DwyerOmega is seeking a Senior Manufacturing Engineer to enhance manufacturing quality, cost, reliability, and flow at their Swedesboro, NJ facility. The role involves collaborating with various teams to improve processes and lead equipment and process improvement projects.
At roughly $50/hr, this posting sits about 58% above the $32/hr median for manufacturing welder jobs across New Jersey — toward the top of a $27–$42/hr middle band drawn from 8 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.
Swedesboro, NJ currently has 3 other active welding openings besides this one, spread across 3 employers. 1 of them was added in the last week. Across New Jersey as a whole we're tracking 183 other active welding openings from 127 employers. That's enough local activity to be worth comparing two or three offers before committing. Browse every welding job in Swedesboro, or widen the search to New Jersey.
The most active employers in New Jersey at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Valcor Engineering Corporation (7), Lockheed Martin (7), and DC Fabricators (4). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within New Jersey, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Moorestown at $42/hr, Newark at $33/hr, and Cherry Hill at $31/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.
Pay figures are medians computed from live postings in the Welding Pros index, not from survey data, and they move as employers post. ** Senior Manufacturing Engineer figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
