Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician - Flower Mound, TX

About the role

VEG was founded in 2014 with a mission to help people and their pets when they need it most by transforming the emergency veterinary experience. Today, VEG operates hospitals nationwide, open 24/7, 365 days a year, with an open‑concept design that lets technicians handle every kind of emergency case — including exotics — while keeping pets and their families together throughout the visit. As an Emergency Credentialed Veterinary Technician, you’ll work on the front lines of emergency care, collaborating with doctors and the team to deliver gold‑standard, emotionally intelligent nursing from triage through discharge. This role is built for someone who wants to practice at the top of their credential, continue growing advanced skills, and make a tangible difference for pets and their people in their most critical moments.

• Jump into action delivering nursing care, treatments, and emotional support in the most critical moments, from triage to discharge.
• Administer medications, monitoring, and advanced interventions — from IVs and CRIs to blood transfusions and beyond.
• Communicate like a teammate and think like a leader, helping shape care plans and keep care flowing.
• Perform CPR as a trained RECOVER professional (VEG offers RECOVER training and has the highest number of RECOVER CPR professionals and instructors in the industry).

• Use advanced techniques in your toolkit: central lines, endoscopy, ultrasound, and other specialized skills.

• High school diploma or equivalent required; associate’s degree or higher in veterinary technology from an AVMA‑accredited program strongly preferred.
• Credentialed as a Veterinary Technician (CVT, RVT, LVT, or LVMT) in the state where the VEG practice is located — required.
• VTS in ECC, internal medicine, or anesthesia/analgesia is a plus and will lead to extra considerations in compensation.
• 1+ years of experience in a veterinary technician role; experience in emergency or specialty medicine preferred.
• Basic computer skills and comprehension of practice management software and electronic medical record keeping.
• Excellent communicator who remains calm under pressure and readily supports colleagues.
• Fine motor skills for handling patients and medical equipment.
• Ability to stand for prolonged hours, kneel, and work on the floor; able to lift up to 25 kg independently and support up to 40 kg with assistance.
• Willingness to work in a noisy environment with strong or unpleasant odors.
• Availability to work nights, weekends, and holidays on a rotating or as‑needed basis based on hospital needs.
• Ability to work well in a fast‑paced environment with people from all backgrounds and personality types.

Qualifications

• Empathetic and instinctively people‑centric, whether supporting colleagues or understanding diverse perspectives.
• Humble — acknowledges mistakes, shares credit, and lifts up the team’s accomplishments.
• Strong sense of ownership over work, taking responsibility for outcomes and staying committed to long‑term, impactful results.
• Curious by nature; asks insightful questions and continuously seeks opportunities to learn and grow skills and knowledge.
