Sterile Field Ready, Career-Defining Opportunity — Step Into a High-Impact Surgical Tech Role in the Twin Cities
Few professions demand the kind of quiet mastery that surgical technology requires. You read the room before the surgeon asks. You anticipate the next instrument before the hand extends. You are the steady pulse beneath the intensity of every procedure — and in Minneapolis, Minnesota, that level of excellence is not just welcomed, it is expected and deeply appreciated.
This is your chance to bring your surgical expertise to one of the most respected and rapidly evolving healthcare ecosystems in the Midwest. As a Certified Surgical Technologist (CST), you will be embedded in a surgical environment that prizes precision, collaboration, and continuous growth. Whether you have years of OR experience under your belt or you are eager to build on a strong clinical foundation, this role is designed for someone who shows up with focus, purpose, and a genuine passion for patient care.

- Upholding sterile field integrity and enforcing rigorous infection prevention standards
- Passing instruments, supplies, and equipment to surgeons and assistants with precision and speed
- Managing surgical equipment and materials before, throughout, and following each case
- Tracking supply levels and ensuring no procedure is delayed due to inadequate preparation
- Partnering with nursing staff, anesthesiologists, and the broader OR team for coordinated, seamless care delivery
- Executing accurate surgical counts and maintaining thorough documentation throughout each case
Education Requirements:
- Graduation from an accredited Surgical Technology program
- High school diploma or GED equivalent required
Required Certifications:
- Active CST (Certified Surgical Technologist) credential through NBSTSA or equivalent
- Current BLS certification, or the ability to obtain within 90 days of hire
Skills and Qualities We Are Looking For:
- Broad familiarity with surgical instrumentation across multiple specialty service lines
- Composure and clear communication in high-stakes, fast-paced surgical settings
- The ability to shift priorities fluidly and respond in real time to surgical team needs
- Meticulous organizational skills with an unwavering eye for detail and cleanliness
- Deep proficiency in aseptic technique and sterile field management
What Makes This Opportunity Worth Your Attention:
- Shift flexibility across days, evenings, nights, and weekends to fit your lifestyle
- Exposure to a rich and varied surgical case mix across numerous specialties
- Clear pathways for continued education, certifications, and clinical ladder progression
- State-of-the-art surgical suites equipped with the latest technology and instrumentation

What Life Looks Like as a Surgical Tech in Minneapolis
Minneapolis is a city that earns its reputation quietly and then surprises you completely. It is a place where world-class medicine and an unshakable community spirit coexist in a way that is genuinely rare. The Twin Cities metro is home to some of the nation's most celebrated health systems, drawing talent from across the country and giving that talent room to thrive and lead.
Beyond the hospital walls, Minneapolis rewards the curious and the active in equal measure. In the warmer months, the Chain of Lakes comes alive — locals paddle, cycle, and run along more than 200 miles of connected trails that weave through vibrant neighborhoods and quiet green spaces alike. Come winter, the city does not retreat. It leans in. Think ice skating on frozen lakes, cozy neighborhood coffee shops packed with warmth and conversation, and a culinary scene that refuses to hibernate.
The food culture here is something to talk about — James Beard-recognized chefs, an ever-evolving lineup of farm-to-table restaurants, and a diversity of international cuisines that reflect the city's richly layered communities. Add to that a thriving arts district, beloved live music venues, and a professional sports culture that runs deep, and you have a city that genuinely feels like home from the first weekend you explore it.
Minneapolis also consistently ranks among the most livable cities in the United States — with strong public infrastructure, excellent schools, and a cost of living that still offers breathing room compared to coastal metros. For healthcare professionals, the combination of career momentum and quality of life here is hard to beat.
A Team Built on Trust and Timing
Inside the OR, everything comes down to rhythm. The best surgical teams move like a single, coordinated unit — reading each other without words, catching each other's blind spots, and keeping their collective focus locked on the patient. That is the kind of team you are stepping into.
Here, your contributions are not taken for granted. Your consistency, your preparation, your ability to stay sharp under pressure — these are recognized as mission-critical. You are not a supporting player. You are a cornerstone of outcomes that matter profoundly to patients and families.
This Is Your Moment
If you are looking for a role where your technical excellence is respected, your schedule works for your life, and your presence in the OR makes a measurable difference — Minneapolis is calling.
Apply now and bring the skill, dedication, and focus you have built in the OR to a surgical team — and a city — that is ready to grow alongside you.
