Step into a pivotal role as a Sterile Processing Tech in Moses Lake, Washington, where precision, patient safety, and teamwork converge to support outstanding surgical care. In this role you become the critical link in the OR supply chain, transforming used instruments into sterile, ready‑to‑use tools, ensuring every pack meets the highest standards of cleanliness, infection control, and efficiency. Your expertise will shorten turnaround times, protect patients, and empower surgical teams to perform at their best. Imagine the impact you can make every day—from decontamination and inspection to packaging, sterilization monitoring, load assembly, and traceability. This assignment begins on 12/15/2025 and is designed as a weeks‑long engagement with clear pathways for extension based on service needs and your proven performance. You’ll be joining a dedicated team that values accuracy, accountability, and the quiet confidence that comes from delivering reliably safe instruments to the bedside.

Role specifics and benefits emphasize growth, support, and competitive compensation. You’ll be responsible for decontaminating instruments through validated processes, inspecting for wear or damage, assembling sterile instrument sets, and verifying pack integrity while maintaining strict sterile technique and meticulous documentation of sterilization cycles. You’ll collaborate with OR teams, central supply, and infection prevention to ensure compliance with regulatory standards (JCAHO, AAMI, ANSI) and patient safety protocols. The position offers clear avenues for advancement within Sterile Processing: continued education, cross‑training opportunities in instrument repair or process improvement initiatives, and the potential to transition to supervisory or specialist roles as assignments extend. Competitive weekly pay ranges from $1,469 to $1,580, with guaranteed 40 hours per week to support your planning and financial goals. In addition, a signing bonus may be available where applicable, with housing assistance designed to ease travel logistics.
