Mid Level
Step into a pivotal OR Tech role that blends surgical precision with patient-centered care, and let your expertise illuminate every procedure from start to finish. As an OR Tech in Plattsburgh, New York, you’ll join a close-knit team dedicated to excellence in perioperative services, delivering the compassionate, high-quality care that patients and families rely on. This is your opportunity to apply meticulous instrument handling, sterile technique, and dynamic teamwork to positive patient outcomes while you grow alongside seasoned surgeons and nurses in a supportive, fast-paced environment. Beyond the OR doors, you’ll discover that New York’s northern beauty is more than a backdrop—it's a source of inspiration. Plattsburgh sits on the picturesque shores of Lake Champlain, where sunsets over the water meet the hum of the hospital corridor. And with the broader Adirondack region just a short drive away, stunning fall foliage, snow-dusted peaks, and outdoor adventures are part of the lifestyle you’ll enjoy off shift. The state’s vibrant cities, rich history, and thriving communities offer a quality of life that harmonizes with the demands and rewards of perioperative care.
Location benefits extend beyond the immediate assignment. Plattsburgh provides a welcoming community atmosphere with easy access to outdoor recreation, cultural events, and reputable healthcare facilities that value teamwork and professional development. The surrounding Adirondacks deliver year-round activities—from hiking and kayaking in warmer months to skiing and snowshoeing in winter. For those who enjoy a broader professional landscape, the role also presents opportunities to work across various locations in the U.S. through rotating assignments, enabling you to expand your clinical experience, adapt to diverse surgical teams, and bring back new techniques and insights to your home base. You’ll experience the advantages of living and working in a region known for its scenic beauty, strong school systems, and affordable amenities, all while contributing to a hospital that prioritizes patient safety, efficiency, and excellence in surgical care.
As an OR Tech, your key responsibilities will center on sustaining safe, efficient, and sterile perioperative environments. You’ll assist with scrubbing and circulating during a wide range of procedures, prepare and maintain surgical instruments and equipment, and ensure accurate counts and instrument readiness before, during, and after cases. You’ll support anesthesia teams with equipment checks and positioning assistance, monitor sterile technique, and manage room turnover to minimize delays and maximize patient throughput. Your hands-on involvement will extend to gowning and gloving, maintaining sterile fields, and promptly addressing any breaches in asepsis. You’ll collaborate closely with surgeons, nurses, and support staff to anticipate needs, troubleshoot equipment issues, and communicate critical information with clarity and professionalism. This role offers ongoing opportunities for professional growth within the OR tech discipline, including exposure to advanced instrumentation, specialty procedures, and potential pathways into leadership or broader perioperative roles as you demonstrate reliability, critical thinking, and a commitment to learning.
Competitive benefits are a hallmark of this assignment. You’ll receive a competitive weekly pay range of $1,930 to $2,007, reflecting the value of your expertise and the important role you play on the surgical team. In addition to compensation, you may be eligible for a sign-on bonus, reflecting the employer’s appreciation for your readiness to contribute from day one. Housing assistance is available to help you settle in smoothly, aligning with a seamless transition to your multi-week rotation. The program also offers extension opportunities, allowing you to continue your impact with familiar colleagues and facilities while gaining continuity in your practice and relationships. Importantly, comprehensive support is available 24/7 as you travel with the company, ensuring you have reliable guidance, rapid problem-solving, and consistent collaboration no matter where your assignment takes you.
The company’s values center on empowering staff to advance their careers while maintaining a supportive, team-first culture. You’ll find a work environment that champions open communication, mentorship, and ongoing education—an environment that recognizes your contributions and provides the resources you need to grow. Whether you’re sharpening sterile technique, expanding instrumentation knowledge, or pursuing leadership competencies, you’ll benefit from structured opportunities, access to expert guidance, and the encouragement of a community that celebrates professional development as a core objective.
This role begins on 01/12/2026 for a multi-week assignment and offers flexible scheduling aligned with patient and facility needs. While guaranteed hours are listed as 0.0, you’ll receive a clearly defined schedule prior to placement, with reliable support from the travel health team and on-site leadership. You’ll be part of a trusted network that values your clinical skill, your safety, and your well-being as you navigate different facilities across beautiful New York and beyond. The combination of meaningful, hands-on perioperative work, competitive compensation, housing support, and opportunities for extension creates a compelling path for OR Tech professionals who want to elevate their practice while enjoying a balanced lifestyle in a region renowned for its natural beauty.
