Ambulatory Surgery Center Sterile Processing Jobs

Sterile processing technicians working in ambulatory surgery centers earn between $22 and $36 per hour depending on experience, certification, and state, with many ASCs offering shift differentials for early morning start times that can add $2 to $4 per hour to base pay. ASC roles are among the most sought-after positions in sterile processing because of their predictable schedules, lower patient acuity environment, and absence of overnight shifts. These positions are best suited for technicians with at least one year of hands-on decontamination and sterilization experience, and most ASCs require or strongly prefer IAHCSMM CRCST certification at time of hire or within 90 days. Orthopedic, ophthalmology, and GI-focused surgery centers tend to move instruments at high volume, rewarding technicians who can maintain throughput under time pressure.
