Rates vary by certification, process, and region within the state. These ranges reflect typical shop and field rates for AWS-certified welders.
These are typical market rates — not prevailing wage on public jobs. Add 25–35% for total loaded cost (payroll taxes, workers' comp, insurance, tools). Add 15–25% markup on top of loaded cost as the shop's contribution to overhead and profit.
Licensing & Certification
Pennsylvania does not have a statewide welding license. PennDOT and the Turnpike Commission require fabricator AISC certification and AWS D1.5 welder qualification for bridge work. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh may require local trade permits. Pressure vessel work requires PA Department of Labor & Industry certification.
AWS Code Adoption
PennDOT mandates AWS D1.5 for bridges and D1.1 for structural. Pennsylvania is a prevailing-wage state for public projects — labor rate on any PennDOT or state contract is Davis-Bacon, typically $42–$58/hr all-in. Structural fabricators in Pittsburgh are historically strong in AISC-certified heavy plate work.
