Join an industry leader as a Fabrication Shop Foreman and make an impact! This role offers competitive pay and a variety of benefits.
At roughly $38/hr, this posting sits about 37% above the $28/hr median for welding jobs across Texas — toward the top of a $23–$35/hr middle band drawn from 341 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 83% 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.
