Akkodis is seeking an Assembler for a contract role with a client in Carson, CA. The position involves performing skilled repetitive assembly and cleaning operations to produce quality products in a timely manner.
At roughly $21/hr, this posting comes in about 41% below the $35/hr median for welding jobs across California, where the middle half runs $29–$45/hr across 365 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 2% of the comparable postings we have wage data for. That gap is worth raising directly — in a market this size there is normally room to negotiate toward the median, particularly if you already hold the certifications the posting asks for.
Carson, CA currently has 4 other active welding openings besides this one, spread across 2 employers. 2 of them were added in the last week. Across California as a whole we're tracking 486 other active welding openings from 233 employers. That's enough local activity to be worth comparing two or three offers before committing. Browse every welding job in Carson, or widen the search to California.
The most active employers in California at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are SpaceX (35), Welding Shop in Los Angeles, CA (17), and Relativity Space (14). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.
Within California, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Long Beach at $49/hr, El Segundo at $48/hr, and Los Angeles at $44/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. Assembler figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
