This opportunity is crafted for experienced Surgical Technologists who thrive in fast paced OR environments, excel in teamwork, and are eager to broaden their expertise across a variety of surgical specialties. Start Date: 01/12/2026. This assignment spans several weeks with the potential for extension, inviting you to grow with a dedicated team while expanding your professional footprint in an area known for its rich community and strong healthcare values. As you dedicate yourself to essential intraoperative support, you’ll also have the chance to savor the beauty and diversity of California—from forested foothills and winding rivers to sunlit courtyards and vibrant city life, a reminder that healing happens in settings as varied as the people you serve.
California isn’t just a backdrop—it’s a landscape that invites exploration and balance. In Marysville you’ll enjoy a community that values outdoor recreation, access to natural wonders, and a welcoming atmosphere for families and professionals alike. Whether you’re drawn to nearby parks and scenic trails, easy drives to the Sierra Nevada foothills, or weekend getaways to famed wine regions and coastlines, the state’s breadth mirrors the breadth of your career here. Beyond the local charm, this role also opens doors to opportunities across the United States, allowing you to experience different hospital cultures, surgical teams, and patient populations while continuing to grow your own clinical repertoire. You’ll gain exposure that broadens your confidence, enhances your adaptability, and reinforces your value in both established ORs and evolving procedural environments.
Location benefits extend from the quiet charm of Marysville to the possibilities of nationwide placement. In Marysville, you’ll find a supportive community with access to strong school systems, urban conveniences within a short drive, and a climate that blends seasonal variety with practical planning for travel healthcare professionals. The chance to work across multiple U.S. locations is an added advantage, offering you the flexibility to tailor your assignments to your preferred environments—whether you’re drawn to high-volume urban facilities, regional medical centers with specialized programs, or community hospitals known for teamwork and patient-centered care. Each location brings unique insights—different surgical teams, varying case mixes, and opportunities to refine technique, equipment handling, and workflow optimization—while maintaining the consistency of professional support and guidance you expect.
Role specifics and benefits come together to empower your career while honoring your personal commitments. As a Surgical Tech on assignment, you’ll:
- Prepare and drape the sterile field, arrange and pass instruments, and anticipate the surgeon’s needs to ensure efficient, safe procedures.
- Correctly sterilize, inventory, and manage intraoperative instruments and supplies, supporting a seamless workflow in diverse operating room settings.
- Assist the surgical team with scrub, gowning, gloving, suction, and specimen handling, while adhering to strict aseptic technique and safety protocols.

- Participate in instrument turnover, room set-up, and post-case documentation, contributing to continuous improvement and standardized practices.
- Seek ongoing growth through cross-training across specialties, expanding your procedural exposure and sharpening your adaptability.
- Take advantage of a competitive compensation package, including a weekly pay range of $1,463–$1,553, a sign-on or performance bonus where applicable, housing assistance, and opportunities for contract extensions or renewals.
- Receive robust, 24/7 support from a dedicated travel healthcare team, with real-time assistance and guidance as you navigate assignments across locations.
