About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Lead PET Technologist to take on expanded leadership responsibilities. In addition to performing advanced PET imaging duties as a Senior PET Technologist, this role will assist with payroll processing, staff scheduling, and provide support to the department manager as needed. This position will support the Northern sites and is only open to internal candidates at this time. We realize that it sounds cliché but it is true - taking care of cancer patients is a calling. It’s much more than a job. Each of us has a unique story that brought us to Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers (RMCC), but those stories usually share common themes of care, compassion, and commitment. No matter the role each RMCC team member serves in, the goal is the same: to provide the best care possible for each and every one of our patients. Whether we are a nurse holding our patient’s hand, or a scheduler on the phone finding an appointment that fits into a patient’s schedule, we are deeply connected to our patients and do what we can to help.
