides this one, spread across 3 employers. None of them were added in the last week, so this is a slower-moving market. Across California as a whole we're tracking 600 other active welding openings from 271 employers. That's enough local activity to be worth comparing two or three offers before committing. Browse every welding job in Azusa, or widen the search to California.
Oldcastle Infrastructure currently has 4 other openings live in California, which is usually a sign of either steady growth or steady turnover — worth asking which in the interview.
The most active employers in California at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are SpaceX (37), Vast (18), and Relativity Space (17). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within California, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Gardena at $73/hr, Redondo Beach at $72/hr, and Pasadena at $61/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.
This posting calls for MIG. 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.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. Welder, 2nd Shift figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
