An endoscopy technician supports gastrointestinal procedures and reprocesses flexible endoscopes to infection control standards. The reprocessing side is the safety-critical core of the role, which is exactly what most published templates underplay. For an independent ambulatory surgery center or GI practice, hiring one well starts with a job description that names the setting and gets the reprocessing and compliance right.
These six templates cover the role across settings: ASC or GI center, hospital unit, certified technician, reprocessing-focused, entry-level trainee, and PRN coverage. Each is ready to use, with the endoscope reprocessing, OSHA, and certification requirements the generic templates leave out. For the fundamentals behind any posting, the guide to writing a job description is a useful companion.
TL;DR
An endoscopy technician assists with GI procedures and reprocesses flexible endoscopes, the safety-critical core of the role. It is hourly and non-exempt, covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens standard, with reprocessing guided by ANSI/AAMI ST91. Most centers require BLS and value a reprocessing or SGNA credential. The closest federal wage proxy reports a $62,830 median; actual pay runs lower. Download six templates as DOCX, by setting.
What an Endoscopy Technician Does
An endoscopy technician supports GI procedures and reprocesses the flexible endoscopes used in them. The procedure side means setting up rooms, assisting the physician and nurse, handling specimens, and supporting patients. The reprocessing side, cleaning and high-level disinfecting scopes between patients, is the safety-critical heart of the job, because endoscopes are complex reusable instruments that are difficult to clean.
There is no separate federal occupation for the role; O*NET lists Endoscopy Technicians (31-9099.02) and groups the related titles of endoscopy tech, GI technician, and endoscopy assistant together. For wages, the closest proxy is surgical technologists. The role is concentrated in hospital GI units and, very commonly, in independent ambulatory surgery centers, which is why the templates here default to the outpatient setting.
Endoscopy Technician Duties and Responsibilities
Endoscopy technician duties cluster into four areas: procedure support, scope reprocessing, specimens and supplies, and infection control. A strong job description picks the specific responsibilities from each area that match your setting, with reprocessing front and center rather than buried.
Procedure support
Set up and turn over procedure rooms
Assist the physician and nurse during endoscopy
Support patient positioning and comfort
Scope reprocessing
Preclean, leak test, and manually clean scopes
High-level disinfect, dry, and store endoscopes
Inspect scopes and document each step
Specimens and supplies
Handle, label, and transport specimens
Stock supplies and maintain equipment
Manage disinfectant test strips and monitoring
Infection control
Follow bloodborne pathogen precautions
Wear required PPE at all times
Maintain reprocessing and scope-tracking records
The balance shifts by role: a reprocessing-focused technician weights heavily toward scope handling and documentation, while a procedure-focused tech weights toward room setup and assisting. For a structured way to scope the role, the guide to defining job responsibilities walks through the process.

Reprocessing, OSHA, and FLSA
This is the part the generic templates skip, and it is the part that matters most for an endoscopy hire: the reprocessing standards that define the role, the OSHA and FDA layers on top, the certifications, and the straightforward hourly classification. Get these right and your posting attracts qualified candidates and protects your patients and center.
Reprocessing is the safety-critical heart of the role
The single most important thing to understand before hiring an endoscopy technician is that flexible endoscope reprocessing, not just procedure assisting, is the core of the job and the highest-risk part. Endoscopes are complex, reusable instruments with narrow channels that are difficult to clean, and improper reprocessing has transmitted infections between patients. The widely referenced consensus standard is ANSI/AAMI ST91, which covers flexible and semi-rigid endoscope processing in health care facilities, from bedside precleaning through leak testing, manual cleaning, high-level disinfection, drying, and storage. A real job description should make reprocessing competency a central requirement, not a footnote, and your onboarding should include hands-on reprocessing training and a documented competency check before a technician works independently. This is general information, not legal advice.
OSHA bloodborne pathogens and FDA safety communications
Two federal layers sit on top of the reprocessing standard. Because endoscopy technicians can reasonably be expected to contact blood and other potentially infectious material, the work is covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, which requires a written exposure control plan, training at hire and at least annually, personal protective equipment at no cost, and a Hepatitis B vaccine offered at no cost. Separately, the Food and Drug Administration has issued safety communications on duodenoscope reprocessing after infections were linked to contaminated scopes, reinforcing why technique and documentation matter. State these expectations in the posting so candidates understand the role carries real compliance weight, and build the training and vaccine offer into onboarding. This is general information, not legal advice.
Certifications: BLS first, reprocessing and SGNA credentials valued
There is no single mandatory national certification to be an endoscopy technician, which gives a small employer room to hire for aptitude and train. In practice, most centers require current Basic Life Support certification, either at hire or within a short window. Beyond that, valued credentials include training aligned with the Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates, often referenced as SGNA GTS, and a flexible endoscope reprocessing certification such as CFER for reprocessing-focused roles. A few states regulate aspects of these clinical-support roles. Decide which certifications you will require versus prefer, state them clearly, and treat a reprocessing competency check as part of credentialing. Track expiration dates so BLS and any other credentials do not lapse. This is general information, not legal advice.
FLSA: endoscopy technicians are non-exempt and hourly
Classification is straightforward. An endoscopy technician is a hands-on clinical-support role, paid hourly, and is non-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, which means overtime at one and a half times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Real postings confirm the role is non-exempt, with typical hourly pay in the range of roughly seventeen to twenty-eight dollars depending on setting, certification, and market. Because procedure schedules can run long and coverage varies, track hours carefully and account for any call or shift differentials. State the hourly, non-exempt classification in the posting, and benchmark the pay range to your setting, with outpatient and certified roles often toward the higher end. This is general information, not legal advice.
Reprocessing Is Governed by Standards and Federal Rules
Flexible endoscope reprocessing follows the ANSI/AAMI ST91 consensus standard, and the role is covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), which requires training, PPE at no cost, and a Hepatitis B vaccine offer. The FDA has issued safety communications on duodenoscope reprocessing after infections were linked to contaminated scopes.
Endoscopy technician requirements start from BLS, reprocessing aptitude, and the physical ability to do clinical work, with certifications layered on by setting. Scale the requirements to the role and whether you train in-house.
Requirement
What to look for
Education
High school diploma or equivalent
BLS
Basic Life Support certification, at hire or within a short window

SGNA-aligned or reprocessing credential (CFER) preferred
Reprocessing
Documented competency to ANSI/AAMI ST91 practices
Physical
Able to stand for long periods and assist with patients
Classification
Non-exempt, hourly; overtime over 40 hours a week
Keep the posting neutral and inclusive, since the EEOC prohibits job advertisements that show a preference based on a protected characteristic, and the SHRM guide covers the standard sections of a job description.
Endoscopy Technician Pay
Endoscopy technicians are paid hourly, with pay varying by setting, certification, and region. Set your range using government data as a reference point, then adjust for your setting and local market.
Closest Proxy Median $62,830; Actual Pay Runs Lower
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has no separate occupation for endoscopy technicians; the closest wage proxy, surgical technologists, had a median of $62,830 in May 2024, from under $43,290 to over $90,700. National sources place actual endoscopy technician pay lower, in the mid $40,000s to high $50,000s, roughly $17 to $28 an hour.
Outpatient settings and certified or experienced technicians generally pay toward the higher end of that range, while entry-level and trainee roles start lower. Because the role is non-exempt, overtime can add to total pay on long procedure days. Benchmark to your setting and local market, and post a pay range where required.
Hiring for an Independent ASC or GI Center
A large hospital hires endoscopy technicians through a recruiting team with infection-control and HR support. An independent ambulatory surgery center or GI practice, often physician-owned with ten to forty staff, does not. The administrator, a nurse manager, or a lead tech writes the posting, verifies credentials, and onboards the hire between clinical work. Here is how to write the posting for that reality.
Every published template is generic; none is written for an independent ASC or GI center
Most endoscopy technician templates on the web describe an abstract hospital role and gloss over the reprocessing and compliance that define the job. Yet a large share of these hires happen at independent ambulatory surgery centers and gastroenterology practices, many of them physician-owned with ten to forty staff and no separate human resources function. The administrator, a nurse manager, or a lead tech writes the posting and runs the hire between clinical work. These templates are built for that reality: the ASC and GI-center version is the default, with the reprocessing standards, certifications, and infection-control expectations already in place, so a small outpatient center can post a credible, complete job description without translating a hospital network's version down to size.
The compliance is real even when the center is small
A small GI center does not get a lighter compliance load than a hospital. If an endoscopy technician can reasonably be expected to contact blood or infectious material, the center owes them an OSHA exposure control plan, bloodborne pathogen training, PPE at no cost, and a Hepatitis B vaccine offer at no cost, and the reprocessing of every scope must meet the same consensus standards. Accreditation and infection-control expectations apply to the outpatient setting as much as the inpatient one. The advantage a small center has is that its program is simpler to set up once and keep current, which is exactly what a structured onboarding, training, and document process is for. The compliance does not scale down with the size of the practice.
Credential tracking and reprocessing competencies pile up quietly
An endoscopy hire comes with credentials and competencies that need tracking from day one: BLS with an expiration date, any reprocessing or SGNA-aligned certification, a documented reprocessing competency before independent work, the OSHA training record, and the Hepatitis B vaccine offer and the employee's signed acceptance or declination. At a small center, these live in scattered files and are easy to let lapse. A repeatable process, with the signed offer, the completed work-eligibility forms, the training acknowledgments, and the credential dates stored in one place and a reminder before anything expires, turns a compliance headache into a routine. That is precisely the gap a structured onboarding and document platform closes for a small clinical employer.
Track BLS and Reprocessing Competencies Before They Lapse
For a small center, the quiet risk is credential tracking. BLS expires, reprocessing competencies need periodic review, and the OSHA training and Hepatitis B vaccine offer must be documented. Store each technician's BLS date, certifications, reprocessing competency, and signed acknowledgments in one place, with a reminder before anything expires. This is general information, not legal advice.
From Hiring to Onboarding
The job description is step one. Once a candidate accepts, the same document becomes the basis for the offer and a credential-heavy clinical onboarding. Because the role is covered by OSHA and built on reprocessing competency, a smooth, repeatable process pays off every time you hire.
Send the offer
Confirm the role, pay, schedule, and start date in writing. An offer letter template makes this fast for an hourly clinical role.
Verify credentials and eligibility
Complete the I-9, verify BLS and any reprocessing certification, and capture a signed HIPAA and policy acknowledgment.
Train and check competency
Provide bloodborne pathogen and reprocessing training to ANSI/AAMI ST91, and document a reprocessing competency before independent work.
Store records and set reminders
Keep credentials, training acknowledgments, and the vaccine offer organized, with a reminder before BLS or other certifications expire.
Once your offer is ready, the offer letter template handles the next step, and an onboarding template gives the new technician a structured start. FirstHR connects the offer, paperwork, e-signatures, HIPAA and policy acknowledgments, training records, and credential tracking in one place, so an independent ASC or GI center can manage the full process, including BLS and reprocessing competency tracking, from one system. FirstHR is an onboarding and HR platform, not a reprocessing, infection-control, or clinical system, and it does not run payroll or administer benefits, so connect those separately. Applicant tracking is coming soon to FirstHR.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an endoscopy technician do?
An endoscopy technician supports gastrointestinal procedures and reprocesses flexible endoscopes to infection control standards. Day to day, that means preparing and turning over procedure rooms, assisting the physician and nurse during endoscopy, handling and labeling specimens, supporting patient positioning, and, critically, reprocessing the scopes: bedside precleaning, leak testing, manual cleaning, high-level disinfection, drying, and storage, along with the records that document each step. The role works under infection control and bloodborne pathogen precautions and wears personal protective equipment. The reprocessing side is the safety-critical core of the job, because endoscopes are complex reusable instruments that are difficult to clean. Endoscopy technicians work in hospital GI units and, very commonly, in independent ambulatory surgery centers and gastroenterology practices. The role is also called an endoscopy tech, GI technician, or endoscopy assistant. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is an endoscopy technician exempt or non-exempt under the FLSA?
An endoscopy technician is non-exempt and paid hourly. It is a hands-on clinical-support role that does not qualify for the white-collar exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act, so technicians are entitled to overtime pay at one and a half times their regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Real job postings confirm the role is classified as non-exempt, with typical hourly pay in the range of roughly seventeen to twenty-eight dollars depending on setting, certification, and local market. Because endoscopy schedules can run long and some centers use call or per diem coverage, employers should track hours carefully and account for any shift or call differentials. State the hourly, non-exempt classification clearly in the posting. This is general information, not legal advice.
What certifications does an endoscopy technician need?
There is no single mandatory national certification to work as an endoscopy technician, which lets a small employer hire for aptitude and train. In practice, most centers require current Basic Life Support certification, either at hire or within a short window such as 60 to 90 days. Beyond that, valued credentials include training aligned with the Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates, often referenced as SGNA GTS, and, for reprocessing-focused roles, a flexible endoscope reprocessing certification such as CFER. A few states regulate aspects of clinical-support roles, so check your state. A practical approach is to require BLS, prefer a relevant certification, and treat a documented reprocessing competency check as part of credentialing. Decide what you require versus prefer, state it clearly in the posting, and track expiration dates so credentials do not lapse. This is general information, not legal advice.
How much does an endoscopy technician make?
Endoscopy technicians are paid hourly, with most national sources placing average pay in the mid $40,000s to high $50,000s a year, roughly seventeen to twenty-eight dollars an hour, varying by setting, certification, and region. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not maintain a separate occupation for endoscopy technicians; the closest wage proxy is surgical technologists, which had a median annual wage of $62,830 in May 2024, with the lowest 10 percent under $43,290 and the highest 10 percent over $90,700. Actual endoscopy technician pay tends to run below the surgical technologist median. Outpatient settings and certified or experienced technicians generally pay toward the higher end. Set your range to your setting and local market, and post it where required. This is general information, not legal advice.
What is the difference between an endoscopy technician and an endoscopy nurse?
They are distinct roles with different training, scope, and pay. An endoscopy technician is a clinical-support role focused on assisting with procedures and reprocessing scopes, typically requiring a high school diploma, BLS, and on-the-job or certificate training, and is paid hourly as a non-exempt position. An endoscopy nurse is a registered nurse who holds a nursing license, assesses patients, administers medications and sedation monitoring, and carries clinical responsibilities a technician does not, at a substantially higher pay level. In a procedure, the nurse handles patient care and monitoring while the technician supports the physician and manages instruments and reprocessing. A small center usually needs both roles, and they are hired and credentialed differently. When writing a job description, be clear which role you are hiring, because conflating them attracts the wrong candidates. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do endoscopy technicians need a license?
In most states, an endoscopy technician does not need a professional license, unlike a registered nurse. The role is generally a clinical-support position based on a high school diploma, BLS certification, and trained reprocessing competency rather than state licensure. That said, a few states regulate aspects of surgical and clinical-support technician roles, and requirements can change, so a center should confirm its state's rules. Even without a license requirement, most employers expect current BLS and may require or prefer a reprocessing or SGNA-aligned certification, plus a documented reprocessing competency. The practical takeaway is to verify your state's position, decide which certifications you require versus prefer, and treat credential verification and reprocessing competency as part of onboarding and credentialing. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do small ASCs and GI practices hire endoscopy technicians directly?
Yes, and they are a core employer of the role. While large hospitals employ many endoscopy technicians, a substantial share of hiring happens at independent ambulatory surgery centers and gastroenterology practices, many physician-owned with ten to forty staff. Gastroenterology and endoscopy are among the most common specialties performed in ambulatory surgery centers, so these outpatient settings hire endoscopy technicians directly and write their own postings, usually through an administrator, nurse manager, or lead technician rather than a dedicated recruiting function. For a small center, the endoscopy technician is a core clinical-support hire, which makes a clear, reprocessing-aware job description and a repeatable onboarding process worth setting up. These templates default to that independent ASC and GI-center reality rather than to a large hospital. This is general information, not legal advice.
What should an endoscopy technician job description include?
A strong endoscopy technician job description names the setting up front, whether an ambulatory surgery center, a GI practice, or a hospital unit, and includes a short facility summary and a job summary that makes the reprocessing focus clear. Responsibilities should group into procedure support, scope reprocessing, specimens and supplies, and infection control, rather than a flat list. The fields that set a strong posting apart, and that generic templates skip, are the reprocessing standards, referencing ANSI/AAMI ST91 flexible endoscope processing; the OSHA bloodborne pathogen training, PPE, and Hepatitis B vaccine offer; the certification expectations, with BLS required and a reprocessing or SGNA credential preferred; the physical demands; and the hourly, non-exempt classification. Close with an equal opportunity statement and clear apply instructions. This is general information, not legal advice.
