We are seeking a dependable and experienced Mig Welder to perform welding and fabrication tasks in a manufacturing environment. The ideal candidate will have strong welding skills, mechanical aptitude, and the ability to read blueprints and measurements.
At roughly $28/hr, this posting lands within a few percent of the $26/hr median for welding jobs across Ohio, whose middle half runs $23–$30/hr across 72 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 60% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. In other words it is a market-rate offer, so benefits, overtime, and shift schedule are where the real difference between this and the next posting on the list shows up.

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.
