Job Description

About Instrumentum

Instrumentum is a national sterile processing partner that helps hospitals and surgery centers run efficient, compliant, and safe instrument reprocessing operations. We ensure every instrument is surgery-ready to the highest standards, so our partners can focus on what matters most — delivering exceptional care.

Instrumentum is an equal opportunity employer. All employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.

Instrumentum is hiring a Facilities Technician for our Richmond, VA offsite reprocessing center. $24.00–$34.00 per hour, depending on experience.

Keep the building running so the instruments can keep moving.

Instrumentum is a national sterile processing partner — we help hospitals and surgery centers run efficient, compliant, and safe instrument reprocessing operations. The building you maintain is what makes that possible: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and the sterilization equipment itself all depend on the work this role does every day.

The job

Two full-time shifts available at this location — day shift and evening shift — supporting a facility that combines climate-controlled interior space with rooftop and mechanical-room work.

What you will do

• Execute scheduled preventive maintenance on HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and other facility infrastructure
• Perform routine inspections to catch wear, safety concerns, and equipment issues early
• Respond to maintenance work orders from sterile processing and other departments
• Handle basic repairs — filters, leaks, lighting, minor equipment malfunctions
• Monitor the building automation system and report anomalies
• Perform general upkeep: painting, minor carpentry, door and hardware repairs
• Document all maintenance activity and repairs in the work order system
• Step in occasionally as a Transportation Technician — transporting instrument trays and supplies between Instrumentum facilities

What you need

• 6 months to 1 year of experience in building maintenance, facilities operations, or a related trade (HVAC, electrical, plumbing, or general maintenance)
• Ability to use hand tools, power tools, and diagnostic equipment safely
• Willingness to participate in an after-hours on-call rotation for emergencies
• Ability to work varied schedules
• Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record

What we would like to see

• OSHA 10 certification
• CPR and First Aid certification
• Prior experience in a healthcare, laboratory, or commercial facility environment
• High school diploma or equivalent

Who does well here

People who'd rather fix the small problem before it's a work order than wait for it to become one. You're comfortable moving between a climate-controlled office and a rooftop unit in the same shift, and you document what you did instead of just doing it.

The physical side of the job

This is a production/clinical-adjacent environment — climate-controlled indoors and rooftop/uncontrolled spaces, with ladders and occasional confined spaces. We'd rather you know now than find out in week two.

• Standing and walking more than half your shift
• Frequent reaching, grasping, and hands-on tool work
• Lifting up to 50 lbs regularly; occasional lifting over 50 lbs
• Frequent exposure to biohazardous materials and strong chemical odors; regular PPE use
• Climbing, balancing, bending, and stooping as a routine part of the job
• Periods of driving a company vehicle when covering transportation duties
• Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position

Pay and benefits

• $24.00–$34.00 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance, effective the first of the month after your start date
• Company-paid life insurance, plus short-term and long-term disability
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
• 401(k) with company match — eligible from your first day
• Paid time off starting at 10 days, increasing with tenure, accruing from day one
• 9 paid holidays
• Employee Assistance Program
• Paid every two weeks

Schedule and location

Full-time, on-site. After-hours on-call rotation required. Occasional local travel between Instrumentum facilities when covering transportation-technician duties

3422 Atlanta Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85040

No travel beyond occasional local travel (<10%). No direct patient contact.
