Apprentice Mason Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

BPI Medical is a leading provider of medical instrument and endoscope repair services. Founded in 1976 in Fife, Washington, we serve hospitals, surgery centers, and health systems across all 48 contiguous states with flexible endoscope repair, rigid endoscope repair, surgical instrument repair, power equipment repair, and mobile on-site service. We operate as an ISO 13485:2016 certified facility and are trusted by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, MultiCare Health System, Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, and other anchor health systems to keep critical surgical and diagnostic equipment in service.

Our work directly supports patient care: every device that comes through our facility goes back into service, often the same week, ready for the next procedure. We are growing — significantly — and we are investing in the people, systems, and processes that will let us keep delivering on what has been our standard since 1976: it has to be right, and it has to be fast, no exceptions.

As a Rigid Endoscope Repair Technician at BPI Medical, you restore high-precision optical instruments — arthroscopes, laparoscopes, cystoscopes, hysteroscopes, and more — to OEM-equivalent clarity and full autoclave-cycle integrity. The scopes you repair go back into ORs at hospitals, surgery centers, and health systems we've served since 1976, including the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, MultiCare Health System, and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health. You own the device from intake through final QA release, signing the records that protect the patient on the other end.
