About The Position

Step into a pivotal role as a Surgical Tech in Tuba City, Arizona, where every procedure is more than a routine—it is a chance to impact lives, support healing, and collaborate with a dedicated team. This weeks-long assignment begins on 02/23/2026 and places you at the center of a fast-paced surgical suite where your precision, speed, and sterile technique help surgeons deliver safe, efficient outcomes under demanding conditions. Beyond the OR, you’ll discover that Arizona offers a tapestry of beauty and culture—from the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon to the red rock corridors near Sedona, and the expansive desert skies that turn into breathtaking sunsets. Here, your professional purpose and personal experiences can grow in tandem, letting you make meaningful contributions while enjoying the state’s diverse landscapes and outdoor adventures. Location Benefits: Working in Tuba City invites you into a community that values resilience, teamwork, and patient-centered care. You’ll become part of a stable, collaborative surgical team that handles a wide range of procedures, with the potential to journey to additional locations across the U.S. for variety and broader exposure.

Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Surgical Tech on this assignment, you will be integral to the surgical team’s success. Key responsibilities include preparing the operating room and sterile field, selecting and arranging instruments, equipment, and supplies for each case, and passing instruments to surgeons with precision and timing. You’ll assist with patient positioning, draping, and setup, participate in counts of sponges, needles, and implants, and ensure all implants and devices are accounted for before wound closure. You’ll help with intraoperative specimen handling, turnover between cases, and post-case instrument processing to maintain high standards of sterile technique and OR readiness. The role offers substantial professional growth within the surgical tech specialty, with opportunities to expand your toolkit through cross-training in related perioperative disciplines, involvement in quality improvement projects, and access to certifications or continued education that advance your clinical capabilities. In addition to the professional development you’ll receive, you’ll enjoy a comprehensive package of benefits designed with your career in mind.
