Grand Junction, CO
Contracted
Community Hospital
Mid Level
Step into the operating room as a Surgical Tech on a dynamic travel assignment in Grand Junction, Colorado, and elevate patient care with your precision, resilience, and teamwork. In this role, you’ll be the steady heartbeat of the surgical suite, ensuring sterilization, accuracy, and seamless instrument handling that empower surgeons to deliver lifesaving care. Your hands will pass, count, and organize every tool with meticulous care, supporting a wide range of procedures from routine to complex. This is more than a job—it’s a purposeful path where your expertise translates into safer surgeries, shorter recovery times, and better outcomes. Imagine the confidence you’ll bring to each case, the trusted relationships you’ll build with surgical teams, and the professional growth you’ll achieve by collaborating across specialties in a fast-paced travel environment. You’ll have the chance to make a meaningful impact while exploring new communities and advancing your career.
Colorado’s beauty is more than a backdrop; it’s part of the experience. Grand Junction offers a vibrant blend of outdoor adventure, cultural events, and a welcoming community. From the red-rock canyons and scenic byways to nearby national forests and the Colorado Plateau’s awe-inspiring vistas, you’ll find countless ways to recharge after a shift. And you’ll be part of a state known for its diverse landscapes—from alpine retreats to sunlit plains—each offering unique opportunities for exploration during your downtime. Separately, you’ll discover the state’s famous natural treasures and charming towns, making every assignment not only professionally rewarding but personally enriching. If you crave a setting where professional dedication meets extraordinary scenery, this is your destination.
Location Benefits: Working in Grand Junction blends a stable, mid-sized-city rhythm with the access and flexibility of a broader national travel program. You’ll enjoy consistent hours and a predictable schedule that respects your well-being, while the program also opens possibilities to serve in varied locations across the U.S. This means you can broaden your clinical exposure—getting hands-on experience with different surgical teams, facilities, and case mixes—while maintaining the certainty you need for personal planning. The region’s cost of living, excellent outdoor recreation, and welcoming healthcare networks contribute to a balanced lifestyle. In this role, you’ll benefit from a robust support system designed for travelers: streamlined onboarding, real-time guidance, and 24/7 assistance from a dedicated travel team ready to help you navigate housing, transportation, and on-site requirements. You’ll find a strong sense of community among clinicians who value collaboration, patient-centered care, and continuous learning. Whether you stay in Grand Junction or rotate to other locations, you’ll carry with you the confidence that comes from consistent, reliable support and professional growth opportunities.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Surgical Tech, you’ll be at the core of every procedure’s success. Your key responsibilities include preparing the operating room, maintaining sterile technique, and ensuring instruments and implants are available, organized, and accounted for throughout each case. You’ll assist surgeons and nurses by passing instruments, handling specimen labeling, and performing counts to prevent retained surgical items. Your attention to detail will support patient safety from the moment anesthesia begins through recovery, with post-op clean-down and room turnover managed efficiently to minimize delay. This role offers ongoing professional development: exposure to diverse case types, mentorship from seasoned teams, and the chance to refine perfusion, hemostasis, and instrument handling across specialties. The position comes with competitive benefits, including a sign-on or completion bonus, housing assistance to simplify your logistics, and extension opportunities should you want to continue advancing your travel career beyond the initial assignment. You’ll appreciate the comprehensive support available 24/7 while you travel with the company, ensuring you’re never navigating challenges alone. Additional incentives include guaranteed hours (36.0 per week) and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,343 to $1,440, with further compensation built into completion bonuses and potential premium hours for high-demand shifts. Start date is 03/02/2026, and the assignment is structured with weeks-based durations designed to align with facility needs and your preferred pacing, while offering pathways to longer-term engagements if you choose to extend.
Company Values: The organization behind this travel opportunity is deeply committed to empowering its staff, recognizing that skilled Surgical Techs are essential to safe, effective surgical care. The culture emphasizes career advancement through continuous education, mentorship, and opportunities to broaden clinical competencies. A supportive work environment honors your expertise, encourages initiative, and values open communication. You’ll find a partner in your professional journey—one that prioritizes your development, honors your work-life balance, and supports you with resources that help you thrive both on the job and in your broader career goals.
Call to Action: If you’re a dedicated Surgical Tech seeking to elevate your practice, expand your horizons, and contribute to meaningful patient outcomes across diverse settings, this is your invitation. Apply now to join a company that values your skill, respects your time, and invests in your growth. Embark on a travel-focused career that blends professional excellence with the opportunity to explore Colorado’s beauty and the broader U.S. healthcare landscape.
