How this job compares in Huntsville, AL
Pay in context
At roughly $31/hr, this posting sits about 15% above the $27/hr median for welding jobs across Alabama — toward the top of a $21–$34/hr middle band drawn from 44 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 66% of the comparable postings we have wage data for.

Worth establishing which before you accept.

What you'll be running
This posting calls for Stick. 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.
