Veterinary Surgery Technician

Veterinary Surgery Technician

Gregg Animal Hospital is looking for an experienced, confident Veterinary Surgery Technician to join our team in a specialized, surgery-focused role.

This position is ideal for a veterinary technician who loves surgery, is highly organized, has strong anesthesia and surgical skills, and enjoys teaching others. Rather than splitting your time between appointments and general technician duties, your primary focus will be surgery, anesthesia, patient monitoring, surgical preparation, and helping our team continue to grow their technical skills.

What You'll Do

Serve as the primary technician for scheduled surgical procedures

Prepare surgical patients and surgical suites

Assist the veterinarian during surgical procedures

Induce, monitor, and recover anesthesia patients

Perform anesthetic monitoring and maintain accurate anesthesia records

Place IV catheters and administer medications as directed

Properly prepare, handle, sterilize, and maintain surgical instruments

Monitor patients closely throughout the perioperative period

Ensure surgical protocols, safety procedures, and patient-care standards are followed

Maintain an organized, clean, and efficient surgery area

Help identify opportunities to improve our surgical and anesthesia processes

Train and mentor other technicians and assistants in surgery, anesthesia, patient monitoring, and surgical protocols

Provide hands-on coaching and constructive feedback to help team members build confidence and competency

Help establish consistency in how our team prepares, monitors, and cares for surgical patients

Work closely with our veterinarians and hospital manager to ensure excellent patient care and efficient surgical days

What We're Looking For

Licensed/credentialed veterinary technician preferred, but highly experienced veterinary technicians will be considered

Strong hands-on experience with surgery and anesthesia

Confident with anesthetic monitoring and patient recovery

Comfortable working independently and anticipating the needs of the veterinarian

Excellent attention to detail

Organized, dependable, and calm under pressure

Strong communication skills

A positive, team-oriented attitude

Enjoys teaching and mentoring others

Willingness to hold team members accountable to proper surgical and patient-care standards

Someone who takes pride in doing things correctly and wants to help others become better technicians

Schedule

20-30 hours per week, primarily focused on surgical days.

This is a specialized surgery position, not a traditional rotating technician position. We are looking for someone who wants to make surgery their primary focus while also helping develop the skills of our growing team.

At Gregg Animal Hospital, we are committed to providing excellent care for our patients while creating a supportive, positive, and continually growing team environment.

Our core values are:
