OR Tech Jobs in Tennessee: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a or tech in Tennessee?
Tennessee does not require a state-issued license for or techs, but most hospitals require national certification through the National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting, earned by passing the CST exam after completing an accredited surgical technology program. Programs are offered at institutions such as Nashville State Community College and Roane State Community College. Employers across the state treat CST certification as the practical hiring standard even where it is not legally mandated.
Which companies hire or techs in Tennessee?
Companies currently hiring or techs in Tennessee include Williamson Health, Arconic, and Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Tennessee's large integrated health systems and specialty surgical centers account for the majority of open positions across the state.
Which Tennessee cities have the most or tech jobs?
Memphis, Franklin, and Alcoa have the most or tech openings in Tennessee. Nashville leads because of the concentration of HCA Healthcare's corporate and clinical footprint along with Vanderbilt's academic medical center, while Memphis draws volume from Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare and Regional One Health, and Knoxville benefits from the University of Tennessee Medical Center anchoring surgical hiring in East Tennessee.
Are there remote or tech jobs in Tennessee?
Yes, but they're rare. OR tech work is inherently hands-on and performed inside operating rooms, so the vast majority of roles require full on-site presence. About 0% of or tech openings tied to Tennessee are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, and those positions typically involve surgical scheduling coordination, instrument inventory management, or sterile processing oversight rather than direct scrub duties.
How can I get hired as a or tech in Tennessee with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is completing a CAAHEP-accredited surgical technology program at a Tennessee community college, then applying directly to new-grad or tech positions at large health systems. HCA Healthcare and Vanderbilt University Medical Center run structured new-graduate orientation tracks that give candidates hands-on mentorship before independent assignment. Candidates who hold a current CST credential or who have worked as a sterile processing technician or surgical aide have a measurable advantage when competing for these entry-level openings.
