Job Description
Step into the role of Surgical Tech in Kailua, Hawaii, where precision, compassion, and teamwork converge to elevate patient care in a setting that feels as restorative as the lifestyle it supports. This opportunity places you at the heart of the operating room, where your expertise in sterile technique, instrument preparation, and intraoperative support helps surgeons perform with confidence and patients recover with dignity. As you join a dedicated perioperative team starting February 16, 2026, you’ll contribute to a variety of procedures across specialties, ensuring safety, efficiency, and flawless workflow. In a place renowned for its sunlit mornings, pristine beaches, and a welcoming community, your professional journey will be grounded in purpose and balanced by the natural beauty of Kailua. Beyond the OR, you’ll have the chance to explore the state’s iconic landscapes, from turquoise waters to emerald peaks, creating a sense of renewal that sustains your focus and passion for care.
Location Benefits: Working in Kailua offers a unique blend of professional clinical excellence and island charm. You’ll be embedded in a community that values collaboration, patient-centered care, and continuous learning, with access to facilities that champion best practices in the perioperative field. The opportunity to work in multiple locations across the U.S. enriches your experience—exposure to diverse case mixes, equipment, and hospital cultures—while you enjoy Hawaii’s exceptional climate, outdoor recreation, and a supportive network designed for traveling professionals. In Kailua and nearby Oahu facilities, you’ll experience shorter commutes, robust safety standards, and a culture of aloha that makes every shift feel more connected. The chance to rotate through different sites can broaden your clinical perspective, sharpen your troubleshooting skills, and expand your professional network, all while keeping a consistent framework of travel support and scheduling flexibility.
Role Specifics and Benefits: As a Surgical Tech, you’ll be responsible for preparing the sterile field, arranging instruments and implants, assisting the surgical team, and maintaining accurate counts throughout procedures. You’ll anticipate the needs of the surgeon, adapt to a fast-paced environment, and uphold the highest levels of asepsis and patient safety. The role offers meaningful opportunities for professional growth within the surgical specialty, with exposure to general, orthopedic, ENT, and other procedural areas that strengthen your technique and broaden your scope. In addition to growing technical proficiency, you’ll gain experience in teamwork, communication, and resource management—skills that position you for leadership roles or broader perioperative collaboration as you advance. Compensation reflects this competitive path: weekly pay in the range of $1,538 to $1,551, with potential for a sign-on bonus and housing assistance, along with extension opportunities that provide continuity and deeper integration into the team. A robust support framework accompanies you on every assignment, including 24/7 assistance from our dedicated travel team, a comprehensive onboarding process, and a responsive operations partner who helps with credentialing, housing options, and shift planning. You’ll be part of a mission-driven company that values steadiness, reliability, and a can-do attitude, while you enjoy the clinical variety that comes with traveling across facilities and, at times, across states.
Company Values: Our organization is built on empowering surgical professionals to grow—season after season. We foster a culture of continuous learning, mentorship, and transparent communication, inviting you to take ownership of your career trajectory. By prioritizing career advancement, we create clear paths for skill diversification, leadership development, and cross-specialty collaboration within a supportive and respectful work environment. The company’s commitment to staff wellbeing means you’ll benefit from consistent guidance, constructive feedback, and recognition for your contributions, ensuring you feel valued as an essential part of the perioperative team. This is more than a job—it’s a community that celebrates your expertise, supports your goals, and helps you chart a rewarding professional journey.
Call to Action: If you’re ready to elevate your surgical technology practice in a setting that honors your skill, your growth, and your well-being, apply now. This is your chance to join a company that respects your contribution, invests in your development, and keeps you thriving—both professionally and personally. Embrace the opportunity to work in Hawaii, expand your horizons through nationwide placements, and build a lasting impact in perioperative care.
