Technician III - X-Ray

Job Description

Job Description

The Technician III is the most senior level in the Technician career path and serves as a technical expert and team lead. Working independently with minimal supervision, the Technician III performs advanced and complex technical work across one or more diagnostic imaging modalities - including complex harvesting, testing, repair, and installation - and is recognized as a subject-matter expert (SME).

At this level, the technician exercises independent judgment to resolve non-routine and complex problems, leads or coordinates a modality as needed, mentors and trains Technician I and II staff, and serves as a primary resource for team questions. The Technician III drives quality and continuous improvement and partners with the Modality Lead and cross-functional teams, escalating only the most complex or strategic issues. This level reflects deep expertise and readiness to take on lead responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Independently perform advanced and complex technical work with minimal supervision.
• Serve as a subject-matter expert (SME) and primary technical resource for assigned modalities.
• Lead or coordinate a modality as needed, organizing work and supporting team priorities.
• Diagnose and resolve complex, non-routine system and parts issues.
• Interpret test results to determine part functionality, quality, and appropriate disposition.
• Mentor, train, and provide technical guidance to Technician I and II staff.
• Answer team questions and serve as an escalation point below the Modality Lead.
• Execute complex part-level repairs and support or oversee system installation activities.
• Drive quality, consistency, and continuous-improvement initiatives within scope.
• Accurately document all work performed and review documentation for accuracy and compliance.
