MLee Healthcare Staffing and Recruiting, Inc

Certified Surgical Technologist / Surgical Tech – CST / ST

Precision in the OR, Purpose in Every Procedure — Become Part of an Esteemed Surgical Team in Vibrant San Jose

Imagine being at the heart of a bustling medical community where precision and passion intertwine. As a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) in one of California's most innovative healthcare hubs, your contributions will be vital at every stage of the surgical journey — from meticulous pre-operative preparations to the crisp moments of post-operative care. More than a work environment, you'll discover a nurturing community filled with creativity, advancement, and endless opportunities.

This role transcends a standard job; it embodies a true vocation. Whether you possess extensive experience as a CST or are just embarking on your surgical career, your meticulous nature, proactive mindset, and commitment to making a significant impact will be celebrated daily. And what better destination for professional advancement than San Jose — a city that fuses cutting-edge healthcare with a lifestyle that inspires and invigorates?

Your varied responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing and organizing the operating room to assist in surgical procedures
  • Upholding sterile fields and following stringent infection control protocols
  • Providing instruments and supplies to surgeons and surgical assistants
  • Managing surgical equipment before, during, and after operations
  • Monitoring and ensuring a readiness of supplies for each procedure
  • Collaborating closely with nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgical staff for seamless patient care
  • Maintaining precise surgical counts and documentation for safety

Education qualifications:

  • Completion of a recognized Surgical Technology program
  • High school diploma or equivalent necessary

Required certifications:

  • Current CST (Certified Surgical Technologist) credential essential
  • BLS certification (or ability to obtain within 90 days of hire)

Key skills and attributes:

  • In-depth knowledge of surgical instrumentation and diverse procedures
  • Exceptional communication skills and team cooperation, especially in fast-paced environments
  • Ability to swiftly prioritize and respond to the dynamic needs of the surgical team
  • Strong organizational skills, focusing heavily on cleanliness and attention to detail
  • Proficiency in aseptic techniques and rigorous sterile field maintenance

What makes this position unique:

  • Flexible scheduling options — available shifts for days, nights, and weekends
  • Opportunity to collaborate with an accomplished surgical team across various procedures
  • Ongoing education, training, and chances for clinical ladder advancement
  • Access to leading-edge surgical technology and equipment
  • Supportive leadership that recognizes and values your contributions
  • The Experience of Being a Surgical Tech in San Jose

    Being a Surgical Technologist in this vibrant city means being part of a mission greater than yourself. Each day, you are integral to moments that change lives — whether it's a straightforward gallbladder removal or a sophisticated orthopedic surgery. When your scrubs are put away at the end of your shift, you are embraced by one of the most exciting areas of the West Coast.

    San Jose is a confluence of innovation and tradition. Residents lead a lifestyle that marries the great outdoors with a thirst for knowledge — characterized by scenic trails perfect for hiking and biking, year-round festivals that celebrate culture, and food experiences that highlight the richness of the region's culinary diversity.

    From indulging in mouthwatering tacos from a local eatery to enjoying the live performances that light up the California nights, every experience here nourishes the soul. With an ever-growing job market, no state income tax, and a flourishing tech scene, your career progression is as promising as your personal life.

    A Supportive Team Environment

    In the world of surgery, timing is everything. But equally crucial is trust. When you join this cohesive team, you will operate in perfect synergy — anticipating one another's needs, safeguarding patient safety, and relishing every victory, whether monumental or minute. Whether managing a high-stakes trauma case or delivering exemplary care during a routine outpatient procedure, you will never face these challenges alone.

    This position goes beyond task execution. It is about recognizing your essential role as a key contributor — where your precision, reliability, and compassionate care yield outstanding patient outcomes.

    Ready to Enhance Your Influence?

    If you aim for a place where your skills are cherished, your working hours are adaptable, and your efforts make a significant impact, we encourage you to reach out.

    Apply today and become a part of a team — and a community — that values every detail you bring to strengthen our mission.
