Boilermaker pay in Arizona

The median boilermaker pay in Arizona is $77,940 per year according to BLS OEWS May 2025. Half of workers earn less than the median and half earn more. The middle 50% fall between $77,720 to $78,540. These figures describe the occupation across the state, not one employer or city.

At 2,080 hours per year, the median converts to $37.47/hr. This is an hourly equivalent of annual wages, not a separately observed hourly wage. Overtime premiums, unpaid time, taxes, and benefits are not calculated by that conversion.

No published union scale is included for this trade and state. Missing scale data does not establish whether workers are union members.

BLS occupational wage percentiles do not identify apprenticeship year, license tier, or years of experience. The 25th percentile is not an entry wage or a pay floor; the 75th percentile is not a master-license rate. Location, employer, responsibilities, benefits, and hours need their own evidence.
