Embark on a transformative travel assignment as an OR Tech in Pocatello, Idaho, starting February 23, 2026. This focused opportunity puts you at the heart of modern operating rooms, where precision and teamwork safeguard patient outcomes every day. You’ll bring essential instrument handling, sterile technique, and rapid decision-making to the scrub and circulating roles that keep surgeries flowing smoothly. This is more than a job—it’s a chance to sharpen your expertise in a dynamic setting while making a tangible difference in patients’ lives. The contract is designed for several weeks, with weekly pay ranging from $1,781 to $1,900, and a pathway to extension based on performance, unit needs, and your professional goals. While guaranteed hours are listed at 0.0, the scope of opportunities and consistent placement within trusted facilities means you’ll often find steady, rewarding work throughout your assignment.

Idaho’s beauty is more than a backdrop; it’s a daily invitation to explore. Picture mornings filled with the quiet majesty of mountain ranges, afternoons against the backdrop of sprawling valleys, and evenings that invite outdoor adventures after a fulfilling day in the OR. The state’s vast wilderness, crystal-clear lakes, and iconic Sawtooth and White Cloud ranges offer hikers, fishers, skiers, and explorers a host of options when you’re off rotation. In Pocatello, you’ll also enjoy a welcoming community, a lower cost of living, and a pace that supports both professional focus and personal well-being. Separately, you can explore the broader opportunities this program offers, including the possibility of placements in other locations across the U.S., enabling you to broaden your clinical experience while traveling with a trusted partner.

Location benefits extend beyond the city lines. Pocatello provides access to high-caliber healthcare facilities that value teamwork, safety, and patient-centered care. You’ll work with seasoned teams that understand what it takes to deliver precise, efficient surgical care, while still offering room for you to grow into leadership roles, teach clinical skills to peers, and refine critical thinking under demanding circumstances. The arrangement also offers the flexibility you deserve: the chance to work in diverse settings across the U.S. when opportunities arise, expanding your professional horizon, building a robust resume, and connecting with a broad network of health professionals—all while enjoying the supportive infrastructure that accompanies travel assignments.

Role specifics and benefits form the core of this opportunity. As an OR Tech, you’ll anticipate and support the needs of the surgical team by preparing and passing instruments, maintaining strict sterile technique, and ensuring the integrity of the operating field. Your responsibilities include assisting with instrument counts, organizing trays, anticipating equipment needs, and collaborating with surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists to optimize efficiency and patient safety. You’ll be involved in rapid turnover, room setup, and post-operative care transitions, with ongoing opportunities to deepen your specialty skills in trauma, pediatric, orthopedic, or specialty procedures as surgeries vary. The program emphasizes competitive compensation with a built-in bonus structure, housing assistance to ease relocation, and the chance to extend your assignment if you demonstrate excellence and fit with the facility’s needs. In addition, you’ll receive comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from the travel program team while you’re on assignment, ensuring you’re never navigating logistics alone and that clinical priorities remain front and center.
