Where Every Incision Has a Story — Step Into a High-Impact Surgical Role on the California Coast
Some careers are defined by the tasks you perform. Others are defined by the lives you help protect. As a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST) in one of Southern California's most vibrant and growing healthcare communities, you'll be the steady, skilled presence in the OR that makes every procedure possible. Precision is your currency. Preparation is your art. And the team around you will be your foundation.
This isn't just another position on a job board — it's an invitation to join a surgical team that takes both excellence and culture seriously. Whether you've spent years perfecting your craft or you're stepping into a new chapter of your career, your instincts, technical knowledge, and ability to stay grounded under pressure are exactly what this team is looking for.
What You'll Be Doing Day to Day:
- Setting up and organizing the operating room prior to each surgical procedure
- Upholding sterile technique and enforcing strict infection prevention protocols throughout every case
- Passing instruments, sutures, and supplies to surgeons and assistants with speed and accuracy
- Managing all surgical equipment before, during, and at the close of each procedure
- Tracking supplies and ensuring the OR is fully stocked and procedure-ready
- Partnering closely with nurses, anesthesia providers, and surgical staff to deliver seamless, patient-centered care
- Performing precise surgical counts and maintaining thorough documentation
Education Requirements:
- Completion of an accredited Surgical Technology program
- High school diploma or GED equivalent required
Required Certifications:
- Active CST (Certified Surgical Technologist) credential
- BLS certification required (or ability to obtain within 90 days of hire)
Skills and Attributes That Set You Apart:
- Comprehensive knowledge of surgical instrumentation across a range of specialty areas
- Composure and clear communication in fast-paced, high-stakes surgical environments
- Sharp prioritization skills with the ability to anticipate the needs of the entire surgical team
- A meticulous, detail-oriented mindset with a commitment to sterility and cleanliness
- Demonstrated mastery of aseptic technique and sterile field management
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
- Flexible scheduling options across days, nights, and weekends
- Collaborate with a high-caliber, multi-specialty surgical team
- Clear pathways for continuing education, clinical ladder advancement, and professional development
- State-of-the-art surgical technology and a modern, well-resourced facility
- Leadership that actively champions your growth and recognizes your clinical contributions
Life and Work in Oxnard, California
Picture ending your shift, stepping outside, and breathing in cool Pacific air. That's the reality of life in Oxnard, California — a sun-drenched coastal city nestled between the Santa Monica Mountains and the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean. It's a place where the pace of life feels intentional, the scenery is nothing short of stunning, and the community is warm, diverse, and deeply rooted.
Oxnard is the kind of city that surprises people. It's one of the largest cities in Ventura County, yet it carries the soul of a small coastal town — with wide sandy beaches stretching for miles, fresh seafood straight off the docks at Channel Islands Harbor, and weekend farmers markets overflowing with strawberries grown just down the road. The strawberry fields here are legendary, and the annual California Strawberry Festival is a beloved community tradition that draws visitors from across the state.
When you're not scrubbed in, you might find yourself paddleboarding in the calm harbor waters, hiking trails with panoramic views of the Channel Islands, or exploring the colorful arts district that has quietly become one of Ventura County's most creative corners. With the city of Ventura just minutes away and Los Angeles within easy reach, the entertainment, dining, and cultural options are practically endless — but you may just find that Oxnard itself gives you everything you need.
California's climate here is about as close to perfect as it gets. Mild temperatures year-round, gentle ocean breezes, and golden light that makes even an ordinary Tuesday feel like something worth savoring. For healthcare professionals seeking both career momentum and quality of life, it's hard to beat.
A Surgical Team Built on Trust and Rhythm
Inside the OR, there's a language that only surgical teams understand — the unspoken choreography of anticipation, communication, and trust. You'll be joining a group of professionals who have mastered that language and are looking for a CST who speaks it fluently. From high-acuity emergent cases to elective outpatient procedures, every case is treated with the same level of focus and care.
Here, you are not just a support role. You are a cornerstone. Your counts, your sterile field, your instrument knowledge — they are the difference between a smooth surgery and a critical complication. That kind of responsibility is honored and acknowledged every single day.
Your Next Chapter Starts Here
If you're a CST who is ready to bring your expertise to a coastal California community that values precision, purpose, and people — this is your moment. We're looking for someone who takes pride in the work, thrives in a collaborative environment, and is ready to make a lasting impact both inside and outside the OR.
Apply now and take the next step toward a surgical career that challenges, rewards, and inspires you — right here on the California coast.
