A growing global manufacturer of engineered environmental and industrial equipment is seeking a Structural Designer for custom projects supporting industrial air and emissions-control systems. The role involves creating 3D models, fabrication drawings, and material take-offs for heavy industrial equipment.
At roughly $38/hr, this posting sits about 23% above the $31/hr median for structural welder jobs across Texas — toward the top of a $27–$35/hr middle band drawn from 23 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 100% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. Pay that far above local median usually comes attached to something: a harder cert requirement, travel, night shift, or overtime that isn't really optional. Worth establishing which before you accept.
