DoveLewis Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital is seeking full-time Certified or Licensed Veterinary Technicians (CVT/LVT/RVT) to join our Internal Medicine team.

Note for applicants: DoveLewis hires for both a general Veterinary Technician role and department-specific technician roles like Internal Medicine. These positions share similar credential requirements (CVT/LVT/RVT), and qualified applicants may be considered for other technician openings based on experience, interest, and hospital needs.

This is a great fit for a technician who enjoys relationship-based medicine, thrives in a specialty/referral environment, and values both high-level technical skill and excellent client communication. You’ll work side-by-side with our internists each day to deliver high-quality, client-centered care and collaborate closely with ICU to support hospitalized internal medicine patients.

$30–$38/hour for Certified Veterinary Technicians (CVT, LVT, RVT, or a license transferable to Oregon)
$38–$44/hour for Veterinary Technician Specialists (VTS)
10% Saturday Differential
