For reference, manufacturing welder jobs across Arizona currently run a median of $31/hr in our index, with the middle half of them falling between $21–$32/hr across 14 postings with published pay.

Across Arizona as a whole we're tracking 509 other active welding openings from 258 employers. A metro this active generally means you have real leverage — employers here are competing for the same welders. Browse every welding job in Glendale, or widen the search to Arizona.
Parker Hannifin currently has 5 other openings live in Arizona, which is usually a sign of either steady growth or steady turnover — worth asking which in the interview.
The most active employers in Arizona at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Sundt Construction (29), Welding Shop in Phoenix, AZ (20), and EZARC (16). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
