Surgical Technologist - Certified

MLee Medical Employment

Surgical Technologist - Sumter, South Carolina

Where surgical excellence meets Southern hospitality


At 1901 W Evans Street in the heart of Sumter, South Carolina , just steps from the hum of McLeod Regional Medical Center , there's a surgical team that thrives on trust, precision, and patient-centered care. They're looking for a detail-oriented, focused, and compassionate Surgical Technologist to join their OR family.

Here, the day begins not with chaos, but with quiet purpose. You arrive early, check the board, and begin preparing the operating room -carefully laying out instruments, organizing sterile fields, and ensuring the right equipment is in place. Your attention to detail sets the tone for everything that follows.

Once surgery begins, you shift into high gear- assisting the surgeon by passing instruments with efficiency, holding retractors, and responding in sync with the team. You're the calm in the room, a steady presence who knows what's needed before it's asked for. You help keep the patient safe, the team supported, and the procedure on track.

Between cases, you help clean, restock, and sterilize , always ensuring the next surgery starts with the same high standard of care. Infection control, patient dignity, and surgical excellence are more than policies-they're part of who you are.

And when you step outside at the end of the day, you're not just leaving work-you're stepping into a community that feels like home . Sumter offers the perfect blend of small-town warmth and city convenience. Enjoy charming downtown shops, riverside walks, and local cafés, or take a weekend drive to the coast- Myrtle Beach is just over an hour away .

What You'll Bring:
  • Graduate of an accredited Surgical Technology program
  • Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) preferred (or eligibility to obtain)
  • Current BLS (Basic Life Support) certification required
  • Prior OR experience is a plus , but new grads are welcome and supported
What You'll Do:
  • Prepare and maintain a sterile surgical environment
  • Assist surgeons and nurses during procedures
  • Monitor and handle surgical instruments and equipment
  • Adhere to strict infection control protocols
  • Ensure proper documentation and OR turnover between cases
What We Offer:
  • A full benefits package including medical, dental, and vision
  • Generous PTO and flexible scheduling to support work-life balance
  • Opportunities for continued learning, certification support , and career growth
  • A close-knit, collaborative surgical team that values each member's role
  • A location that offers affordable living, great schools, and Southern charm

If you're ready to grow your surgical career in a respected medical environment-where your work is valued, your teammates have your back, and your community feels like home-we'd love to meet you.
