Your job is more than a job.

You bring independence, ingenuity, and initiative to everything you do. You’re confident in your technical skills — but you also understand that the best outcomes happen when expertise comes together as a team.

In our Interventional Radiology, you won’t just operate advanced imaging technology — you’ll be an essential part of a highly specialized IR team. You’ll work alongside experienced interventional radiologists and skilled nurses to diagnose and treat complex vascular disease in real time. Every case is dynamic. Every decision matters. Every patient is someone’s family member.

This role is for the technologist who:

Thrives in a fast-paced, high-acuity environment

Takes ownership of patient safety and image quality

Respects the power and responsibility of ionizing radiation

Brings both technical precision and human compassion to the procedure table

We are looking for someone who approaches each case with curiosity, accountability, and heart — someone who treats every procedure as if it were their own loved one on the table.

At our lab, your voice matters. Your expertise is valued. Your growth is supported. You’ll be part of a collaborative, forward-thinking team that is committed to clinical excellence, continuous improvement, and delivering extraordinary patient care.

Your experience, knowledge, empathy, and personality are what make you exceptional. We’re excited to learn what you’ll bring to our specialized interventional radiology team.
