Step into a pivotal role as a Travel Surgical Tech in Phoenix, Arizona, where precision, teamwork, and patient care drive every operation. This multi-week assignment places you at the heart of OR excellence, supporting surgical teams across a range of procedures—from orthopedics to general surgery—so you can impact lives with every instrument pass, sterile setup, and meticulous count. Your expertise keeps the sterile field intact, safeguards patient safety, and helps surgeons perform at their best. Beyond the OR, you’ll discover the remarkable beauty of Arizona, from sunlit desert landscapes to the awe of the Grand Canyon, Sedona’s red rocks, and peaceful desert vistas that invite time outside the hospital walls.

Location benefits: Phoenix offers a thriving healthcare landscape with access to leading hospitals, diverse communities, and opportunities to collaborate with experienced teams. The city’s mild winters and outdoor recreation create a balanced lifestyle, whether you’re hiking in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve, enjoying a street festival downtown, or catching a game at a premier venue. For clinicians who crave variety, this assignment also opens pathways to rotate through facilities across the U.S., expanding your professional network, exposing you to different perioperative teams and protocols, and enriching your clinical confidence in ways travel can uniquely deliver. You’ll find vibrant neighborhoods, cultural events, and an urban-suburban mix that supports both your professional drive and personal interests, making Phoenix not just a job site but a launchpad for living well while advancing your surgical tech career.

Role specifics and benefits: In this travel role, your primary responsibilities include preparing and maintaining sterile fields, scrubbing and gowning, passing instruments, performing instrument counts, and assisting with patient positioning and specimen handling.

You’ll gain exposure to multiple specialties and procedures, with opportunities for cross-training and advancement within the surgical tech pathway. The position offers competitive compensation, including a weekly pay range of $2,124 to $2,211, and guaranteed hours of 24.0 per week. The assignment begins on 01/05/2026 and runs for several weeks, with the potential for extension based on performance and staffing needs. In addition to a competitive base, the package may include a welcome bonus, housing assistance, and opportunities to extend your assignment to continue growth in your specialty.
