Transportation Technician

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 keeps hospitals and surgery centers in the Richmond area running by reprocessing surgical instruments off-site and returning them sterile, complete, and on time. You're the link in that chain nothing else can replace — the person who physically gets instruments where they need to be, on schedule, every day.

We invest in the people who make that happen. Delivery Drivers get structured training from day one, support for strengthening job-relevant certifications, and the chance to raise your hand for more responsibility as the Richmond team grows.

This is a full-time, non-exempt route position based out of our Richmond facility. It's 100% local driving — you start and end every shift at the same facility, with no overnight travel.

•     Follow GPS routing to keep every stop on schedule

•     Load and unload instruments carefully so nothing is damaged in transit

The strongest Delivery Drivers here treat every stop like it matters, because a missed pickup can mean a delayed surgery somewhere down the line. You're comfortable driving the same roads every day, handling the same documentation at every stop, and doing it carefully even on stop forty. You don't need someone checking your work to do it right.

This is a driving-and-loading role with regular physical handling. We'd rather you know now than find out in week two.
