About the Role

As a STERIS Repair Technician, you will perform stainless surgical instrument inspection, repair, and refurbishment in a field-based setting.

This role requires daily travel by driving a company vehicle. If offered this position, STERIS will run a 7-year driving record check as part of the onboarding process.
