Step into the operating room and join a dedicated Surgical Tech team in Grand Junction, Colorado, where every task you perform links precision, teamwork, and compassionate patient care. In this role, you’ll support surgeons, circulate and anticipate instrument needs, prepare sterile fields, and help safeguard asepsis across complex procedures. Your meticulous hands and steady focus ensure instruments, drapes, and supplies are ready exactly when needed, supporting faster, safer outcomes for patients on the journey to recovery. The impact you make extends beyond the OR: your professionalism steadies the team, and your attention to detail reduces risk and sets the standard for quality care. Colorado offers more than remarkable career opportunities; it offers beauty in every direction—from the rugged mountains and endless skies to vibrant towns and peaceful mesas.

You’ll collaborate closely with surgeons, nurses, and anesthesia providers to ensure instrument readiness, patient safety, and procedural efficiency. The role offers ongoing growth within the surgical tech discipline, including opportunities to advance to lead technologist roles, perioperative support, or specialty certification depending on facility needs and your ambitions. Our program includes competitive compensation, with a guaranteed weekly range of $2,066–$2,148, a potential signing bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend your contract for continued employment and skill-building.
