Contracted
URMC Strong Memorial Hospital
Mid Level
Step into a pivotal operating room role as a Travel Surgical Tech in Rochester, New York, beginning April 13, 2026, for a multiweek assignment that places your surgical precision at the center of patient care. You’ll be a vital member of the perioperative team, supporting sterile technique, instrument handling, and teamwork that keep complex procedures moving smoothly from start to finish. As you partner with surgeons, nurses, and staff across general, orthopedic, vascular, and specialty cases, you’ll sharpen your clinical instincts, elevate your instrument repertoire, and gain exposure to a breadth of procedures that strengthen your leadership and adaptability. Beyond the OR, New York’s Upstate charm invites exploration: the Genesee River valleys, the Finger Lakes wine trails, the scenic parks around Rochester, vibrant arts scenes, and a history-rich landscape that blends city energy with easy access to nature. This is more than a job—it’s a gateway to professional growth amid a region famed for its resilience, culture, and natural beauty.
Location benefits go beyond a prestigious surgical environment. Rochester sits at a crossroads of innovation, education, and community, offering access to top-tier facilities, continuing education opportunities, and collegial teams that value collaboration and mentorship. The assignment also provides the chance to work across various locations in the United States, expanding your professional horizons and your personal adaptability as you move through different facilities, protocols, and patient populations. You’ll enjoy the comfort of housing assistance that helps ease transitions, paired with competitive weekly pay that ranges between $1,658 and $1,806, supported by an extension pathway that lets you plan your next steps with clarity. As you travel, you’ll never face questions alone—the program delivers 24/7 support from a dedicated team, ready to assist with logistics, facility specifics, or any clinical questions that arise on the road. Flexible scheduling and the opportunity to rotate through assignments aligned with your specialty ensure you can balance career ambition with personal interests while expanding your professional footprint.
In terms of role specifics, you’ll manage core responsibilities that underpin safe, efficient procedures: setting up sterile fields and OR trays, passing instruments with precision, assisting the surgeon and circulator, maintaining accurate instrument counts, and ensuring patient safety throughout the case. You’ll participate in preoperative preparation, assist with patient positioning, and help with turnover and instrument tracking between cases, contributing to a smooth flow in busy OR environments. The position invites ongoing professional growth within the Surgical Tech specialty by exposing you to diverse surgical teams and case mixes, enabling you to broaden your skill set, gain confidence, and position yourself for future leadership or specialty-focused roles. Benefits include a competitive package featuring a signing bonus, housing assistance, and clear extension opportunities, so progress remains tangible across successive assignments. You’ll have access to robust support structures, including 24/7 travel assistance, a responsive recruiter, and educational resources designed to enhance competency, regulatory compliance, and career progression. Start date is 04/13/2026, with the duration defined by the facility and project needs; through performance and demand, extensions may be readily pursued. The weekly pay reflects a range of $1,658–$1,806, with final terms discussed during the hiring process to align with the specific assignment. Hours may vary based on facility workflow and patient volume, and you’ll be supported each step of the way as you adapt to new schedules and teams.
Our company values empower your growth and place collaboration at the heart of every assignment. We’re committed to creating a supportive, inclusive environment where Surgical Techs can advance their careers while maintaining balance, well-being, and professional satisfaction. You’ll find clear pathways for skill development, mentorship from experienced perioperative professionals, and transparent communication that keeps you informed about opportunities, expectations, and milestones.
