The most active employers in Ohio at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Kadant Black Clawson LLC (5), TP Mechanical (5), and Welding Shop in Cleveland, OH (5).

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 figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
