Embark on a transformative journey as an OR Tech in Hawaii, where every procedure you support helps restore function, alleviate pain, and bring patients back to the people and moments that matter most. In this dedicated operating room environment, your precision, vigilance, and teamwork will be the backbone of high‑stakes surgeries, from routine to complex. You’ll partner with surgeons, nurses, and anesthesia teams to ensure sterile technique, accurate instrument counts, and seamless case flow. Your role goes beyond passing instruments; you’ll anticipate needs, safeguard patient safety, and contribute to outcomes that families will remember for a lifetime. Envision yourself growing in a setting that values expertise, compassion, and a calm, steady presence under pressure. While you’re making an impact in Hilo, you’ll also have the opportunity to explore Hawaii’s famed natural beauty during downtime—from the lush rainforests and volcanic landscapes to pristine beaches and vibrant cultural experiences. Picture dawn vistas over the Pacific, weekend adventures along the coast, and the restorative peace that comes from balancing demanding work with the island’s unique spirit.

Location benefits: Working in Hilo offers a warm, community‑oriented hospital environment that prioritizes patient safety, teamwork, and professional development. You’ll experience a blend of Pacific Island culture, island hospitality, and modern perioperative standards, all while contributing to high‑quality care. The assignment also opens doors to opportunities across the United States, delivering exposure to a diverse range of facilities and surgical teams. This breadth of experience can accelerate your clinical skills, broaden your professional network, and enrich your resume, all while enjoying the flexibility and adventure that travel assignments provide. In Hawaii you’ll benefit from stable logistics, supportive local networks, and access to housing options designed for traveling professionals, plus the chance to immerse yourself in a culture renowned for warmth, resilience, and hospitality.

Role specifics and benefits: As an OR Tech, you will support the perioperative team by preparing and maintaining sterile instrumentation, assisting with instrument counts, positioning and draping, and ensuring a sterile field throughout the procedure. You’ll anticipate the surgeons’ needs, pass instruments efficiently, handle specimens according to protocol, and coordinate with circulating staff to maintain momentum and safety across cases. There is substantial room for professional growth within this specialty: you can advance your skills through cross‑training in specialized procedures, equipment management, and leadership tasks in circulating roles on complex cases. Our compensation reflects the value you bring, with weekly pay in the range of $663 to $697, plus a bonus program and housing assistance. We also offer extension opportunities that enable you to renew or expand your contract based on performance and department needs, giving you control over your steady, rewarding travel timeline. Comprehensive support is something you can rely on—24/7 assistance as you travel, a dedicated travel concierge, credentialing help, and on‑going guidance to troubleshoot any situation that arises. You’ll be backed by a team that keeps you connected, informed, and prepared wherever your assignments take you, with resources focused on maintaining your clinical skills, safety standards, and personal well‑being. While the stated hours per week begin at 0.0, extensions and site needs can increase your weekly load as you progress and demonstrate capability in new environments.

Company values: Our organization is built on empowering staff and fostering a culture of career advancement, continuous learning, and mutual respect. We’re committed to creating a supportive, inclusive workplace where your experience is recognized, your goals are nurtured, and mentorship is readily available. You’ll find pathways to expand your perioperative competencies, leadership potential, and cross‑facility opportunities that enable you to shape a long‑term career in the operating room—and you’ll do so with colleagues who value your expertise and well‑being.
