Job Description
Carve a path in surgical care as a Travel Surgical Tech in Michigan, Marshall, starting 12/29/2025. This multi‑week assignment puts you at the heart of high‑stakes operative teams where precision, collaboration, and compassion converge to protect patient safety and advance outcomes. As you step into the sterile field, you will help surgeons prepare, scrub, and pass instruments with unwavering focus, keeping patient dignity and comfort at the forefront of every procedure. The role is designed for professionals who relish responsibility, welcome continuous learning, and want to leave a tangible mark on every patient story. Beyond the OR, the region offers a blend of small‑town charm and easy access to world‑class natural beauty—from the tranquil shores of nearby lakes to scenic trails and charming downtowns steeped in history. And for a traveler at heart, the opportunity to serve across multiple U.S. locations within the same program means you can expand your professional horizons while building a robust, diverse skill set.
Marshall, Michigan, sits within reach of Battle Creek and Kalamazoo amenities, offering affordable living, strong schools, vibrant community events, and quick getaways to Michigan’s famed outdoors. You’ll enjoy living with access to parks, lakes, gardens, and cultural venues that celebrate a rich northeastern Midwest heritage. The assignment is designed with stability in mind—guaranteed 40 hours per week, competitive weekly pay between 1,668 and 1,691, and consistent scheduling, with built‑in support for successful transitions between facilities. While you operate from Marshall, the broader program presents the exciting prospect of placements across varied hospital environments—academic centers, community hospitals, and specialty clinics—each offering unique challenges that sharpen your clinical judgment and surgical dexterity.
Your responsibilities include preparing ORs, maintaining sterile technique, handling and passing instruments, assisting surgeons and nurses, and ensuring patient safety from pre‑op through post‑op care. You will be the hub of precision, keeping track of instrumentation, implants, and devices, while coordinating with anesthesia teams and circulators to minimize delays and maximize efficiency. The role offers ongoing professional growth: exposure to diverse surgical specialties, opportunities to cross‑train in advanced sterile technique, and access to continuing education stipends that help you stay current with evolving best practices. Benefits go beyond competitive pay: a signing or performance bonus where applicable, housing assistance to ease relocation, and extension opportunities that allow you to extend your contract if you value continuity and want to deepen expertise in a particular OR setting. The program emphasizes comprehensive support—24/7 assistance for traveling staff, dedicated clinical coordinators, and rapid escalation processes to keep you safe, informed, and confident on the road.
Whether you’re new to travel assignments or a seasoned traveler, the company is committed to empowering you to grow. We prioritize a supportive, inclusive culture that recognizes your contributions, fosters mentorship, and creates a clear path for career advancement.
