Step into a pivotal role as a Travel Sterile Processing Tech with our nationwide healthcare network, where precision, safety, and patient well-being come first. In Estes Park, Colorado, you'll reprocess and steward critical surgical instruments, ensuring every tray meets exacting standards before it touches a patient. Your work will ripple through every operating room, ambulatory center, and post-anesthesia care setting, upholding sterile technique, reducing infection risk, and empowering clinical teams to perform at their best. While Estes Park captivates with alpine scenery, this opportunity also opens doors to locations across the United States, inviting you to grow your expertise in a variety of clinical settings while exploring new communities and landscapes. Imagine the impact you'll make-protecting patients, supporting teammates, and driving operational excellence from one remarkable site to the next.

Estes Park offers more than a job; it offers a lifestyle. Nestled at the edge of the Rocky Mountain National Park corridor, the town blends mountain tranquility with outdoor adventure, charming shops, and a welcoming community. You'll enjoy immediate access to hiking, wildlife viewing, scenic drives, and seasonal festivals, all while working with a health system that values teamwork, safety, and professional development. For traveling professionals, the broader role means exposure to multiple facilities across the U.S., each with its own workflow, patient population, and equipment needs.

In this role you'll bring order to the perioperative environment through careful, compliant instrument processing. Your daily responsibilities will include decontaminating instruments, inspecting for wear or damage, and meticulously assembling trays to exact specifications. You'll operate validated sterilizers, washers, and packaging systems, ensuring accurate labeling and traceability of every instrument set. You'll maintain detailed instrument-tracking records, monitor sterilization indicators, and conduct routine quality checks to uphold the highest standards of sterility and safety. Collaboration with OR staff, infection prevention teams, and materials management will be essential as you balance turnaround times with uncompromising quality. You'll participate in ongoing process improvement, learn regulatory requirements from AAMI, CDC, and JCAHO, and have opportunities to broaden your skill set through cross-training in decontamination, sterilization, and inventory control. This role is designed for professionals who take ownership of safety, accuracy, and patient outcomes, while enjoying clear paths for skill enhancement and career growth.

Our benefits go beyond competitive pay. You'll receive weekly compensation in the range of $1,368-$1,474, aligned with your experience and the assigned location. The contract is structured to offer flexible opportunities, including potential extension options that let you stay longer in a site you've grown to love.
