At roughly $49/hr, this posting sits about 54% above the $32/hr median for structural welder jobs across Texas — toward the top of a $29–$45/hr middle band drawn from 13 postings with published pay. Put another way, it pays more than about 85% 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 most active employers in Texas at the moment, by number of open welding reqs, are Zachry Group (33), Austin Industries (29), and Welding Shop in Austin, TX (21). 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 Arlington at $40/hr, Dallas at $39/hr, and Pasadena at $36/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. Structural Design Engineer figures were last recalculated when this page was built.
