About The Position

Step into a pivotal Sterile Processing Tech role in Baltimore, Maryland, where your meticulous work safeguards every procedure and every patient. In this contract, your expertise in decontamination, sterilization, packaging, and sterile storage will keep operating rooms running smoothly and efficiently. You’ll support surgical teams by ensuring instruments are properly cleaned, inspected for integrity, correctly organized, and ready for immediate use. This is more than a job—it’s a pathway to deepen your mastery of sterile processing, reinforce quality control, and advance within the specialty. You’ll begin on 01/19/2026, and the arrangement is measured in weeks with a consistent 40 guaranteed hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $957 to $1,023. As you contribute to patient care, you’ll also have the chance to explore Maryland’s diverse beauty—historic neighborhoods and waterfronts along the Inner Harbor, scenic parks, and easy weekend excursions to Annapolis’s harbor life, the rolling farmland of the Chesapeake Bay region, and serene escapes that showcase the state’s natural charm. For those who crave variety, there’s also the opportunity to work across different locations in the U.S., gaining broader experience while remaining supported by a dedicated employer. Baltimore’s vibrant urban core blends culture, history, and innovation with easy access to Maryland’s famous coastlines and countryside. In this role, you’ll enjoy a stable schedule in a dynamic city known for its waterfront charm, world-class seafood, and a thriving arts scene. The work-life balance is supported by a structured contract that emphasizes consistency and 40 hours per week, with weekly pay that reflects your skills and dedication. Beyond the city, the model offers potential placements in other U.S. locations, providing you with opportunities to experience diverse hospital settings, patient populations, and regional practices. Maryland itself offers beautiful outdoor escapes—strolling along the Inner Harbor, biking along the Towson trails, or weekend trips to historic Annapolis and nearby state parks. This combination of steady professional growth and the chance to explore new places makes the role appealing for clinicians who value both career development and enriching experiences outside the hospital. As a Sterile Processing Tech on assignment, your core responsibilities include decontaminating, inspecting, and sterilizing instruments; handling packaging and labeling for sterile storage; tracking instrument sets with accuracy; preparing sterile processing areas for OR readiness; and maintaining strict adherence to infection control standards and regulatory guidelines. You’ll collaborate with surgical teams and central supply staff to minimize turnaround times and ensure instrument integrity for every case. The position offers professional growth within the sterile processing discipline, with exposure to decontamination, sterilization validation, instrumentation tracking, and QA processes that strengthen your clinical contributions. The package highlights competitive benefits, including a sign-on style bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions based on performance and facility need. You’ll receive comprehensive support from our team, including 24/7 assistance while traveling with the company, ensuring you always have help for scheduling, housing, and onboarding questions. The contract emphasizes growth opportunities in the specialty, with access to additional trainings and certifications that can expand your scope of practice and prepare you for advanced roles in supply chain, infection prevention, or OR support. Practically, you’ll be working with a guaranteed 40 hours per week, a predictable schedule that supports personal plans, and a weekly pay range designed to reflect the value you bring to the sterile processing workflow. Our organization is dedicated to empowering sterile processing professionals, recognizing that skilled technicians are essential to safe, high-quality patient care.
