As a Mig Welder you will prepare materials, set up welding equipment, perform MIG welding operations, inspect completed welds, read blueprints, verify measurements, and help fabricate metal components according to engineering specifications. You will maintain welding equipment, follow quality standards, and support safe, efficient manufacturing operations while producing consistent, high-quality work.
The Mig Welder supports manufacturing by joining metal components using MIG welding equipment and established fabrication procedures. This role requires strong welding skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality workmanship.

This career offers rewarding opportunities for individuals who enjoy precision fabrication and welding.
At roughly $23/hr, this posting lands within a few percent of the $22/hr median for MIG welder jobs across Texas, whose middle half runs $19–$23/hr across 10 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 80% 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.
Plano, TX currently has 3 other active welding openings besides this one, spread across 2 employers. None of them were added in the last week, so this is a slower-moving market. Across Texas as a whole we're tracking 953 other active welding openings from 418 employers. That's enough local activity to be worth comparing two or three offers before committing. Browse every welding job in Plano, or widen the search to Texas.
Staffmark currently has 6 other openings live in Texas, which is usually a sign of either steady growth or steady turnover — worth asking which in the interview.
The most active employers in Texas at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Austin Industries (34), Zachry Group (24), and Welding Shop in Houston, TX (23). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within Texas, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Old Sixth Ward at $40/hr, Dallas at $36/hr, and Channelview at $32/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.
This posting calls for MIG and Flux-Core work. 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. Flux-cored (FCAW) runs a hollow wire filled with flux, combining MIG-like deposition rates with the outdoor tolerance of stick. It is the workhorse on heavy structural steel and shipbuilding, where thick sections and long welds reward speed.
