Job Description

Nuclear Medicine Technologist (CNMT) – Central Valley, California

Full-Time Day Shift Hospital-Based Direct Hire $115,000–$157,000

Your nuclear medicine expertise is worth more than another ordinary job.

$115K–$157K. Day shift. Hospital-based. Advanced imaging. Direct hire. California.

If you're a Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist (CNMT) who takes pride in precision, patient care, and doing technically demanding work the right way, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Serenity Med Search is representing a respected hospital in California's Central Valley in the search for a full-time Nuclear Medicine Technologist.

This isn't a travel assignment or a short-term contract. It's a permanent hospital position designed for a technologist who wants to build something longer-term—professionally and personally.

And with a salary of $115,000–$157,000, a day-shift schedule, comprehensive benefits, and access to advanced nuclear medicine technology, it's an opportunity worth a closer look.


The Work: Advanced Technology. Meaningful Patient Care.

Nuclear medicine is where technology and patient care come together.

You'll play an important role in helping physicians obtain the diagnostic information they need while ensuring every patient receives safe, compassionate, and professional care.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Performing planar, SPECT, SPECT/CT, and PET/CT imaging procedures
  • Preparing and administering radiopharmaceuticals according to established protocols
  • Following ALARA principles and radiation safety standards
  • Positioning and monitoring patients throughout examinations
  • Explaining procedures and helping patients feel comfortable during imaging
  • Working closely with radiologists, physicians, nurses, and other clinical staff
  • Maintaining accurate patient and procedure documentation
  • Performing quality control and ensuring diagnostic image quality
  • Following hospital, state, and federal regulations governing nuclear medicine practice

You'll have the opportunity to use your technical expertise while working in an environment where accuracy, safety, and patient experience all matter.


Are You the Technologist We're Looking For?

You don't need to be perfect. You do need to be good at what you do—and care about the people you're doing it for.

Required Qualifications

  • CNMT – Certified Nuclear Medicine Technologist through NMTCB or ARRT(N)
  • Active California Nuclear Medicine license or eligibility for California licensure
  • Current BLS certification
  • Hospital-based nuclear medicine experience strongly preferred
  • PET/CT experience preferred

We're especially interested in Nuclear Medicine Technologists with experience in PET/CT, SPECT/CT, diagnostic nuclear medicine, and hospital-based imaging.


What You Get

$115,000–$157,000 annual salary

Plus:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 403(b) retirement plan
  • Paid Time Off
  • Continuing education support
  • Relocation assistance available
  • Bonus potential
  • Stable, permanent employment
  • Day shift

And perhaps most importantly, the chance to join a hospital team where your nuclear medicine expertise is part of the bigger picture of patient care.
