Bozeman, MT
Contracted
Bozeman Deaconess Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal role as a Surgical Tech in Bozeman, Montana, beginning on 01/15/2026, and bring your precision, teamwork, and care to the operating room where every instrument counts and every patient matters. This traveling assignment is designed for weeks, with guaranteed 40.0 hours per week and a competitive pay range of 2,211 to 2,343 dollars per week. You’ll support surgeons, nurses, and anesthesiologists in high-stakes environments, helping to maintain sterile fields, prepare instruments, and ensure smooth case flow from start to finish. Your expertise will directly impact patient outcomes, surgical efficiency, and the confidence of the entire team. And because growth matters, you’ll have opportunities to expand your role and skills across diverse procedures and settings—potentially extending your assignment to deepen your experience and professional standing.
Bozeman offers more than just a role; it offers a living laboratory where work and wonder intertwine. Nestled near the mountains, this city blends outdoor adventure with a vibrant cultural scene, remarkable dining, and a welcoming community. After a shift, you can hike to the Bridger Bowl or take in the breathtaking views of the Gallatin Valley, explore the sparkling streams, or jog along scenic trails that weave through the region. The nearby Beartooth and Northern Rocky Mountain landscapes provide endless opportunities for weekend exploration, whether you’re skiing in winter, hiking in summer, or enjoying the fall colors along quiet backcountry lanes. For those who choose to travel beyond Bozeman, this role opens doors to a spectrum of U.S. facilities—from community hospitals to larger academic-affiliated centers—each offering unique patient populations, equipment, and processes that will broaden your surgical tech repertoire and sharpen your adaptability. You’ll gain exposure to different OR teams, surgical specialties, and workflow environments, all while enjoying the supporting traits of a stable, travel-friendly program.
As a Surgical Tech on this contract, you’ll be at the heart of the operating suite’s rhythm. Your primary responsibilities include preparing sterile fields, passing instruments, retracting, handling counts, and maintaining meticulous sterile technique to safeguard patient safety. You’ll set up rooms for a variety of procedures, anticipate instrument needs, and coordinate with the circulator and surgeon to optimize case timing and efficiency. The role offers meaningful pathways for professional growth within the surgical technology specialty, including cross-training across different procedures, exposure to varied instrumentation sets, and the chance to take on lead or mentorship opportunities as you gain experience. Beyond the technical duties, you’ll receive a comprehensive benefits package featuring a bonus structure, housing assistance, and potential contract extensions that align with your career plans. The support network is robust: 24/7 assistance from our traveling support team, access to clinical leadership for guidance, and streamlined onboarding, credentialing, and site logistics to keep you focused on patient care and your own development.
Our company is anchored in empowering staff—creating a culture of opportunity, recognition, and collaboration. We’re committed to your career advancement and to maintaining a supportive work environment where your voice is heard and your professional goals are within reach. You’ll find ongoing education, mentorship, and transparent communication as core elements of daily life here, along with pathways to continue growing—whether through extended assignments, transitions to permanent roles, or broader scope within our network. We culture patient-centered care and professional integrity, ensuring that every team member feels valued, supported, and prepared to deliver the highest standards of surgical excellence while balancing work-life realities.
If you’re ready to make a measurable impact in surgical care, while embracing Montana’s outdoors and the opportunity to explore other regions across the country, this is your moment. Apply now to join a team that respects your skill, rewards your dedication, and fosters your professional development. Your journey begins January 15, 2026, in Bozeman, with the option to extend to additional sites across the U.S. as you grow and choose your path. This is more than a job—it’s a meaningful career move that combines steady earnings, comprehensive support, and a commitment to your ongoing growth as a surgical professional.
Please note: The hours and pay rates listed are estimates and may vary. Final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
