Validation Specialist

Want a role that's different every week, takes you around Australia and allows you to work independently while making a genuine difference to patient safety?

Sterilizer Validation Australia (SVA) is Australia's leading independent provider of validation services to hospitals and healthcare facilities. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a Validation Specialist to join our Technical Services team.

If you enjoy variety and dislike being stuck behind a desk every day, this role offers the opportunity to work in hospitals and health facilities across the country. One week you may be working in a major metropolitan hospital, the next in a regional facility somewhere ‘out there’.

Travel is a regular part of the role, typically involving short trips of up to four consecutive nights at a time. In recognition of the travel involved, SVA provides generous travel allowances and additional RDO benefits.

Every test you perform contributes to safer patient care. The work you undertake helps ensure that surgical instruments and medical devices used throughout Australia's healthcare system are cleaned, disinfected and sterilized appropriately.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys taking responsibility for their work while being part of a collaborative and supportive team. Our Validation Specialists work independently on-site but remain closely connected to experienced supervisors and colleagues who provide ongoing mentoring, technical guidance and support. Through ongoing development and coaching, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence required to consistently deliver high-quality outcomes for clients across Australia.

As a Validation Specialist you will be responsible for carrying out critical annual tests on equipment used for the decontamination and sterilization of medical devices.  This includes:

• Steam Sterilizers
• Washer Disinfectors
• Endoscope Reprocessors
• Low Temperature Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilizers

Though not critical, previous experience in other similar roles would be highly regarded:

• Technical roles – maintenance or installation of medical equipment
• Electrical, electronics or other trade
• Medical devices, CSSD or Endoscopy environments

Key personal attributes:

• Professional presentation and demeanour.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Attention to detail.
• Desire to contribute to positive patient outcomes.
• Strong commitment to contribute to team culture and success.

If you're looking for a career that combines travel, technical problem-solving, professional growth and meaningful work, we'd love to hear from you. Join a team of passionate specialists who are helping healthcare facilities across Australia deliver safe and reliable outcomes every day.
