Banner Estrella Medical Center
Mid Level
Step into the OR as a Surgical Tech in Phoenix, Arizona, where precision meets compassion and every click of a sterilized instrument helps restore hope. This is more than a contract; it is a purposeful path to sharpen your expertise, broaden your clinical perspective, and grow within a team that values your skill, your judgment, and your patient-centered approach. Start Date: 01/26/2026. This multi-week opportunity guarantees you a stable cadence of work across complex cases, with weekly pay in the range of $1,953 to $2,066, and a guaranteed 24.0 hours per week to support your financial consistency and career momentum. Embrace the chance to learn, adapt, and lead in a high-stakes environment while contributing to outstanding patient outcomes in one of the country’s most dynamic healthcare ecosystems. And if you’re drawn to new experiences, this role also offers the possibility to work across multiple locations in the U.S., expanding your professional footprint and exposing you to diverse surgical teams, equipment, and patient populations.
Arizona’s sunlit, sweeping vistas set a dramatic backdrop for your daily work, and Phoenix stands out as a hub where world-class hospitals meet a vibrant community. You’ll benefit from a thriving medical network, innovative procedures, and opportunities to collaborate across subspecialties. When you’re not in the OR, you can unwind in nearby trails, desert parks, and a city culture that blends modern conveniences with an outdoor lifestyle. The position also presents the benefit of housing assistance and structured relocation support, easing the transition for you and your family. If you choose to expand your horizons beyond Phoenix, you’ll find the option to work across different states, gaining exposure to varied OR protocols, instrumentation, and perioperative practices—an unbeatable accelerator for professional growth and clinical confidence.
In this role, you’ll be at the center of the surgical team’s dynamic flow. Your duties include maintaining sterile technique, preparing instruments and implants, passing devices with precision, performing meticulous sponge and instrument counts, and ensuring accurate specimen labeling. You’ll support anesthesia teams, anticipate needs during complex procedures, and manage the turnover between cases with speed and care. You’ll collaborate with surgeons, nurses, and support staff to uphold patient safety, optimize patient positioning, and monitor equipment function, all while documenting activities in the patient record. The position offers meaningful advancement as you broaden your scope, including opportunities to pursue additional certifications, take on mentorship responsibilities, or assume lead technician roles on high-demand teams. The company provides robust onboarding, ongoing education, and cross-training options to help you stay ahead in a fast-paced perioperative environment.
Beyond the technical responsibilities, you’ll experience a company culture built on empowerment, transparency, and professional respect. The organization is committed to your career development, offering clear pathways for advancement, regular feedback, and a supportive environment where your voice matters. You’ll be part of a community that values collaboration, recognizes excellence, and champions work-life balance through predictable scheduling and dependable support systems. You will receive comprehensive benefits designed to protect you and your family, including a competitive pay package, a sign-on bonus, and housing assistance to ease the transition to new cities or campuses. There are extension opportunities to continue your contract based on performance and the evolving needs of partner facilities, enabling you to extend your time with a trusted team while steadily expanding your professional portfolio.
Ready to take the next step? This is your invitation to join a company that rewards your expertise and invests in your ongoing development. If you are committed to patient safety, precise technique, and collaborative care, apply now to become part of a surgical team delivering exceptional outcomes across a range of procedures. Your skills will matter every day as you help shape the future of perioperative excellence in Phoenix—and, when you’re ready, across America’s diverse hospital landscapes. Embrace this journey with a partner that shares your commitment to growth, stability, and meaningful impact in surgical care.
