Job Description

Sterile Processing Department (SPD) Technician

Are you a detail-loving, behind-the-scenes hero who takes pride in keeping surgical teams running like clockwork? Do you know your way around shiny surgical tools and high-powered sterilizers? Then we want YOU on our team!

What You’ll Be Doing:

• You’re the go-to expert for cleaning, decontaminating, and sterilizing surgical instruments—aka, the MVP of clean!
• Prep and pack surgical case carts like a pro—if it’s needed in the OR, you’ve got it ready.
• Roll up those sleeves! You’ll handle the heavy lifting: receiving, storing, and distributing supplies and equipment.
• Keep things organized and on track with data entry and inventory control.
• Be a team player who can jump into any area of SPD and make things happen.

What You Bring to the Table:

• High school diploma or GED.
• You’ve checked one of these boxes:
• Central Service or Instrument Tech certification/program
• Surgical Tech program graduate
• OR you’ve got 5+ years of hands-on instrument tech experience in the Operating Room
• (Bonus if you're already rocking this at TMC—we love promoting from within!)
• You speak sterilizer fluently: you know the equipment and the process inside-out.
• You’re comfortable with computers and can input data without missing a beat.
• Able to lift up to 50 lbs. solo (you've got the strength and the skills).
• Friendly, helpful, and great with people—because good vibes matter!

Extra Awesome (Preferred):

• 1 year of SPD experience? Gold star!

Why You’ll Love It Here:

You’ll be part of a hardworking, high-impact team that keeps the surgical wheels turning. No two days are the same, and your work directly helps save lives. Plus, we value our people—you’ll grow your skills, work with great teammates, and get the recognition you deserve.
