Travel Surgical Tech Job

Step into a dynamic, travel-focused Surgical Tech role in Georgia’s Lawrenceville, starting December 22, 2025. In this opportunity you’ll stand at the forefront of patient care, partnering with surgeons and the entire operating room team to maintain precision, safety, and efficiency from scrub to turnover. You’ll manage instruments, pass critical tools, anticipate needs, maintain sterile fields, and support flawless case flow across a range of surgical specialties. Each assignment is a chance to sharpen your technique, broaden your clinical perspective, and contribute to life-changing outcomes for patients and families. Beyond the OR, Georgia’s diverse experiences await—historic streets, modern culture, and natural beauty—from Savannah’s shaded oaks and moss-draped yards to the tranquil Blue Ridge foothills and Lake Lanier’s sparkling waters.

Location Benefits:
Lawrenceville sits in Gwinnett County just outside Atlanta, offering a welcoming community with easy access to big-city amenities, parks, arts, dining, and outdoor adventures. As a travel Surgical Tech, you’ll also have the opportunity to work across multiple U.S. facilities, gaining exposure to different surgical teams, patient populations, and case mixes. This exposure not only reinforces clinical proficiency but also builds adaptability, communication, and professional presence—qualities that accelerate growth and leadership potential. You’ll experience rich regional culture, thriving sports and entertainment options, and weekend getaways to Georgia’s diverse landscapes, all while enjoying the security of a structured travel program and guaranteed hours.

Role Specifics and Benefits:
- Core responsibilities and growth: As a surgical technologist on assignment, you’ll prepare sterile fields, set up equipment and trays, assist during operative procedures by passing instruments and supplies, maintain instrument counts, help position and drape patients, and support the surgeon and circulating staff to optimize efficiency and safety. You’ll collaborate with perioperative teams to anticipate needs, reduce procedure times, and uphold hospital standards. This role offers ongoing opportunities to cross-train in multiple specialties, expand your repertoire of instruments and devices, and progress toward potential lead or mentor roles on future assignments.
- Competitive compensation and incentives: Expect a competitive pay package with weekly wages ranging from $1,266 to $1,281, reflecting your expertise and the demand for skilled Surgical Techs in travel roles. The program includes a sign-on or completion-oriented bonus, plus housing assistance to simplify relocation logistics and reduce living expenses while on assignment. There are extension opportunities to continue placements with the same high-standard teams, providing continuity and the chance to deepen relationships with mentors and colleagues.
- Comprehensive support: Travel assignments come with 24/7 support from a dedicated team, ensuring you’re never navigating a new facility or city alone. From onboarding to housing, transport coordination, and routine check-ins, you’ll have reliable resources to smooth transitions, resolve issues quickly, and help you stay focused on delivering exceptional patient care.
- Schedule and guarantees: You’ll be scheduled for a guaranteed 32 hours per week, with the potential for additional hours based on facility needs and policy. The structured framework reduces uncertainty, allowing you to plan personal time, study, and professional development while maximizing earnings during your assignment periods.

Company Values:
Our organization is devoted to empowering Surgical Techs to advance their careers within a supportive, collaborative environment. We celebrate expertise, encourage continuous learning, and provide the tools and encouragement you need to reach your professional goals. Whether you’re refining sterile technique, expanding into leadership, or mentoring new team members, you’ll find a culture that recognizes your contributions, respects your work-life balance, and invests in your growth through ongoing training and clear pathways for advancement.
