  • Sterile Field Maintenance: Maintain constant vigilance of the sterile field, immediately identifying and correcting any breaks in aseptic technique to minimize the risk of surgical site infections.
  • Specimen & Count Management: Accurately perform surgical counts of instruments, sponges, and sharps with the circulating nurse before, during, and after procedures. Safely handle, identify, and preserve specimens for laboratory analysis.
  • Post-Operative Breakdown: Assist in room turnover by safely cleaning and preparing used instruments for transport to Central Sterile Processing. Safely dispose of sharps and hazardous waste in accordance with facility and regulatory safety standards.
  • Team Collaboration: Maintain a calm, professional, and collaborative presence in high-pressure situations, communicating effectively with all members of the multidisciplinary surgical team.

  • Certifications & Licensure:
  • Active Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) credential issued by the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting (NBSTSA).
  • Current Basic Life Support (BLS) / CPR certification.
  • Must comply with any state-specific registration or licensing requirements for Surgical Technologists in New Mexico.
  • Experience:
  • Minimum of one (1) year of dedicated clinical experience as a CST in an acute care hospital or outpatient surgical center preferred.
  • Proficiency in multiple surgical specialties (e.g., Orthopedics, General, OB/GYN, Neuro) is highly desirable.
  • Skills & Abilities: Deep knowledge of surgical instrumentation, surgical procedures, and human anatomy. Exceptional manual dexterity, attention to detail, and physical stamina required to stand for extended periods.

Benefits & Position Offerings

  • Competitive hourly compensation based on clinical experience.
  • Comprehensive healthcare benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision).
  • 401(k) with company match.
  • Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) and paid holidays.
  • Opportunities for professional development and continuing education support.
