What are the responsibilities and job description for the Emergency Veterinary Technician position at Apex Vets?

About Us


Every ER hospital claims to be fast-paced and collaborative; few actually deliver. Apex Vets does. As an independently owned, purpose-built hospital, we’ve designed our environment around true teamwork, high-level emergency medicine, and growth. We hire people who think critically, want to advance their skills, and value a culture where professionalism and accountability are the baseline—not the bonus.


We run a tight team, support each other relentlessly, and believe high-quality care and high-quality culture are not negotiable.


If you’re looking for a place where your skill, judgment, and voice matter—keep reading.


What You’ll Do


You’ll work cases that challenge you, not bore you. Expect to:

  • Own triage with confidence
  • Place IVs, central lines, NG/OG tubes
  • Manage anesthesia for critical procedures
  • Perform CPR as part of a trained, coordinated team
  • Use your brain: CRIs, fluid plans, monitoring trends, interpreting changes
  • Assist with advanced diagnostics, radiographs, and procedures
  • Communicate clearly with clients during their hardest moments
  • Partner with doctors and techs to move cases forward efficiently
  • Document accurately and stay two steps ahead of patient needs

This is hands-on, high-acuity emergency work. You will grow here.



Who Thrives Here


People who:

  • Stay calm when everyone else’s adrenaline spikes
  • Think critically, not react impulsively
  • Support teammates and expect support back
  • Ask questions, seek feedback, and want mastery—not mediocrity
  • Handle shifting priorities without losing details
  • Carry themselves professionally with clients and coworkers
  • Can lift 50 lbs and handle long, active shifts


If you like accountability, collaboration, and medicine that actually stretches you, you’ll fit in.


If you prefer hiding, coasting, or stirring drama, you won’t.



What We Offer


  • Competitive pay tied to level and capability
  • Medical, dental, vision, and 401k with match
  • Structured onboarding that sets you up, not sets you loose
  • Clear pathways to advance your nursing level
  • CE support and active skill development
  • PTO plus additional personal time
  • Leadership that is accessible and actually present
  • A workplace where excellence is the norm—not the exception
