This multi‑week assignment begins on 01/05/2026, offering you the chance to immerse yourself in high‑level operating room environments while advancing your career alongside seasoned surgeons and dedicated perioperative teams. As you bring clinical precision to the table, envision the impact of your expertise on lives, hospital throughput, and patient confidence. New York State’s vibrant landscapes and cultural richness set the backdrop for a fulfilling professional chapter, where technical mastery meets compassionate care in a city that blends historic charm with modern healthcare innovation.

The city offers a robust hospital network, access to diverse surgical cases, and a community that values teamwork and precision. Rochester’s professional environment emphasizes state‑of‑the‑art equipment, supportive leadership, and opportunities to learn from renowned specialists. If you’re drawn to broader experiences, this assignment also opens doors to work across other locations in the U.S., enabling you to broaden your clinical perspective, adapt to varied OR cultures, and build a resilient portfolio of cases. You’ll enjoy the balance of a strong local base with the flexibility to explore new settings, all while enjoying Rochester’s rich arts scene, culinary variety, and family‑friendly neighborhoods.

In this role, your responsibilities center on patient safety, sterile technique, and seamless OR logistics. You’ll assist with instrument management, room turnover, cases ranging from routine to complex, and collaboration with surgeons, nurses, and anesthesia teams to anticipate needs. You’ll monitor specimen labeling, verify counts, and ensure compliance with infection control standards, always prioritizing patient dignity and comfort. The position offers substantial room for professional growth—pursue advanced perioperative procedures, learn new surgical platforms, and contribute to quality improvement initiatives that shape better patient experiences. The compensation package is designed to attract top talent, with a competitive weekly pay range of $1,281-$1,342, reflecting the value you bring to high‑stakes procedures. Additional benefits include a bonus structure, housing assistance, and meaningful extension opportunities that recognize your skills and dedication. You’ll receive comprehensive support, including 24/7 assistance from our dedicated travel team as you navigate assignments, troubleshoot scheduling, and coordinate logistics to keep your focus on clinical excellence. You’ll be well‑positioned to develop leadership capabilities, mentor newer techs, and contribute to a culture of safety, efficiency, and clinical excellence across diverse surgical settings.
Our company values your growth, autonomy, and well‑being. We are dedicated to empowering our staff through transparent career pathways, accessible training resources, and a collaborative work environment where you are respected as a crucial member of the surgical team.
