Estes Park Health
Mid Level
Seize a transformative opportunity as a Surgical Tech in Estes Park, Colorado, where precision, resilience, and teamwork illuminate every operating room. In this role you will be a central pillar of the surgical team, scrubbing and passing instruments, preparing sterile fields, and anticipating surgeons’ needs so procedures flow efficiently and safely. You’ll contribute to patient outcomes right from the prep room through to post‑op turnover, applying meticulous aseptic technique, maintaining instrument counts, and safeguarding the integrity of sterile processing. Beginning February 1, 2026, this assignment unfolds over weeks of immersive practice in a setting that blends professional rigor with exceptional natural beauty. Expect a competitive weekly pay range of $1,898–$2,004, and a flexible schedule designed to support your growth, work‑life balance, and ongoing credential development. Beyond the OR, you’ll experience the charm of a mountain town that feels like a gateway to adventure while you build a robust skill set that enhances every future opportunity in your surgical tech career.
Estes Park delivers more than a picturesque backdrop—it offers a vibrant community rooted in care, connection, and outdoor vitality. Nestled at the doorstep of the Rocky Mountains, this locale welcomes you with clean air, safe streets, and easy access to hiking trails, alpine views, and Colorado’s seasonal wonders. The beauty of this state is not merely scenic; it’s an environment that inspires excellence and resilience among healthcare teams who serve residents and visitors alike. The opportunity to work in Estes Park also opens pathways to assignments across the United States, exposing you to diverse facilities, patient populations, and OR cultures. You’ll gain exposure to varied procedural specialties, equipment inventories, and collaborative approaches that broaden your clinical judgment and sharpen your leadership readiness, all while savoring the unique experiences of a region known for hospitality, local craft, and alpine charm.
In this role you’ll own key responsibilities that drive surgical precision and patient safety. Core duties include preparing and sterilizing instruments, equipment verification, and ensuring proper instrument counts before, during, and after procedures. You’ll set up sterile fields, assist surgeons and circulating nurses, and adapt to different specialties—from general and orthopedic to endoscopic or minimally invasive procedures—where your vigilance and quick thinking prevent delays and complications. You’ll document case specifics, maintain supply levels, and coordinate with anesthesia and post‑op teams to promote seamless patient transitions. The position offers compelling professional growth: with extension opportunities and the chance to expand your expertise into specialty areas, you can cultivate a deeper proficiency, pursue advanced certifications, and assume lead tech responsibilities or OR coordination roles as assignments extend. The package includes a signing bonus or bonus plan, housing assistance to ease relocation, and options designed to support longer-term placements. As you travel, you’ll receive end‑to‑end support, including a dedicated clinical liaison, housing guidance, travel coordination, and 24/7 availability to address any needs or concerns. The combination of hands‑on practice, continuous learning, and the potential for role expansion makes this more than a job—it’s a path to mastery within the surgical suite.
Our organization is grounded in empowering staff and fostering a culture that values professional growth, safety, and collaboration. We are committed to providing a supportive environment that recognizes your contributions and offers clear opportunities for advancement, credentialing assistance, and mentorship from experienced perioperative teams. You’ll join a network of healthcare professionals who share a commitment to patient‑centered care, ethical practice, and continuous improvement. The program emphasizes transparent communication, constructive feedback, and access to resources that help you refine your technique, elevate your critical thinking, and expand your scope within the surgical services field. Whether you’re aiming to deepen your skill in sterile processing, broaden your exposure across OR disciplines, or pursue leadership pathways, our structure and culture are designed to help you realize those goals.
