In this essential role, you’ll be at the heart of the operating room, supporting sterile technique, instrument preparation, and seamless coordination with surgeons, nurses, and technicians. Your attention to detail and proactive mindset help protect patient safety, streamline case flow, and ensure each procedure proceeds with confidence. As you move through a wide array of cases—from routine to complex, specialty-driven procedures—you’ll expand your technical repertoire, sharpen your judgment under pressure, and position yourself for meaningful growth within the OR tech pathway. And when you step outside the OR, Washington’s natural beauty invites you to explore its diverse landscapes—from the sparkling waters of Puget Sound to the evergreen foothills of the Cascades and the welcoming communities around Olympia—offering moments to recharge and reconnect with what inspires you.

Role specifics and benefits are designed to accelerate your career while honoring your lifestyle. As an OR Tech, you’ll scrub and circulate, maintaining sterile fields, passing instruments with precision, and anticipating the needs of the surgical team.

Your role is pivotal in ensuring room readiness, proper turnover, and the flow of cases from start to finish. This opportunity promotes professional growth through exposure to a broad spectrum of procedures and specialties, with clear pathways for advancement within the OR tech discipline. You’ll enjoy competitive weekly pay ranging from $1,128 to $1,207, with the added potential for a sign-on bonus or performance bonus where applicable.
