Why You’ll Love Working With Us

Your work has an immediate impact: Every sample tells part of a patient’s story. The results you provide will help our veterinarians diagnose conditions, determine treatment plans, and respond quickly during emergency cases.

You’ll be part of the medical team: Although much of your work takes place behind the scenes, your role is essential to patient care. You’ll communicate directly with veterinarians and nursing teams throughout the hospital.

You can continue growing: Working in a 24/7 emergency and specialty hospital will expose you to complex cases and a wide range of diagnostic testing. You’ll have opportunities to strengthen your skills, share your knowledge, and keep learning.

What You’ll Do

As a Veterinary Laboratory Technician, you’ll process samples and complete diagnostic testing accurately and efficiently. You’ll help ensure urgent cases are prioritized and results are available when our medical teams need them.

Your responsibilities will include:

Performing hematology, chemistry, coagulation, urinalysis, cytology, and microbiology testing.
Preparing, processing, labeling, and storing samples.

Entering results accurately and promptly into electronic medical records.
Monitoring quality control standards.
Troubleshooting equipment and testing issues.
Communicating with medical teams to prioritize urgent samples.
Keeping the laboratory clean, organized, and well stocked.
Helping train new team members when needed.

What You Bring

You have at least two years of experience in a veterinary or medical laboratory setting, including experience in a referral or specialty hospital. You’re comfortable working with common laboratory techniques, veterinary analyzers, and diagnostic equipment.

You’re someone who:

Takes pride in producing accurate, dependable results.
