The city sits at the crossroads of culture, industry, and education, with affordable living, a strong healthcare ecosystem, and easy access to outdoor adventures. You’ll experience a city where historic neighborhoods meet modern amenities, where museums and theatres enrich your off‑hours, and where brisk commutes and compact neighborhoods keep daily life convenient.

You’ll participate in instrument tracking and sterilization records, verify tray contents against job sheets, and uphold rigorous quality assurance standards. Your role involves preparing instrument sets for a wide range of procedures, maintaining strict asepsis, adhering to OSHA and AAMI guidelines, and supporting OR teams with reliable, on‑time instrument availability. You’ll contribute to process improvements, participate in competency testing, and collaborate with surgeons, nurses, and biomedical staff to streamline workflows and reduce turnaround times.
Growth and Extension: This assignment is designed to offer professional development within the Sterile Processing specialty. You’ll have opportunities to broaden your skill set through cross‑training on advanced sterilization technologies, workflow optimization, and inventory management.

Competitive Benefits: In addition to competitive weekly pay in the range of $920–$984, the position includes a comprehensive package designed to recognize your expertise and commitment. A welcome or performance bonus component recognizes your contributions, and housing assistance helps ease transition logistics for a smooth start in a new city.

The role comes with robust support for travel assignments, including 24/7 assistance from our dedicated travel team, ensuring you’re never alone as you navigate new facilities, shift patterns, or state-specific protocols.
