Overnight ER & CC Veterinary Technician, AVES

Overnight ER & CC Veterinary Technician

Join Our Growing Team at Austin Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center!

Picture this: it’s 2:17 a.m. The waiting room is quiet… until it’s not. The doors swing open and everything shifts. You’re already moving—gloves on, mind sharp, instincts leading the way. There’s no hesitation, just action. You’ve trained for this, and your team knows it.


The next few hours are a blur of controlled chaos—triaging critical patients, running diagnostics, stabilizing the unstable, and being the steady presence when everything feels uncertain. You’re the calm in the storm for both your patients and your teammates, keeping things grounded when it matters mos t.


It’s not for everyone—the overnight hours, the intensity, the unpredictability. But for you, this is where you come alive. If you thrive when the rest of the world is asleep and take pride in being the difference when seconds count, this is where you belong.
