In this essential role, you will partner with surgical teams to ensure the sterile field is flawless, from decontamination through packaging and sterilization to storage and transport. Your precision, adherence to rigorous standards, and commitment to quality will directly influence operating room readiness, reduce infection risk, and empower clinicians to focus on healing. This opportunity launches with a start date of November 14, 2025, offering guaranteed 36 hours per week, a competitive weekly pay range of $1,364 to $1,422, and ongoing assignments designed for skilled techs who thrive on consistency, accountability, and professional growth. The position promises not only reliable hours but the chance to build a robust skill set across sterile processing workflows, instrumentation management, and regulatory compliance.
