Our nuclear pharmacy prepares and dispenses radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic and therapeutic use, operating under some of the most rigorous regulatory standards in all of healthcare.  

The Role 

We are looking for a detail-oriented, dependable Nuclear Pharmacy Technician to join our team. In this role, you will support all aspects of nuclear pharmacy operations under the direct supervision of a licensed nuclear pharmacist — from preparing and dispensing radiopharmaceuticals to maintaining radiation safety compliance and coordinating time-sensitive deliveries to hospitals and imaging centers.

• Stable, predictable schedule with a locally owned company that has served the Valley for 30+ years 

Schedule 

• Monday – Friday, 12:00 AM – 8:30 AM If you thrive when the rest of the world is asleep and want consistent, predictable overnight hours — this shift is a fit. 

Occasional overtime may be required to meet patient care or business needs.
