Veterinary Technician - Mobile Diagnostic Imaging

Veterinary Technician - Mobile Diagnostic Imaging

New Jersey

This is a traveling provider position in which, after initial training in NYC, you'd visit multiple veterinary practices across an assigned territory in New Jersey to deliver echocardiographic imaging services.

The Animal Cardiology Center (TACC) takes on the most advanced cardiac cases in the region. We have cultivated a highly skilled team that takes pride in mastering this specialized and often underserved field. Led by Board-Certified Cardiologist Dr. Justin Carlson, our team is known for delivering high-level diagnostics while maintaining a compassionate, patient-centered approach. We are committed to doing things the right way - for our patients, clients, and team.

Now, we're bringing that same standard of care to New Jersey through our growing Mobile Echocardiography Program. This is a chance to be part of something early, helping expand access to advanced cardio care while building your own skillset in a new, focused way. We welcome Certified Veterinary Technicians (CVTs) from general practice, emergency, or specialty backgrounds - prior cardiology experience is not required. We'll teach you everything you need with comprehensive hands-on training and ongoing mentorship from Board-Certified Cardiologists who are deeply committed to your professional development.

This role combines clinical practice, field-based specialization, and relationship management into a cohesive and dynamic position.
