Job DescriptionStep into a pivotal Surgical Tech role in Norman, Oklahoma, where every procedure you support directly translates into safer surgeries, smoother procedures, and improved patient outcomes. In this essential role within the Surgical Tech specialty, you will be at the heart of the operating room, ensuring sterile technique, preparing and passing instruments, anticipating surgeon needs, and maintaining a flawless surgical field from skin prep to wound closure. Your meticulous collaboration with nurses, physicians, and the broader OR team will help accelerate recovery timelines and elevate the standard of care our patients expect. This opportunity begins on 01/05/2026 and is designed for a Weeks‑long assignment that provides a robust, consistent schedule with guaranteed hours, empowering you to plan with confidence while you deliver critical support. Norman offers a welcoming community feel, convenient access to Oklahoma City’s amenities, and a backdrop of cultural events and educational opportunities that make every workday meaningful. Beyond Norman, the arrangement also opens possibilities to work across select locations in the U.S., expanding your professional horizons while you raise the bar for surgical excellence. Located in the heart of Norman, with easy access to the broader Oklahoma City metro, this role blends vibrant local life with professional growth. Norman is known for its thriving medical community, excellent dining and entertainment options, and a family-friendly atmosphere that makes long shifts feel more manageable. The region combines affordability with high quality of life, enabling you to enjoy outdoor spaces like the nearby Lake Thunderbird State Park, the tranquil beauty of the Washita River valleys, and the scenic landscapes of the Tallgrass Prairie preserve. If you’re drawn to broader adventures, the assignment also provides opportunities to work in other locations across the United States, allowing you to experience diverse surgical teams, different hospital cultures, and a range of case mixes. Your travel‑ready skill set will be valued wherever you go, while the Oklahoma chapter stays close to home whenever you want to reconnect with family or explore the local arts, sports, and community events that define Norman. In this role, your day-to-day responsibilities center on patient safety, clinical precision, and team collaboration. You will ensure the sterile field remains intact, assist surgeons by anticipating instrumentation needs, and manage instrumentation and supply carts with accuracy and speed. You’ll support room setup and turnover, scrub and gown procedures as assigned, and participate in time‑critical workflows that demand calm, focused performance. Your contribution will extend to verifying patient information, observing for signs of malfunctions or contamination, and helping with imaging or specimen labeling as directed. The position offers clear pathways for professional growth within the Surgical Tech specialty, including expanded responsibilities, cross‑training with circulating techs, and exposure to a broad range of surgical procedures—from routine to complex. The package emphasizes competitive benefits, including a compelling signing bonus, housing assistance to ease relocation and commuting, and extension opportunities that let you lengthen or modify your placement based on performance and facility demand. You’ll receive comprehensive support from a dedicated travel team, available 24/7 to address scheduling changes, housing needs, or on‑the‑road concerns, ensuring you feel secure and empowered as you navigate assignments across multiple sites. The weekly pay ranges from $2,282 to $2,347, with guaranteed hours of 40 per week, providing financial stability and predictability as you plan your next steps in your professional journey. The role also allows you to deepen your clinical expertise, refine sterile technique in diverse OR environments, and build professional relationships that can translate into future leadership or specialty opportunities. Our company is rooted in empowering staff, cultivating an environment where your career development and well‑being are priorities.
