Job description

Embark on a transformative opportunity as a Sterile Processing Tech in Sitka, Alaska, where precision, compassion, and teamwork converge to keep patient care seamless and safe. This crucial role places you at the heart of surgical support, ensuring every instrument is pristine, properly sterilized, and ready to perform when it matters most. Your work will directly empower clinicians to deliver excellent outcomes, protect patients, and uphold the highest standards of infection control. Imagine the pride of contributing to a culture of meticulous care, where every pack and tray is a testament to your expertise and dedication. And beyond the scope of your daily duties, you'll have the chance to immerse yourself in the extraordinary beauty of Alaska—from Sitka's lush coastal rainforests to shimmering fjords and dramatic mountains, a place where every day offers a new perspective and a new sense of possibility.

Sitka, Alaska, offers a compelling backdrop for your professional journey. The blend of small-town warmth with access to extraordinary natural beauty creates a work environment that's as inspiring as it is supportive. In Sitka you'll enjoy tight-knit teamwork, reliable community connections, and the satisfaction of delivering essential services in a setting known for its resilience and welcoming spirit. For those who crave variety, there are opportunities to work across multiple locations through our nationwide assignments, allowing you to experience different facilities and patient communities while maintaining the stability and structure of your 40-hour guaranteed work week. This pathway combines the security and predictability that healthcare professionals value with the chance to broaden your clinical perspective and grow your skill set in diverse environments—from serene coastal communities to bustling facilities that serve varied patient demographics.

Role specifics and benefits come together to create a rewarding career chapter. As a Sterile Processing Tech, you'll be responsible for the decontamination, cleaning, packaging, and sterilization of critical surgical instruments and equipment. You'll operate sterilization units, verify biological indicators, manage instrument tracking, and ensure accurate labeling and storage to maintain a flawless sterile supply chain. Your attention to detail will support operating room readiness, minimize infection risks, and reinforce compliance with all applicable standards (including AAMI, OSHA, and facility procedures). The role offers clear pathways for professional growth within sterile processing—advancing to senior tech, lead tech, or supervisory roles, with opportunities to cross-train in related supply chain functions, instrument repackaging, or central supply leadership. In addition to skill development, you'll benefit from a competitive compensation package that includes a signing bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for contract extensions, enabling you to tailor your tenure to your goals. We provide comprehensive support throughout your assignment, including 24/7 assistance as you travel with the company, access to on-call guidance for equipment issues, and a dedicated support team that helps you navigate any logistics or clinical questions that arise. You'll be part of a program designed to empower you to deliver excellence while maintaining work-life balance through reliable scheduling and consistent hours.

Our commitment to your success goes beyond the operating room. The company values emphasize empowering staff, fostering steady career advancement, and creating a supportive, collaborative work environment where your contributions are recognized and your development is prioritized. You'll join a team that treats your professional growth as a core priority—offering training, mentoring, and opportunities to broaden your expertise in sterile processing workflows, quality assurance, and hospital operations. This culture of growth is reinforced by transparent communication, a focus on safety, and a dedication to helping you achieve long-term career goals. By supporting you with robust resources, continuous education, and a network of peers across the country, the organization stands behind you as you expand your capabilities and elevate the standard of care you help deliver.

Ready to take the next step? Apply today to join a company that truly values your contribution and invests in your professional development. This role begins on 04/06/2026, offering a contract that provides 40 guaranteed hours per week with a weekly pay range of $1,690–$1,824. While the stated hours and pay rates are estimates to illustrate the opportunity, final compensation packages and guaranteed hours will be confirmed during the hiring process.
