- Diagnostics: Run in-house bloodwork, urinalysis, and cytology, take high-quality radiographs, and keep accurate records in Cornerstone.

- Teamwork: Explain treatment plans and discharge instructions to clients, work closely with doctors and staff, and help train assistants and newer team members.

- 1–3+ years as a technician in small animal practice (required)

- CVT preferred, not required

- Proficiency in venipuncture, IV catheters, anesthesia monitoring, and radiology

- Clear communication, empathy, and a calm presence under pressure
