This opening is for a senior-level CVOR Surgical Technologist (Tech 3) at a 585-bed hospital in Kansas City, MO — a Level I Trauma Center with a Chest Pain Center, Primary Stroke Center, and Breast Care Center. The facility operates a full cardiovascular and hybrid/endovascular OR program and serves a broad adult and geriatric surgical population.
The role. As a Tier 3 CVOR Tech, you function as a senior expert and go-to resource for the OR team, taking primary responsibility for the most complex and high-acuity cardiovascular cases. In the first scrub role, you manage all instruments, supplies, and equipment throughout the procedure, maintaining the sterile field and anticipating surgeon needs at every step. In the second scrub role, you actively support the surgeon and surgical assistant through sponging, suctioning, suture cutting, retractor holding, and endoscopic camera manipulation. You are expected to lead independently across multiple specialty service lines — including robotic, vascular, and hybrid/endovascular procedures — and serve as a mentor to less experienced OR technologists on the team.
