http://www.consfab.com/about.htmlthis is not the most glamorous welding but you could start out making more than you are right now and have an opportunity to increase your pay and skills. Again this is HARD work not standing at a station and going home clean every evening. You will have to swing a hammer breaking down joints for welding, tack , grind and then weld. Both use SMAW and GMAW process. They have a lot of work in Texas/Oklahoma right now. With your background and experience if you can pass a Section IX 3 plate test you should be in the $23-$26 plus sub range. Sub is running 80 to 100 per but YMMV Some have end of job bonus, some dont
I will warn you if you cannot pass the UA, dont even show up.
Good luck and I hope you follow this path as the heavy plate steel industry is really hard up for good workers.
I do not work for any of these guys, just know the people who run them. They stres safety.
Also Matrix and ConsFab have Union sides.
