Welder jobs

Right now there are 850 welder openings on our board, and 124 of them arrived in the last seven days. None are marked fully remote at the moment. The board refreshes every night, so the count moves with the market.

20 of the 850 openings state a salary. Across those, the middle half of posted pay runs from $69k to $82k a year. We only count postings that state pay, so this is what employers are advertising today, not an estimate. For the fuller picture by seniority and market, see the welder salary page.

The three skills welder postings name most often are Welding / Fabrication (31% of postings), Drafting (8%) and Blueprint Reading (8%). Those percentages are simply how many of the postings we read mention each one, so you can see which are near-universal and which are nice to have. Every skill, defined: the glossary.

Yes, and we can tell you from where. 1 measured routes lead into welder work. The closest is from machinist: a typical machinist profile already covers 73% of what welder postings ask for, and the route page lists the exact skills that make up the rest.
