Job Description
Embark on a pivotal journey as a Travel OR Tech in Washington, Everett, where every instrument handed, every sterile field maintained, and every organized exchange of care helps patients move from uncertainty to recovery. This role puts you at the heart of the operating room, empowering you to support surgeons, nurses, and anesthesia teams with precision, calm, and confidence. You’ll advance your expertise in sterile technique, instrument handling, counts, turnover, and room readiness across diverse surgical cases, expanding your skill set while making a measurable difference in patient outcomes. The path you choose here opens doors to assignments across Washington and across the country, so you can build a broad, robust portfolio of experience while continuing to grow as a trusted OR professional. In Everett, you’ll enjoy the charm of a vibrant Pacific Northwest city—a place where coastal access meets community warmth, birthplace of rich museums, modern dining, and easy access to mountains, parks, and waterways that invite weekend exploration after meaningful days in the OR.
Everett combines accessibility and professional opportunity in one appealing package. Working in this region gives you proximity to leading trauma centers, academic facilities, and community hospitals that rely on skilled OR techs to maintain safety and efficiency.

This breadth of experience not only heightens your clinical acumen but also strengthens your resume for future leadership roles. In addition to professional variety, the locale offers an appealing mix of outdoor recreation, restaurants, and cultural events, plus a supportive healthcare community that respects the critical role you perform in every surgical team.
