Job description
If you're looking for a role where you can make a real impact in healthcare, this is it.
At Stryker, we hire for talent, not just experience. Our top performers come from all walks of life—professional sports, personal training, military, hospitality, and retail. Whether you're a biomedical or health graduate aiming to break into the medical device industry or transitioning from another field, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
As an Associate Kit Assembler, you’ll play a critical role in making sure surgeons have the right tools for life-changing procedures. Each kit includes implants, instruments, and equipment—all meticulously prepared by our dedicated team.
What You’ll Do
You’ll be trusted to manage the flow of critical surgical equipment across Australia and New Zealand—ensuring hospitals have exactly what they need, when they need it.
- Own the end-to-end movement of surgical kits and medical devices — from dispatch through to return and reprocessing
- Prepare and send kits with high levels of accuracy, knowing even small errors can impact patient procedures
- Coordinate inbound and outbound devices, including consignment stock, across multiple hospitals and stakeholders
- Track, update, and maintain real-time visibility of all assets in the system
- Perform thorough quality checks on returned kits to ensure they meet strict safety and compliance standards
- Partner with internal teams and hospital stakeholders to align on urgent surgical requirements and delivery timelines
- Solve problems on the fly — prioritising, adjusting, and responding to last-minute changes in surgical demand

You always act with integrity — you do the right thing, even when no one’s watching
You’re genuinely passionate about making a difference in healthcare
You have full Australian working rights, a valid driver’s license, and access to your own vehicle
You’re available to work a rotating roster between 7am–7pm, including on-call and occasional evening shifts
