About The Position

Embark on a dynamic journey as a Travel OR Tech in the OR Tech specialty, with assignments centered in Plattsburgh, New York, and expanding opportunities across diverse facilities throughout the United States. This pivotal role places you at the heart of surgical teams, delivering precise instrument preparation, sterile technique, and seamless OR support that helps surgeons perform at their best. Beginning April 20, 2026, you will engage in flexible weekly blocks spanning multiple weeks, with potential extensions based on case demand and your evolving interests. As you move from site to site, you’ll build a robust portfolio of experiences across procedure types, sharpening your technical skills while contributing to safer patient outcomes. If you’re ready to blend professional growth with travel and discovery, this is your path. Location Benefits: Plattsburgh sits along the sparkling shores of Lake Champlain, where the Adirondack foothills meet small-town charm. Here you’ll enjoy a balance of outdoor recreation and cultural vibrancy, with hiking trails, scenic drives, and a welcoming community atmosphere. The region provides easy access to winter sports and summer getaways, while still keeping you within reach of broader Northeast travel options. For those eager to explore beyond Plattsburgh, opportunities to work across New York State and other U.S. locations expand your professional horizon, offering varied hospital settings—from community hospitals to larger academic centers—each with its own patient mix and learning opportunities. In addition to the immediate appeal of Upstate New York’s landscapes, the state’s rich history, local eateries, farmers markets, and regional events offer a welcoming backdrop as you immerse yourself in new teams and communities. Role Specifics and Benefits: As an OR Tech on travel assignments, your core responsibilities center on enabling flawless operative workflows. You’ll prepare operating rooms by gathering and sterilizing instruments, organizing trays, and ensuring all equipment is functioning correctly before procedures begin. You’ll assist surgeons and anesthesia teams with instrument handling, passing devices, maintaining sterile fields, applying surgical drapes, and supporting patient positioning as needed. You’ll participate in counts of sponges and needles, monitor sterility throughout cases, and help with room turnover between surgeries to ensure readiness for the next case. Your versatility supports a range of specialties, from general to specialty procedures, and you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge through exposure to new techniques and technologies. Beyond technical competence, you’ll cultivate collaborative relationships with surgeons, nurses, and perioperative staff, contributing to a culture of safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement. This role is structured to reward skilled, reliable technicians with compelling benefits. Competitive weekly pay ranges between $2,204 and $2,302, reflecting the value you bring to high-stakes surgical environments. A completion or performance bonus is available, recognizing your contributions and reliability. Housing assistance is provided to ease relocation and temporary housing needs as you transition between assignments, helping you focus on clinical excellence rather than logistics. Extension opportunities enable you to extend successful placements or shuttle to neighboring facilities with minimal disruption, maximizing both continuity of care and personal growth. You’ll have access to a robust support network, including 24/7 assistance from dedicated travel coordinators and clinical supervisors who understand the specifics of travel healthcare. From onboarding to ongoing education, you’ll receive comprehensive resources, orientation, and credentialing support to accelerate your integration into each OR team. Importantly, hours are not guaranteed; schedules vary with each assignment and facility demand, and all compensation details will be finalized during the hiring process. Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering surgical staff to advance in their careers while delivering compassionate, patient-centered care. We celebrate curiosity, resilience, and teamwork, fostering a supportive environment where your voice matters and your professional development is prioritized. We invest in your growth through ongoing training, mentorship, and exposure to varied case types, so you can broaden your expertise and assume leadership roles on future assignments. The culture emphasizes adaptability, integrity, and respect for every member of the perioperative team, ensuring you feel valued whether you’re on the road or returning to a home base. We believe that your well-being and professional fulfillment are inseparable from the quality of care you help deliver to patients and families. Call to Action: If you’re ready to apply your surgical expertise in a vibrant travel-based role, seize this opportunity to join a company that prioritizes your growth and impact. Embrace the chance to explore New York’s Upstate beauty, experience diverse OR environments, and contribute to safer surgeries across multiple communities.
