Veterinary Technician - Anesthesia & Surgery

The backbone of Veterinary Emergency and Referral Group (VERG) are the amazing licensed veterinary technicians on the Anesthesia Team. Unique to VERG, our Anesthesia Technicians support all departments throughout our large specialty and emergency hospital, coordinating care with our two board-certified Anesthesiologists to ensure every procedure is set up for success. We’re in a growth phase and are looking for the best of the best to join us!

In this dynamic role, you’ll support cases in Critical Care, Emergency, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Oncology, Surgery, Radiology, and Neurology. You’ll collaborate closely with our specialists and emergency clinicians to develop and implement tailored anesthetic plans that prioritize patient well-being and safety as they undergo medical and surgical procedures and diagnostic testing under sedation or general anesthesia.

Our ideal candidates have a strong attention to detail and excellent interpersonal communication skills. We’re also looking for those with an advanced technical skill set that includes familiarity with anesthetic protocols, pain management, surgical procedures, and it’s a huge plus if the candidate has a preexisting skill set for placing triple lumens, arterial lines for IBP, and CVP's.
