Travel OR Tech Job
Meeker, CO
Contracted
Pioneers Medical Center
Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel OR Tech, delivering critical support in the operating room while discovering the beauty and resilience of Colorado and beyond. In this role, your expertise in instrument handling, sterile technique, patient safety, and intraoperative collaboration will directly influence surgical outcomes and the patient experience. Picture the satisfaction of ensuring every scrub, every count, and every setup is flawless as you stand alongside surgeons, nurses, and anesthesia teams. Your hands will help move complex procedures forward, your attention to detail will minimize risk, and your steadfast professionalism will empower teams to perform at their best. And while you pursue this meaningful mission, you’ll have the chance to explore the stunning landscapes of Colorado, from alpine peaks and pine-scented air to small towns that celebrate local culture, craft, and outdoor adventure. In Colorado’s Meeker, you’ll find a welcoming community, a slower pace with big-hearted people, and a gateway to the state’s outdoor playgrounds that invite weekend explorations after your shifts. The opportunity to contribute to life-changing surgeries while experiencing the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountain region makes this a uniquely rewarding path.
Location benefits go beyond a single town. You’ll begin your journey in Meeker, Colorado, a picturesque gateway to outdoor recreation, with the option to work across diverse facilities nationwide through our travel program. This means you’ll enjoy the security of a steady position while exploring new environments—rural hospitals that rely on skilled OR teams, larger centers that push clinical boundaries, and everything in between. Colorado offers thriving communities, excellent dining, access to seasonal activities, and a safe, family-friendly atmosphere that supports work-life balance. When you’re not in the OR, you can take in the surrounding mesas, rivers, and backcountry trails, or plan day trips to nearby national forests and historic towns. And for your broader career goals, the chance to rotate across different locations across the U.S. accelerates your professional growth. You’ll gain exposure to a wide range of equipment, procedures, and perioperative workflows, broadening your expertise and increasing your confidence across surgical specialties and settings.
In this role, you’ll own a comprehensive set of responsibilities designed to sharpen your clinical acumen and expand your career trajectory. You’ll prepare operating rooms, set up and pass instruments, manage implants and devices, and assist with maintaining sterile technique, patient positioning, and wound closure under the supervision of experienced surgeons. You’ll participate in case planning, anticipate equipment needs, and communicate effectively with the team to ensure smooth, efficient workflows that minimize anesthesia time and enhance patient safety. You’ll have opportunities to cross-train in related perioperative areas, building a well-rounded skill set that improves compatibility with broader OR teams and makes you a stronger candidate for leadership roles in the future. The position emphasizes not only technical proficiency but professional growth—clinical mentorship, ongoing education, and hands-on experiences that expand your scope and confidence. Competitive benefits accompany your clinical responsibilities, including a signing bonus, housing assistance, and clear paths to extension opportunities so you can plan meaningful chapters in your career. And because this journey is about more than a paycheck, you’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated team that is available 24/7 while you travel, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone.
Our company values your mission and your growth. We are committed to empowering you—investing in ongoing learning, recognizing your contributions, and providing a supportive environment where your voice is heard. Career advancement is a core pillar, with structured pathways to expand into lead tech roles, perioperative systems, or educator positions within a broad network of healthcare facilities. You’ll join colleagues who share a dedication to patient-centered care, teamwork, and continuous improvement, with resources to help you balance demanding clinical duties with personal well-being. The culture is collaborative, transparent, and focused on long-term success—yours and the patients you serve.
This opportunity starts on 01/19/2026 and is structured as a Weeks-long assignment with guaranteed hours of 36.0 per week. Weekly compensation ranges from $1,852 to $1,873, reflecting your experience and the market. While location-specific, the program’s breadth means you’ll experience the value of stable employment with the flexibility to explore new sites and clinical landscapes. Housing assistance helps ease transitions, and a contract-friendly framework supports extensions and renewals that align with your goals. A competitive bonus structure recognizes your contributions as you demonstrate reliability, adaptability, and clinical excellence. The supportive framework includes 24/7 travel assistance and on-call support, ensuring you have access to guidance, resources, and problem-solving help whenever you need it.
If you’re ready to apply the full scope of your OR tech expertise, to grow within a network that values your development, and to contribute to exceptional patient care while exploring some of the most beautiful regions in the country, this is your moment. You’ll be part of a mission-driven organization that celebrates your professional journey, encourages skill-building, and honors your commitment to patient safety and teamwork.
