If surgery is your focus and anesthesia is your craft, this is your role.
We are seeking a highly skilled Veterinary Surgical Technician to join a privately owned, specialty surgery and advanced imaging hospital designed intentionally for precision, efficiency, and exceptional patient care. This is not a general technician role. This position is dedicated to surgical and anesthetic excellence in a focused, appointment-based specialty environment.
The Role: Surgical Technician
This position is specifically for a Surgical Technician who thrives in the operating room, is confident in advanced anesthesia monitoring, and understands the discipline and flow of a specialty surgical service.

Professional & Behavioral Expectations

The ideal Surgical Technician:
Demonstrates calm, focused decision-making under pressure
Maintains emotional intelligence in high-stress situations
Communicates clearly and respectfully with surgeons and teammates
Takes ownership and accountability for patient outcomes
Shows initiative and anticipates needs rather than waiting for direction
Upholds strict confidentiality and professionalism

You will be part of a founding clinical team shaping standards from day one.
