Shipyard welders build and repair commercial vessels, Navy ships, submarines, barges, and offshore rigs. The work is heavy, cert-driven (NAVSEA, ABS, USCG), and lucrative — experienced shipyard welders at major US yards (Newport News, Ingalls, BAE, Bath Iron Works, NASSCO) can clear $30–$45/hr plus shift differentials and overtime.

We're currently tracking 11 open shipyard welder jobs in California, sourced daily from Indeed, Adzuna, and company career pages. Every listing links straight to the employer — no middleman, no account required.
