Hospital Sterilization Systems Installation Specialist

Shape Better Care, One Installation at a Time

Picture your morning: you load your company vehicle in Cincinnati and head to a major hospital project in Indianapolis. You meet the Installation Project Manager, confirm delivery timing, and walk the site with facilities to verify rough-in dimensions, utilities, and the path of travel through doorways and elevators. By mid-day, you’ve uncrated a sterilizer, assembled OR lights and booms, set and leveled the equipment, connected water, drains, steam, and power (120/208/240/480 VAC), and run functional tests. You wipe the equipment down, remove fingerprints, dispose of crates and packing, complete electronic documentation, and conduct a final walk-through to answer questions before you leave. That’s a typical day as a STERIS Installation Specialist supporting safe patient care.
