Job Description
Step into a pivotal role as a Surgical Tech in Dillon, Montana, where precision, teamwork, and patient-centered care drive every procedure. This travel assignment is crafted for skilled Surgical Techs who want to deepen their clinical expertise while embracing new experiences. Beginning 03/02/2026, you’ll support a busy surgical schedule in a community hospital setting, collaborating closely with surgeons, nurses, and anesthesia teams to safeguard sterile technique, maintain instrument integrity, and ensure patient safety throughout all phases of care. Your hands will be essential in preparing the sterile field, selecting and passing instruments, and assisting the surgeon with efficiency and calm under pressure. Each case offers a meaningful opportunity to refine your scrub and circulator skills, contribute to positive patient outcomes, and grow within the specialty you’re dedicated to. And as you advance, you’ll gain exposure to diverse surgical cases, from routine procedures to complex interventions, all while enjoying the rich outdoor and cultural backdrop that Montana offers. Montana’s vast skies and welcoming communities provide a setting where professional purpose and personal renewal can thrive side by side.
Montana’s beauty is a living backdrop to your professional journey. The state’s wide-open skies, rugged peaks, and winding rivers invite exploration after shifts, and Dillon sits at the heart of a landscape that’s as inspiring as it is restorative. In your downtime you can enjoy hiking in the surrounding public lands, fishing the Beaverhead River, or simply taking in panoramic views that stretch toward the Highland and Beaverhead ranges. The region blends small-town warmth with access to some of the state’s most iconic natural wonders, offering weekend adventures that recharge you for the next day in the OR. And for those who crave broader horizons, the assignment structure includes opportunities to work in various locations across the U.S., delivering exposure to different hospital cultures, OR teams, and patient populations—each experience designed to enrich your clinical toolkit and professional confidence.
Location benefits extend beyond the OR. Dillon provides a supportive, close-knit community with access to quality housing options, essential amenities, and a pace that respects work–life balance. You’ll benefit from a stable, predictable schedule that aligns with your guaranteed 34 hours per week, while earning competitive weekly compensation in the range of $1,234 to $1,291. The role also offers a clear pathway for professional growth within the surgical tech specialty, with opportunities to refine specialized techniques, participate in process improvements, and broaden your scope of practice as you gain experience. In addition to strong clinical exposure, you’ll have access to structured support that helps you succeed on assignment: onboarding that emphasizes safety and best practice, a travel-friendly benefits package, and direct lines to a dedicated support team available around the clock. The program also includes a sign-on bonus, housing assistance, and the potential for extension opportunities, so you can plan your next steps with confidence.
Role specifics and benefits are designed to maximize your impact and your peace of mind. Key responsibilities include scrubbing and circulating during surgical procedures, maintaining an immaculate sterile field, arranging and passing instruments and supplies, and assisting the surgical team with accurate counts and instrument turnover. You’ll help position and transport patients when needed, anticipate the surgeon’s needs, and communicate clearly with the team to prevent delays. The role emphasizes ongoing professional growth within the surgical tech specialty, opening doors to advanced techniques, cross-specialty exposure, and leadership experiences on future assignments. The compensation package is competitive and rounded out by a bonus, comprehensive housing support, and the chance to extend your assignment for continued continuity of care and practice refinement. In addition, you’ll receive extensive support from a 24/7 travel team that understands the pressures of working in unfamiliar ORs, helping you navigate schedules, hospital cultures, and on-site logistics with ease and confidence.
Our company values your contributions and is committed to empowering your career trajectory. We foster a supportive, inclusive environment where clinical excellence, continuous learning, and respectful collaboration are prioritized. You’ll have access to resources, mentorship, and clear pathways for advancement within the broader network of surgical services. The program is designed to recognize your expertise, reward your dedication, and provide the stability and encouragement necessary to pursue long-term goals in the surgical tech field. While you’re on assignment, you’ll benefit from ongoing career development conversations, peer learning opportunities, and a culture that celebrates initiative and patient-centered care. The team believes in recognizing your impact, offering you the tools and encouragement you need to grow into more advanced roles if you choose to pursue them.
