Mid Level
Embark on a transformative journey as a Surgical Tech in Marysville, California, beginning January 5, 2026. This isn’t just a job—it's a chance to directly influence patient outcomes in a fast-paced surgical setting while growing your expertise in a highly respected specialty. In the operating room, you’ll be the calm, capable force that keeps procedures flowing smoothly—from setting up sterile fields and preparing instruments to passing critical tools and maintaining meticulous counts. Your precision, teamwork, and vigilance safeguard patient safety and contribute to the trust that patients place in their surgical teams. If you’ve ever imagined applying your hands-on skill set to complex cases, this assignment offers the perfect stage to advance your career, refine your technique, and build clinical confidence that will open doors to broader opportunities in surgical services. And beyond the OR, California’s diverse landscapes—from the tranquil Feather River valleys around Marysville to the awe-inspiring Sierra Nevada foothills—invite you to unwind, recharge, and explore breathtaking natural beauty during downtime.
Marysville, tucked in the northern Sacramento Valley, offers a welcoming community feel with convenient access to the state’s iconic experiences. You’ll enjoy a balanced pace that blends the familiarity of a regional hub with the excitement of nearby urban centers. The locale provides easy access to outdoor adventures, historical sites, farmers markets, and a calendar of local events that celebrate California’s rich culture. For those who crave a wider horizon, the position can also present the opportunity to work across multiple locations within the United States, expanding your professional network and exposing you to diverse hospital cultures, patient populations, and surgical techniques. The city’s proximity to larger cities means you can tailor your downtime to reflect you—whether that’s a day trip to the mountains, a weekend at a lake, or a cultural excursion in a nearby metropolis. In this role, you’ll benefit from a framework designed to maximize your personal and professional quality of life while you deliver exceptional patient care.
As a Surgical Tech in this travel assignment, you’ll assume key responsibilities that are central to successful operations in the operating room. You’ll prepare sterile instruments and equipment, arrange sterile packs, and inventory supplies to ensure rapid, accurate access during procedures. You’ll assist surgeons by passing instruments, maintaining a sterile field, and anticipating needs to minimize delays. You’ll participate in surgical counts and collaborate closely with circulating nurses, anesthesia teams, and surgical residents to maintain safety protocols and patient privacy. This role offers meaningful professional growth: you’ll gain exposure to a variety of specialties, refine your instrument understanding, and develop the adaptability that comes from working in different hospital cultures. You’ll have the chance to pursue certifications and cross-training opportunities that enhance your marketability, and you’ll be positioned for potential extensions that align with your career ambitions. In addition to core duties, you’ll be part of a supportive framework that recognizes your contributions and rewards your commitment with competitive compensation.
This position comes with a compelling package designed to attract skilled professionals who are motivated by both performance and personal growth. Weekly pay ranges from $1,415 to $1,562, reflecting the value you bring to the operating room and your experience level. There is a sign-on bonus and housing assistance designed to ease relocation and daily living, so you can focus on performing at your best from day one. While there are no guaranteed hours in this assignment, the structure is designed to offer steady work opportunities through contract extensions and continued placement, allowing you to plan ahead and build a predictable and rewarding travel career. The program also provides comprehensive support services, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company. From travel logistics and housing coordination to clinical support and safety resources, you’ll always have a dedicated team backing you, ensuring you’re never alone on the road or in the OR.
The company behind this opportunity is deeply committed to empowering staff to grow within the field, fostering a culture of professional development and collaboration. You’ll find a workplace where mentorship, ongoing education, and performance recognition are tangible, helping you advance toward leadership roles, expanded clinical responsibilities, or specialized tracks within surgical services. The emphasis on a supportive environment means you’ll work with colleagues who value teamwork, transparency, and a shared passion for delivering high-quality patient care. Expect constructive feedback, access to tools and resources, and a leadership team that prioritizes your well-being and career trajectory as much as your day-to-day performance.
If you’re ready to elevate your surgical tech career and embrace a new chapter in California’s storied landscape, this is your invitation to apply. You’ll join a program that respects your expertise, provides meaningful growth opportunities, and supports you every step of the way as you deliver outstanding patient outcomes. Marysville’s warmth, the region’s natural beauty, and the broader scope of travel opportunities across the U.S. create a unique backdrop for a fulfilling professional journey. Start date is January 5, 2026, with weeks-long assignments designed to fit your goals and skills. This is your moment to contribute, learn, and thrive within a company that values your dedication and champions your ongoing development.
