How much do welder jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 9, 2026, the average hourly pay for welder in Raleigh, NC is $21.64, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $18.22 and $24.09 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What does a welder do?

A welder is a skilled tradesperson who joins metal parts together using high heat and specialized equipment. They work with a variety of metals and techniques, such as arc, MIG, or TIG welding, to create or repair structures and components. Welders read blueprints, follow safety procedures, and inspect their work to ensure strong, durable welds. Their work is essential in industries such as construction, manufacturing, shipbuilding, and automotive repair.

What are some common safety challenges welders face on the job, and how are they typically addressed?

Welders often encounter safety challenges such as exposure to intense heat, fumes, UV radiation, and the risk of burns or eye injuries. To address these hazards, employers typically provide personal protective equipment (PPE) like welding helmets, gloves, flame-resistant clothing, and proper ventilation systems. Safety training is also a regular part of the job, ensuring that welders are aware of best practices and emergency procedures. Adhering to these protocols helps maintain a safe work environment and reduces the risk of accidents.

What is the difference between Welder vs Fabricator?

AspectWelderFabricator
CertificationsWelding certifications (e.g., AWS, CWI)Welding certifications often required, plus blueprint reading
Work EnvironmentFactories, construction sites, shipyardsFactories, workshops, construction sites
Job RoleJoins metal parts through welding processesDesigns, cuts, and assembles metal structures
Tools & EquipmentWelding machines, torches, safety gearCutting tools, measuring devices, welding equipment

While welders focus primarily on joining metal parts through welding, fabricators handle the broader process of designing, cutting, and assembling metal components. Both roles often require welding certifications and share similar work environments, but fabricators typically have additional responsibilities related to blueprint reading and metal fabrication planning.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a welder, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Welder, you need strong manual dexterity, technical welding knowledge, and typically a high school diploma or completion of a welding certification program. Familiarity with welding equipment, blueprints, and safety standards—as well as certifications such as AWS Certified Welder—are commonly required. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and dependability are important soft skills for ensuring quality and meeting project deadlines. These skills and qualifications are crucial for producing safe, precise welds and maintaining productivity in industrial and construction environments.
