Imagine a place where your skills in surgical care are not only valued but are a vital part of every life-changing moment. As a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) in the bustling healthcare hub of Buffalo, New York, you are at the forefront of surgical excellence — expertly navigating the intricacies of the operating room from initial preparation to final closure. Beyond the lights of the OR, you will find a community filled with passion, connection, and opportunities for growth.

This role is more than a mere job; it is a profound calling. Whether you are an experienced CST or at the start of your surgical career, your meticulous attention to detail, proactive attitude, and eagerness to make an impact will be recognized and cherished daily. And where better to cultivate your career than in Buffalo, a vibrant city synonymous with rich history, stunning architecture, and a revitalized waterfront?

Your Daily Responsibilities Will Include:

• Assisting in surgical procedures by preparing and organizing the operating room for safe and efficient surgeries
• Maintaining sterile fields and strictly adhering to necessary infection control protocols
• Providing instruments and supplies to surgeons and surgical assistants seamlessly during procedures
• Preparing and managing surgical equipment before, during, and after each operation
• Monitoring supplies and ensuring their preparedness for every surgical undertaking
• Collaborating with nurses, anesthesiologists, and surgical team members for outstanding patient care
• Maintaining accurate surgical counts and detailed documentation throughout the process

Education Requirements:

• Graduation from an accredited Surgical Technology program
• High school diploma or equivalent is required

Certifications Needed:

• Exceptional communication and teamwork abilities in fast-paced environments
• Skill in prioritizing tasks and responding swiftly to the surgical team's needs
• Strong organizational skills and a sharp eye for cleanliness and detail
• Proficiency in aseptic techniques and maintaining a sterile environment

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Flexible shifts — full-time options available days, nights, and weekends
• Join a high-performing surgical team working across a diverse range of procedures
• Opportunities for continuing education and career advancement on a clinical ladder
• Access to state-of-the-art surgical equipment and cutting-edge technology
• Supportive leadership that values and nurtures your expertise and input
