Embark on a dynamic journey as an OR Tech traveling assignment in Washington, with a notable start in the scenic city of Lacey. This is your moment to make a tangible impact on patient care while sharpening your perioperative skills across diverse surgical settings. As you step into the operating room, you’ll join a collaborative team devoted to precision, safety, and compassionate care. Picture yourself moving with confidence from case to case, supporting surgeons, nurses, and anesthesia teams as you help safeguard sterile fields, manage instruments, and ensure seamless room turnovers. This opportunity isn’t just a job—it’s a platform to elevate your expertise, expand your clinical repertoire, and influence outcomes in meaningful ways. Washington state unveils a rare blend of professional fulfillment and natural beauty—from emerald forests and rugged coastlines to the glittering water of Puget Sound and the awe-inspiring majesty of Mount Rainier. Whether you’re drawn to the vibrant urban amenities of nearby cities or the tranquil pace of the Pacific Northwest, you’ll find inspiration in every shift, every patient story, and every new skill you acquire.
Location Benefits: Working in Lacey provides a gateway to the renowned Olympia-Tacoma corridor, where a community-focused atmosphere meets big-city access. Lacey’s accessibility means shorter commutes, more time for training, and easier participation in continuing education opportunities. You’ll enjoy the region’s mild seasons, a rich blend of outdoor recreation and cultural events, and proximity to stunning natural areas that invite weekend adventures after demanding shifts. The opportunity also exists to extend your travel footprint, offering the flexibility to work in various locations across the U.S. When you rotate to other sites, you’ll experience new hospital cultures, different surgical specialties, and a broadened professional network—all while maintaining the stability of a trusted support system back home. Our program emphasizes the unique advantages of each location, from the rain-kissed landscapes of the Northwest to the sunlit corridors of partner facilities across the country. And while you’re expanding your horizons, you’ll benefit from consistent access to resources, housing options, and on-call guidance designed to keep you focused on delivering excellence in patient care.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As an OR Tech, you’ll be entrusted with key responsibilities that drive the efficiency and safety of the perioperative environment. Your duties include preparing the sterile field, assisting with instrument counts, organizing trays and equipment for a range of procedures, and supporting circulating nurses and scrub teams to ensure timely case progression. You’ll help with patient positioning and draping as appropriate, anticipate instrument needs, and support equipment readiness for general, ortho, spine, and potentially robotic-assisted cases. Your role will offer continuous opportunities for professional growth—gaining exposure to a wide spectrum of surgical specialties, refining your sterile technique, and learning advanced intraoperative workflows that enhance patient safety and operational performance. In addition to technical development, you’ll benefit from competitive compensation, including a sign-on bonus when eligible, housing assistance or stipends, and opportunities to extend assignments into longer-term placements based on performance and facility needs. The program also guarantees robust support for travel logistics, including 24/7 assistance while you’re on the road with our company, ensuring that you’re never alone when you encounter scheduling changes, housing inquiries, or clinical questions. Start date is 04/13/2026, with weeks-long assignments designed to fit your personal and professional timeline, and the potential for extension to align with career goals. Note that weekly pay ranges between $990 and $1,070, reflecting the dynamic market for perioperative staffing and the high demand for skilled OR technologists. While the stated weekly pay is a benchmark, final compensation and scheduling will be confirmed during the hiring process. The program structure recognizes that Guaranteed Hours are 0.0, meaning hours are based on assignment needs, with a clear pathway for extension opportunities if you’re a strong fit and the facility requires continued coverage. This model empowers you to choose assignments that match your desired pace, preferences for case mix, and personal commitments, while maintaining a consistent network of support and advancement avenues within the organization.
Company Values: Our company is built on empowering perioperative professionals to grow—not only in the OR but across their entire careers. We’re committed to fostering a supportive, inclusive environment where your expertise is respected, your questions are welcomed, and your career trajectory is shaped by your aspirations. Expect transparent feedback, structured development paths, and access to ongoing education that keeps you at the forefront of surgical technologies and best practices. The environment emphasizes teamwork, ethical patient care, and a culture that prioritizes well-being, stability, and mutual respect. We know that when you feel supported, you perform at your best—so we invest in you with resources, mentorship, and a community that celebrates your contributions as you advance.

Apply now to join a company that values your skillset, supports your growth, and offers you the chance to experience Washington’s beauty and diverse medical environments while building a resilient, future-focused career. Your next chapter begins with a role that respects your expertise, challenges you to expand your capabilities, and rewards you for your commitment to exceptional patient care.
