Entry-level welder jobs are the on-ramp into the trade — most pair on-the-job training with classroom support to get you to your first cert. You don't need a 5-year resume, but you do need a willingness to grind through the boring stuff (grinding, fitting, prepping rod) while you build hood time. Starting pay is typically $16–$22/hr with quick raises once you certify.

We're currently tracking 19 open entry level welder jobs in Virginia, sourced daily from Indeed, Adzuna, and company career pages. Every listing links straight to the employer — no middleman, no account required.
