Sterile Processing Production Coordinator
Instrumentum, LLC, Long Beach, CA, United States
WHAT WE DO
Instrumentum is an innovative provider of off‑site surgical instrument sterilization, transportation, storage, and loaner tray logistics, serving health systems and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). With the recent acquisitions of early market movers in this space, we are growing a national footprint with a mission to disrupt a traditionally fragmented and under digitized sterile processing industry. We are scaling rapidly to address the rising demand for elective surgeries and streamlined sterile processing services.
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?
Sterilization Processing Departments (SPDs) are one of the most important and yet most overlooked areas of a hospital or surgery center. This is a critical and growing problem as staffing shortages, poorly maintained facilities, and failure to adhere to the standards required to ensure patient and staff safety are increasing costs and potentially putting lives at risk. Even though sterilization is central to providing surgeries, it is often an afterthought for most facilities. The people who work in the SPD know it, and the deteriorating morale of the SPD workforce is adding to the decrease in sterilization competency.
Sterilization is ALL we do. Our people are the core of our company, and we treat them accordingly – like the rockstars they are. We’ve invested heavily in our facilities, equipment, and processes, and we do it right. Every time. We hire the best, and we don’t have to look far. The best SPD technicians and coordinators love what they do, and they want to work in a place where they are valued. That place is Instrumentum.
WHAT WE NEED
We’re looking for a Sterile Processing Production Coordinator who will thrive in a fast‑paced, detail‑driven environment where accuracy and communication go hand‑in‑hand. This is a highly visible role at the center of sterile processing operations – bridging production flow, vendor communication, and tray accuracy.
You’ll succeed in this role if you bring deep expertise in loaner and consignment tray management, a strong sense of organization, and the confidence to collaborate with vendors, technicians, and leadership alike. You’re proactive, detail‑oriented, and driven by the satisfaction of keeping every tray, every cycle, and every process running flawlessly.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Loaner & Consignment Tray Coordination
Serve as the point person for managing all incoming and outgoing loaner and consignment trays.
Verify accuracy, completeness, and integrity of tray contents before and after sterilization.
Coordinate directly with vendors, clinical partners, and internal SPD teams to ensure all instruments arrive on time, processed correctly, and ready for use.
Track and document tray movement through the full sterilization and return cycle.
Production & Workflow Oversight
Oversee daily production flow in coordination with SPD leadership, ensuring workloads are prioritized and balanced for maximum efficiency.
Identify potential delays, discrepancies, or bottlenecks and take proactive steps to resolve them.
