Job Description & Requirements
Certified Radiology Technologist - (RAD Tech)
StartDate: ASAP Available Shifts: 8 N Pay Rate: $2224.00 - $2291.00
Join a high-performing trauma radiology team as an X-ray Technologist in Birmingham, Alabama, a city known for its blend of Southern charm, vibrant urban life, and beautiful green spaces. Birmingham offers a thriving food and craft brewery scene, historic neighborhoods, and popular attractions such as the Birmingham Civil Rights District, Railroad Park, Red Mountain Park, and the nearby Appalachian foothills for hiking and outdoor recreation. With a cost of living that is generally more affordable than many larger metropolitan areas, Birmingham provides a comfortable lifestyle with access to cultural events, concerts, sports, and family-friendly activities. This position is based at a large, high-acuity trauma facility that serves as a major referral center for the region. The hospital features advanced imaging technology, a busy emergency department, and comprehensive surgical services. As part of the radiology team, you will play a critical role in emergency and inpatient care, supporting trauma surgeons, emergency physicians, and other specialists with timely, high-quality diagnostic images. In this role, you will perform a wide range of general radiographic procedures including emergency and trauma imaging, portable exams throughout the hospital, fluoroscopic studies, and routine inpatient and outpatient X-ray exams. You will work closely with radiologists and interdisciplinary teams to ensure accurate positioning, appropriate imaging protocols, and efficient patient throughput while maintaining the highest standards of safety and patient-centered care. Typical responsibilities include obtaining and verifying physician orders, preparing patients and exam rooms, positioning patients for optimal imaging, operating digital X-ray equipment, and ensuring images are appropriately labeled and transmitted through PACS for interpretation. You will also assist with complex trauma cases, coordinate imaging priorities with the emergency department, and support the operating room with intraoperative imaging when needed. Patient acuity ranges from stable ambulatory patients to critically ill and polytrauma patients requiring careful monitoring and rapid imaging. You can expect to work with a varied patient mix across all age groups. Volumes are high, reflecting the large size and trauma designation of the facility, and technologists are supported by a collaborative team of fellow technologists, radiology nurses, and support staff. Shifts are designed to provide 24/7 imaging coverage for trauma and emergency services and may include days, evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays, with opportunities for different shift patterns depending on departmental needs. The radiology department is known for its teamwork, professional respect, and commitment to excellence in imaging quality and patient care. There are opportunities to broaden your skill set across different exam areas, participate in continuing education, and be part of process-improvement initiatives that shape the future of trauma imaging at the facility. This role is ideal for an X-ray Technologist who thrives in a fast-paced environment, wants to deepen experience in trauma and emergency radiology, and is looking for both professional growth and a dynamic city to call home. If you prefer a setting where your skills directly impact high-acuity patient care and where every shift brings new clinical challenges, this position in Birmingham offers a compelling next step in your radiologic technology career.
