This is your chance to apply precision, focus, and teamwork in a field that directly protects patients, supports clinicians, and upholds the highest standards of infection prevention. You’ll master the art and science of instrument reprocessing—from decontamination and inspection to sterilization, packaging, and distribution—ensuring OR readiness with every shift. Your work will reduce infection risk, optimize workflow, and elevate the quality of care across the facility. Massachusetts offers a rich tapestry of urban vitality and rural charm, with a history steeped in innovation and community spirit.

The role is designed to be a solid foundation for skill refinement in sterile processing, with the potential to broaden your expertise through cross-training, mentorship, and exposure to cutting-edge sterilization technologies.

In this role, you’ll own the core responsibilities that keep surgical suites safe and efficient. Your day-to-day duties include cleaning, decontaminating, and inspecting instruments; assembling sets according to precise specifications; validating sterilization cycles on autoclaves and other modalities; maintaining traceable records for instrument tracking and quality assurance; managing supply levels, rotating stock, and communicating needs to perioperative teams and materials management. You’ll ensure compliance with regulatory standards such as AAMI guidelines and Joint Commission expectations, participate in competency assessments, and contribute to process improvements that shorten turnaround times without compromising safety. The position presents strong opportunities for professional growth within the sterile processing specialty, including progression to senior tech roles, team lead responsibilities, or supervisory tracks as you demonstrate reliability, accuracy, and leadership.
