Travel Surgical Tech Job

Embark on a transformative journey as a Travel Surgical Tech based in Georgia’s vibrant hub of Atlanta, with a start date of January 12, 2026. This opportunity places you at the heart of cutting-edge operating rooms, where precision, teamwork, and compassion converge to improve patient outcomes every day. As you bring your sterile technique, instrument knowledge, and calm focus to the table, you’ll empower surgical teams to deliver exceptional care. And when you’re ready for a change of scenery, you’ll have the chance to rotate through multiple facilities across the country, expanding your expertise while enjoying the adventure of travel. Beyond the OR, take time to soak in Georgia’s beauty—from the dynamic cultural fabric of Atlanta to the quiet charm of historic towns, lush mountains, and coastal escapes. The state’s rich history, warm hospitality, and diverse landscapes provide a backdrop that makes every assignment more than a job—it’s a meaningful experience.

Location benefits are a cornerstone of this opportunity. Working in Atlanta means access to some of the nation’s premier medical centers, renowned for complex procedures, multidisciplinary collaboration, and ongoing training. You’ll be part of teams that push the boundaries of perioperative care, with opportunities to observe a wide range of surgical specialties, including orthopedics, general surgery, vascular procedures, and robotics. If you crave variety, the program offers assignments in other regions, allowing you to rotate through facilities that emphasize different building techniques, patient populations, and procedural volumes. The exposure you gain elevates your clinical confidence and broadens your professional network, while the city itself offers a thriving arts scene, superb dining, and a sport-loving community that keeps energy high after shifts. And for nature lovers, Georgia’s scenic trails, mountain getaways, and nearby coastal escapes provide easy weekend retreats to reenergize between contracts.

Role specifics and benefits form the core of this position. As a Surgical Tech, you’ll prepare the sterile field, arrange and pass instruments, maintain precise counts, and support the surgical team throughout procedures. Your vigilance helps protect patient safety, minimize infection risks, and contribute to smooth, efficient transitions between cases. You’ll have the chance to expand your expertise with advanced techniques, assist in specialty surgeries, and engage in ongoing skill development that translates directly to career advancement. Compensation is competitive, with a weekly pay range of $1,372 to $1,488, and a guaranteed 40 hours per week. Assignments are designed in weeks, with opportunities to extend based on performance and facility needs. A sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and extension options underscore our commitment to supporting your stability and growth. You’ll also benefit from comprehensive 24/7 support while traveling with the company, including travel concierge services, credentialing assistance, onboarding support, and ongoing clinical resources to ensure you feel confident wherever you work. The combination of robust clinical exposure, generous benefits, and a supportive framework is tailored to nurture your professional journey from day one.

Company values emphasize empowerment, advancement, and a supportive culture. We’re dedicated to helping you achieve career milestones, whether that means refining perioperative skills, taking on leadership opportunities, or pursuing specialty certifications. Our teams are built on collaboration, transparency, and respect, with leaders who champion your voice and prioritize your well-being. You’ll find a work environment that values initiative, recognizes expertise, and provides clear pathways for progression as you demonstrate excellence in the OR.
