How this job compares in Tampa, FL

Pay in context

At roughly $39/hr, this posting sits about 38% above the $28/hr median for welding jobs across Florida — toward the top of a $25–$31/hr middle band drawn from 125 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 96% 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.

The local market in Tampa, FL

We're tracking 13 other active welding openings in Tampa, FL right now, from 11 different employers. 3 of them were added in the last week. Across Florida as a whole we're tracking 267 other active welding openings from 135 employers. A metro this active generally means you have real leverage — employers here are competing for the same welders. Browse every welding job in Tampa, or widen the search to Florida.

The most active employers in Florida at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Welding Shop in Miami, FL (27), Honeywell Technologies (13), and BAE Systems (10). Volume like that usually means either a genuine expansion or a staffing agency working several client sites — worth knowing which before you apply.

Within Florida, the best-paying metros we track by median hourly rate are Miami at $35/hr, Cape Canaveral at $32/hr, and Jacksonville at $32/hr. If you can relocate or commute, that spread is worth factoring in.

What you'll be running

This posting calls for Stick. Stick (SMAW) burns a flux-coated consumable rod and needs no shielding gas, so it works in wind, rain, and on dirty or rusted steel. That tolerance for bad conditions keeps it the default for field, structural, and repair work.
