Remote jobs

Sterile processing technician jobs at ambulatory surgery centers offer a distinct work environment compared to hospital-based roles, with annual salaries typically ranging from $38,000 to $54,000 and a strong concentration of day shift and Monday through Friday schedules that appeal to technicians seeking more predictable hours. ASCs operate lean, high-efficiency instrument workflows where each technician's output directly impacts surgical scheduling and patient throughput.

These roles are well suited for technicians who are comfortable working independently with limited departmental backup, and most surgery centers require active CRCST or CBSPD certification alongside at least one to two years of experience processing orthopedic, ophthalmologic, or general surgery instrument sets. Cross-training across multiple specialty trays is a common expectation, and technicians who can turn over complex sets quickly are highly valued in this setting.
