Job Description
Seize a pivotal Sterile Processing Tech role in Colorado's mountain heartland, where precision, vigilance, and teamwork secure patient safety in every procedure. In Glenwood Springs—famed for mineral springs, spectacular canyons, and abundant outdoor recreation—you’ll join a mission-driven team delivering sterile excellence to operating rooms, ambulatory surgical centers, and perioperative services. This assignment starts on 01/20/2026 and extends for several weeks, with 40 guaranteed hours per week and a competitive weekly pay range of $1,358 to $1,440. If you take pride in flawless instrument readiness and efficient turnover, you’ll find a supportive environment that values your skill set and your impact on patient care.
Colorado’s landscape offers a rare blend of quiet mountain towns and vibrant communities. Glenwood Springs puts you steps from hot springs, the Colorado River, and unmatched hiking and biking trails, with easy access to the Roaring Fork Valley’s amenities. When you’re ready to broaden horizons, the program also provides opportunities to work at other facilities across the United States, letting you experience diverse clinical settings, equipment, and OR teams. Across assignments, you’ll sharpen your technique with different sterilization technologies, inventory systems, and perioperative workflows, all while enjoying the region’s natural beauty and outdoor culture during downtime.
Role Specifics and Benefits: In this role, you’ll oversee decontamination, inspection, sterilization, packaging, and the secure storage of instruments and implants. You’ll operate cleaning and sterilization equipment, verify cycles, monitor sterilant parameters, and maintain meticulous records to support traceability and quality assurance. Your work ensures instrument integrity, minimizes delays, and contributes to safer anesthesia and surgical outcomes. You’ll partner with OR staff, nursing leadership, and supply chain teams to optimize tray readiness, maintain instrument inventories, and implement standardized procedures that meet regulatory and accrediting standards. The position offers meaningful professional growth: continued exposure to multiple surgical specialties, access to relevant certifications, cross-training opportunities, and the potential for assignment extensions based on performance and department needs. We provide a comprehensive benefits package that includes a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and the possibility of extended engagements. A dedicated travel coordinator and 24/7 support team are available to assist you as you transition between sites, shifts, and time zones, ensuring you have responsive help whenever you need it.
Company Values: Our client organization is dedicated to empowering staff, promoting clear paths for career advancement, and maintaining a supportive, respectful work environment. From onboarding through ongoing education, the company emphasizes mentorship, continuous improvement, and recognition of high-quality work. You’ll join a culture that prioritizes accuracy, accountability, teamwork, and compassionate patient care, with leadership that encourages initiative and provides transparent opportunities for progression.
