Pocatello, ID
Contracted
Ardent Health Services Portneuf Medical Center
Mid Level
Step into a transformative opportunity as an OR Tech in Idaho, anchored in the welcoming community of Pocatello and elevated by a national travel assignment that broadens your horizons. Beginning 01/05/2026, you’ll join a dedicated surgical services team where your precision, teamwork, and steadfast focus on patient safety empower every procedure—from routine to high-stakes cases. In this role, you’re not just passing instruments; you’re safeguarding sterile technique, anticipating the surgical workflow, assisting the team with patient positioning, specimen handling, and rapid instrument turnover that keeps the OR moving smoothly and efficiently. Your contribution helps reduce turnaround times, supports healing outcomes, and reinforces a culture of care at every level. Beyond the hospital walls, Idaho’s scenic beauty invites renewal: the rugged peaks of the nearby ranges, the surreal landscapes of Craters of the Moon, the waterfall majesty of Shoshone Falls, and the sunlit valleys that frame life in the Portneuf and beyond. Whether you’re savoring a sunset after a long shift or exploring these natural wonders on days off, you’ll discover a balance that sustains your vocation and nourishes your well-being.
Pocatello offers a compelling blend of community warmth, outdoor accessibility, and affordable living, making it an ideal base for a traveling OR Tech. You’ll appreciate a supportive local environment that values collaboration, continuous learning, and professional growth, with the flexibility to work across diverse sites in Idaho and other regions as part of a broader travel program. This role also provides opportunities to experience different hospital cultures, patient populations, and case mixes—experiences that sharpen your clinical instincts and expand your skill set. The schedule is designed with your needs in mind, enabling you to enjoy Idaho’s outdoor recreation, from trails and rivers to family-friendly events, while you build a robust portfolio of procedural exposure and team leadership opportunities. Weekly pay ranges from $1,679 to $1,806, with additional programmatic bonuses designed to recognize your performance, reliability, and the value you bring to every case. While the primary location is Pocatello, you may have the chance to contribute at partner facilities across the U.S., expanding your network and accelerating your professional trajectory. Housing support and extension opportunities are available, helping you feel settled and supported as you pursue longer-term commitments within the program. And throughout your travels, you’ll receive continuous, 24/7 assistance from our dedicated support team, ensuring you’re never alone on the road.
As an OR Tech, you’ll own responsibilities critical to surgical success: maintaining instrument sets with meticulous sterility and readiness, positioning and draping patients as directed, assisting surgeons and circulating nurses with precision, and documenting processes for quality and safety. You’ll engage in preoperative preparation, intraoperative assistance, and postoperative turnover with a mindset geared toward efficiency, safety, and patient advocacy. This role offers meaningful professional growth within the operating room specialty, opening pathways to advanced sterile technique proficiency, leadership in OR workflow optimization, and cross-functional collaboration with anesthesia and surgical teams. The package emphasizes dynamic benefits—an attractive bonus program, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions—while ensuring comprehensive support for personal and professional development. You’ll operate within a culture that prioritizes mentorship, continuous improvement, and a respectful, inclusive environment where your voice and expertise are valued. The program’s 24/7 support backbone means you’re backed by a team that coordinates housing, travel, licensure, and on-site resources so you can focus on delivering exemplary patient care.
Our company is rooted in empowering staff to advance their careers while nurturing a supportive work climate. We invest in your professional journey by offering ongoing education opportunities, access to recognized clinical mentors, and exposure to varied surgical specialties that deepen your technique and confidence. You’ll be part of a community that celebrates reliability, resilience, and the ingenuity needed to adapt to diverse hospital settings. With a mission to elevate the standard of care, we’re committed to your growth, security, and well-being, ensuring you feel respected, valued, and poised to achieve new milestones in your OR career.
If you’re ready to join a company that places your professional development at the forefront, and if you crave enriching experiences across a national travel program while making a tangible difference in patient outcomes, apply today. This is more than a job—it’s a career investment in your skills, your aspirations, and your future in perioperative care.
