Vail, CO
Contracted
Vail Health Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Travel Surgical Tech in the renowned mountain jewel of Colorado—Vail. This opportunity puts you at the heart of advanced surgical teams where precision, teamwork, and compassionate care converge to drive exceptional patient outcomes. As you move through diverse operating rooms, you’ll master sterile processing, instrument preparation, and the critical rhythms of aseptic technique that keep every procedure safe and efficient. Picture yourself coordinating with surgeons, nursing staff, and anesthesia teams in settings that push your skills while honoring your dedication to patient welfare. Beyond the OR, Colorado’s splendor unfolds: snow-dusted peaks, wide-open trails, alpine festivals, and a climate that invites exploration after shifts. The beauty of Vail isn’t just scenery; it’s a daily invitation to approach your work with renewed focus and a sense of adventure. This is more than a job—it’s a committed path that couples clinical excellence with a lifestyle you’ll carry into every new assignment.
Working in Vail offers unique location benefits that enrich your professional and personal life. You’ll thrive in a dynamic resort environment that emphasizes safety, efficiency, and patient-first care while the mountains provide a backdrop that inspires resilience. The opportunity to travel nationwide, if you choose, expands your perspective with exposure to varied hospital cultures, equipment setups, and patient populations—experiences that sharpen clinical judgment and adaptability. In Vail you’ll enjoy a supportive community, access to outdoor recreation in every season, and a steady cadence that balances shift demands with downtime to recharge. For those who crave variety, the program also opens doors to assignments across the United States, enabling you to broaden your professional network, deepen technical competencies, and return to Colorado with enriched expertise. The result is a richer, more well-rounded surgical practice that translates into confident performance, enhanced instrument stewardship, and improved OR efficiency.
As a Surgical Tech, your role is essential and expansive. You’ll scrub and assist in the operating room, set up sterile fields, prepare and pass instruments, and manage instrument counts with meticulous attention to detail. You’ll support room turnover between cases, maintain equipment readiness, and uphold aseptic technique throughout procedures. Your collaboration with surgeons and staff will help minimize delays, safeguard patient safety, and ensure the integrity of every operation. The position invites ongoing growth within the specialty—through hands-on practice, continued education, and mentorship that encourages you to refine techniques, expand certifications, and assume increasing responsibilities in the OR. The compensation reflects the value you bring: competitive pay with a guaranteed weekly range of $1,629 to $1,755, and a schedule designed to provide you with 32 guaranteed hours per week. The assignment supports your success with housing assistance to ease transitions, a potential bonus structure for performance and tenure, and opportunities to extend the contract to maintain continuity in your professional journey. You’ll also have access to 24/7 support from our dedicated team while you travel, ensuring you have dependable guidance, troubleshooting, and compassionate assistance whenever you need it.
Our company values your growth and well-being. We are committed to empowering our staff to pursue career advancement within a supportive, inclusive environment. You’ll find leadership that champions your development, mentors your continued learning, and fosters a culture where collaboration, safety, and patient-centered care are at the core of every assignment. The program emphasizes transparent communication, reliable scheduling, and a community of peers who share your dedication to surgical excellence. We recognize the trust you place in us when you step into a new facility and strive to provide a framework that respects your goals while delivering the stability and resources you deserve.
If you’re ready to join a company that values your contribution, your growth, and your unique expertise as a Surgical Tech, this is your moment. Start Date is 03/01/2026, with a Weeks-duration assignment designed to leverage your skills in a premier Colorado setting and beyond.
