Galaxy Vets
Pearland, TX, US
Summary
The veterinary technician will serve as a clinical leader responsible for anesthesia, patient monitoring, and performing diagnostic procedures like radiology and venipuncture. They will also act as a medical decision-support partner to the DVM and assist in refining clinical processes.
Job Description
This Is Not a Traditional Technician Role
We are hiring technicians who want to practice at the top of their scope in a fast-paced urgent care environment.
At Galaxy Vets, technicians are clinical leaders, not assistants to assistants. You are a medical decision-support partner to the DVM and a driver of patient care standards.
If you’re looking for a place where your skills are underutilized, this isn’t it.
If you want autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to help build a sustainable veterinary business, then keep reading.
What Makes This Role Different
Each shift, you are a key clinical pillar.
You:
- Lead anesthesia and patient monitoring
- Perform venipuncture and place IV catheters confidently
- Initiate and manage fluid therapy
- Execute radiology safely and efficiently
- Monitor hospitalized patients and escalate concerns
- Educate clients clearly and compassionately
- Support surgical flow and sterile technique
- Help refine clinical processes and standards
You are empowered to practice to the full extent of your training and registration.
What We’re Looking For
- Experienced Veterinary Technicians
- Minimum 1–2 years of direct patient care experience preferred
- Strong anesthesia, catheter placement, and diagnostic support skills
- Confidence in urgent or high-pressure situations
- Excellent client communication
- A teammate who takes initiative and thinks critically
- Evening/weekend/holiday availability required (we believe in fair rotation)
- Ability to lift 50 lbs and work in a clinical environment, including bending, standing, stooping, kneeling, moving from room to room, and sitting; may be required to walk or stand for extended periods of time
Most importantly: someone who believes their role impacts the success of the entire hospital.
Our Core Values (And Yes, We Mean Them)
🧠 Owner’s Mindset – We act like this is our business. Because it is.
🦸 Sees the Big Picture – We are part of a larger network, not just one clinic.
🌍 Always Evolving – We always look for growth opportunities; both personally and professionally
💥 Lead with Integrity – Holding ourselves, and each other, accountable to do the right thing even when nobody’s watching
😂 Sense of Humor – We support each other, celebrate wins, and keep perspective when things get busy
The Essentials
- $18-$22/hour (based on experience, and involvement with the bigger picture)
- This is a casual position to start; hours scheduled as needed
- Possibility to grow with the company as our business continues to evolve
- Great for someone looking for a side gig; shifts starting at 4pm Mon-Fri and 12pm on Sat/Sun
If you’re ready to practice high-level medicine while helping build something meaningful, we would love to meet you.
